Do not live in imagined future
If you want to be a happier, less-stressed person, there is no better place to start than with becoming aware of “anticipatory thinking,” or an imagined future.
Essentially, this type of thinking involves imagining how much better your life will be when certain conditions are met – or how stressful, or difficult something is going to be at some point down the road.
Typical anticipatory thinking sounds something like this: “I can’t wait to get that promotion, and then my life will be great.” “Life will be so much simpler when I can afford an assistant.” “These next few years will be really tough, but after that I’ll be having a smooth ride.”
You get so carried away by your own thoughts that you remove yourself from the actual present moments of your life, thereby forgetting the act of living effectively and joyfully.
There are other, more short-term forms of this type of thinking as well: “The next few days are going to be unbearable,” “I am going to be tired tomorrow,” “I just know my speech is going to be a disaster.”
There are endless variations of this stressful tendency. The details are usually different, but the result is the same –stress! Do not let your thoughts get caught up in the negative expectations and imagined horrors of the future.

Being completely absorbed in the moment
So much of the stress that we experience has to do with our minds being in too many places at the same time.
When you have a strong presence you are completely absorbed in the moment and the people you are with sense that you are truly “right there” with them, fully present. Your mind isn’t drifting somewhere else. Instead, you are focused on what’s going on and you are truly listening to what is being said. All of your energy is focused on the person who is talking to you.
Being present eases our stress because our minds are drawn back to this particular moment, fully attentive to the task at hand. We begin to operate at an optimal mental pace with near perfect concentration. Although we are working smarter and more effectively, we become calmer and more relaxed.
Our stress is further reduced because of the increased enjoyment we experience. It’s difficult to experience genuine satisfaction when your mind is too busy, scattered here and there, thinking about three or four things at once.
Yet when your mind is focused, when you are fully present and engaged, your world comes alive. Every day, ordinary experiences are seen in a new light.

A low mood is not the time to analyze your life
In low moods we lose our perspective and everything seems urgent. We completely forget that when we are in a good mood, everything seems so much better. We experience the identical circumstances – who we are married to, where we work, the car we drive, our potential, our childhood – entirely differently, depending on our mood!
When we are low, rather than blaming our mood as would be appropriate, we instead tend to feel that our whole life is wrong. It’s almost as if we actually believe that our lives have fallen apart in the past hour or two.
The truth is, life is almost never as bad as it seems when you’re in a low mood. Rather than staying stuck in a bad temper, convinced you are seeing life realistically, you can learn to question your judgment. Remind yourself, “of course I’m feeling defensive (or angry, frustrated, stressed, depressed); I’m in a bad mood. I always feel negative when I’m low”.
When you’re in an ill mood, learn to pass it off as simply that: an unavoidable human condition that will pass with time, if you leave it alone. A low mood is not the time to analyze your life. To do so is emotional suicide. If you have a legitimate problem, it will still be there when your state of mind improves.
The trick is to be grateful for our good moods and graceful in our low moods not taking them too seriously.
The next time you feel low, for whatever reason, remind yourself, “This too shall pass.” It will.

always make me do things which make you happy.
I'm a Web Designer. Baba is the Designer of my life.
Not knowing what to write and from where to start. I used to never believe in god before, don’t know what happened suddenly you (Baba) came into my life in such a way which I can’t express that joy in words.
You guide me all the time what to do and what not to. You keep a watch on me always, making me choose a right path. You have always given whatever I wanted in my life. There are so many miracles/leelas happened by you coming in my life.

Baba firstly I thank you for being in my life and taking care of me so much. I need not fear nor worry about anything – when you made me realize and go through and experience the Real and Unreal…Omsairam. My life is very blessed with so many of your leelas.
Baba if I am disturbed for any reason that will only be my foolishness…because you are the real truth, love, guru and everything. You make the impossible to possible.
Baba people are happy if their get a job or buy a house or buy some jewelry…happiness is attached to some desire being fulfilled…right? Which is temporary. But having a Guru like you, feeling your presence and your guidance with love…no words can describe this happiness …its ecstasy .
You make me feel your presence everywhere and every moment…Never ending thanks to you baba … always make me do things which make you happy.
Baba this moment is so blissful...no words to can describe…omsairam

You Are Special
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 2000 he asked. Who would like this $20 bill
Hands started going up. He said, I am going to give this $20 to one of you- but first, let me do this.
Well, he replied, what if I do this He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. Now, who still wants it
My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.
