HOW POSITIVITY

HowPositivityMakesYouHealthyUnderstanding positive reasoning and self-talk. By Nidhi Jain

Positive reasoning doesn't imply that you keep your head in the sand and overlook life's less charming circumstances. Positive reasoning just implies that you approach disagreeableness in an increasingly positive and beneficial manner. You think the best will occur, not the most exceedingly awful.

Positive reasoning regularly begins with self-talk. Self-talk is the perpetual stream of implicit contemplations that go through your mind. These programmed considerations can be certain or negative. A portion of your self-talk originates from rationale and reason. Other self-talk may emerge from misguided judgments that you make due to absence of data.

In the event that the musings that go through your mind are for the most part negative, your point of view is almost certain critical. In the event that your contemplations are for the most part positive, you're likely a hopeful person — somebody who rehearses constructive reasoning.

Analysts keep on investigating the impacts of positive thinking and good faith on wellbeing.

● Expanded life expectancy ● Lower paces of misery and pain ● More prominent protection from the basic virus ● Better mental and physical prosperity ● Better cardiovascular wellbeing and decreased danger of death from cardiovascular illness ● Better adapting abilities during difficulties and times of pressure

Not certain if your self-talk is sure or negative? Some basic types of negative self-talk include: Separating

You amplify the negative parts of a circumstance and channel out the entirety of the positive ones. For instance, you had an incredible day at work. You finished your undertakings early and were praised for doing an expedient and intensive activity. That night, you center just on your arrangement to do much more assignments and disregard the commendations you got.

Customizing

When something terrible happens, you naturally accuse yourself. For instance, you listen to that a night with companions is dropped, and you expect that the adjustment in plans is on the grounds that nobody needed to associate with you.

Catastrophizing

You naturally envision the most noticeably awful. The drive-through bistro gets your request wrong and you consequently imagine that the remainder of your day will be a calamity.

Polarizing

You see things just as either fortunate or unfortunate. There is no center ground. You feel that you must be great or you're an absolute disappointment.

Concentrating on positive reasoning

You can figure out how to transform negative intuition into positive thinking. The procedure is basic, yet it requires some serious energy and practice — you're making another propensity, all things considered. Here are a few different ways to think and carry on in a progressively positive and hopeful manner:

Recognize zones to change

In case that you need to turn out to be progressively idealistic and participate in increasingly positive thinking, first distinguish aspects of your life that you as a rule ponder, regardless of whether it's work, your day by day drive or a relationship. You can begin little by concentrating on one zone to approach in a progressively positive manner.

OCCASIONALLY DURING THE DAY, STOP AND ASSESS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT

YOU FIND THAT YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ARE PRINCIPALLY NEGATIVE, ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT A POSITIVE TURN ON THEM.

Check yourself

Occasionally during the day, stop and assess what you're thinking. On the off chance that you find that your considerations are principally negative, attempt to figure out how to put a positive turn on them.

Be available to humor

Allow you to grin or snicker, particularly during troublesome occasions. Look for humor in ordinary happenings. At the point when you can chuckle at life, you feel less focused.

Follow a sound way of life

Plan to practice for around 30 minutes on most days of the week. You can likewise split it up into 10minute pieces of time during the day. Exercise can decidedly influence state of mind and lessen pressure. Follow a solid eating routine to fuel your brain and body. Also, learn strategies to oversee pressure.

Encircle yourself with constructive individuals

Ensure those in your life are sure, strong individuals you can rely upon to offer supportive guidance and input. Antagonistic individuals may expand your feeling of anxiety and make you question your capacity to oversee worry in sound manners.

Practice positive self-talk

Start by observing one straightforward guideline: Don't utter a word to yourself that you wouldn't state to any other person. Be delicate and empowering with yourself. On the off chance that a negative idea enters your brain, assess it objectively and react with confirmations of what is acceptable about you.

Consider things you're grateful for in your life. We

One Fine Day

My husband and I are running a rubber chemicals business in Chennai. Our business involves buying and selling rubber chemicals and collection of dues on credit. As we had observed good business picking up at Kerala, we had appointed a person at Kochi to manage the business. He was selected through a known friend of mine and was trained by my husband to look after the affairs of the business. For about a year, the Kochi Branch Incharge worked meticulously, and collected the dues regularly, deposited the proceeds in our accounts, and appeared to be reliable.

Casually my husband used to contact all our clients in Tamil Nadu and Kerala to stay in touch and be courteous. At that time one of the Kochi clients had asked my husband “Sir was there any problem with your business recently, as your Kochi Branch Incharge had taken Rs. 50,000 in cash from us stating that there was some immediate financial crunch in your business.” To our surprise, we tried contacting our Kochi Branch Incharge. But how many overtimes we called him his phone number was not in use/not reachable. Then my husband went in person to Kochi and tried to locate him all in vain. We were shocked but this was a lesson for us. Currently, we have strictly instructed all our clients to make payments through NEFT to our company’s account and never make any cash payments under any circumstances. –R. Sakunthala

The miles of physical distance were greater or the passage of filial love had widened who could fathom. With quivering fingers Mamta pressed the ‘add friend’ button.

DIVORCE: ENEMY OF HAPPY FAMILY

contrast most Indian women are housewives. They are not allowed to earn by their husbands and/or inlaws.

As a result, Indian women are forced to carry on the marriage in the name of culture. They can't divorce their husbands because they are not economically self dependent. So, if husbands divorce them they need compensation for livlihood. Their age for being employed expires. Again remarrying is difficult because parents decides again this second marriage.

Conclusion: Unless both boys and girls are made economically self dependent, they can't divorce easily or remarry. Here, parents of both sides are the greatest hindrance!

Thanking you! This is with reference to the article, Divorce: Enemy of Happy Family by Prabhuling Dandin life) is very important and supreme because this stage is responsible for the growth and development of the world. The Saints, Yogis, Mahatmas, and even demons are the result of this life. Marriage is not only a union of two bodies but soul, also.In general, Marriage is a state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband and a wife in the consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. When it comes to the Hindu religion, marriage is termed as a scared relationship. It joins two individuals for life so that they can pursue dharma i.e. satisfaction of physical urge within the limits of the rules of society. The institution of marriage is a universal institution that exists in every society. However, types of marriage differ from society to society. There are four basic types of marriages like Polygamy, Polyandry, Monogamy, and Group marriage.

India is a land of sanskar and culture. It has a rich tradition of more than 5000 years. It is also known as Mahaguru of the world in many aspects. It is a birthplace for many things in the world, may it be Arts, Science, Education, Maths, Medicine, Yoga, and so on. According to Veda and Upanishadas, the life of a human being is divided into 4 parts among these; Grihasthasharam (Married 2020). Actually, in Western countries the candidates decide their marriage themselves and get out of it when it does not run smoothly. In India, the parents decide their sons/daughters marriage as if the candidates are puppets!

Furthermore, in the West most women are economically independent and hence they can't tolerate injustice and torture, so they opt for divorce and easily remarry. In – Suresh Prasad, Champasari

The present age is the age of technology. Within a span of a few clicks, anything can go viral and the whole world can get to know about it. Do you remember how Kokila Ben’s rap song went viral suddenly? Ironically, the characters were stalked more compared to when their show was on-air. But the 0trend of daily soaps seems to be lacking lustre now. Gone are the times when substantial content was telecast on the television. Now, most families are getting rid of their cable connection because of the loss/ degradation of content. If you might argue saying that one can hold on to the cable connection for the sake of cartoon shows and movies, I would counter by offering you OTT subscriptions. Not only do these streaming platforms provide an embarrassment of riches but also provide a high-quality viewing experience. Plus, there is not just one platform; there are so many! Here are a few points why the Indiandaily soaps are not the first choice any more: present day serials of the Indian television. The unrealistic content, too much violence and family members plotting against one another is shown in these serials. The storyline is too poor, it can be well twisted and turned as per the popularity graph of a serial. You just cannot imagine watching these daily soaps with family as the hatred among the family members leave a bad impact on the innocent minds of the children. They take to crimes after watching the violence on the television. It is the need of the hour to show something that leaves some positive message for the viewers apart from entertaining them. Time is too precious and people now have learned to spend it wisely. Story of the daily soaps should be akin to reality and it should refresh the tired minds.

STOP SPIRALING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Stop Spiraling Negative Thoughts Ways to stop an anxiety spiral.By Himshikha Shukla Anxiety is a reaction designed to protect you from threats. It can make you more alert and focused. But when you're anxious, decisions will often be limited to 'fight-flight-freeze' reactions. Your vision narrows and you lose access to the more creative parts of your brain. In addition, your breathing might become shallow. Anxious moments happen to everyone. But they don't have to take over. Having strategies to calm yourself down and re-center can make all the difference, whether you're dealing with an anxiety disorder or an extra-stressful time in life. The problem isn’t that something made you feel bad for a little bit of time, but that it isn’t healthy to have it impact your entire day, or have it cause a domino effect of negative thoughts that aren’t related at all. When you catastrophize, you actually do two things: first, you predict the worst possible outcome; second, you assume that if this outcome transpires, you won’t be able to cope and it will be an absolute disaster. And, as anyone who’s ever let a simple rejection letter give way to thoughts about not being good enough in general knows, it’s easy to fall into this spiral. The article,Stop Spiraling Negative Thoughts by Himshikha Shukla,December 2020, highlights the bad effects of the anxiety along with the valuable tips on managing the vicious cycle of negative thoughts.We all feel anxious at one time or the other but the people suffering from the anxiety disorder lead a miserable life.They constantly live in some unknown fear and imagine it be real.Their best efforts to dispel these negative thoughts fail and they always feel some harm will be done to them.This imaginary dread always keep them in stress and their mental peace is totally ruined.They must follow a few guidelines to stop these stressful thoughts.They can do excercise, listen to music,and get themselves absorbed in a creative work.They can visualise burning their depressing thoughts for ever.They can apply any therapy to get rid from the distressing thoughts but they should never indulge in some foolish ritual to stop these. –Harinder Kaur, Jalandhar
