4. Emotions That Drain Energy:

People don't realize how much energy they are wasting by being jealous, quarreling and , holding a grudge.

Try this, wake up one morning with the intention to be happy and peaceful throughout out the  day, even if obstacles arise decide to take everything that comes lightly, you will be surprised at the amount of energy you will have even if you were  on your feet working for 14 hours.

By making a conscious decision to take things lightly you will  soon discover that you become a relaxed and more joyful person, your life just becomes easier and on top of that people will be amazed at your ability to cope in different situations.

Now on the subject of jealousy, a disgusting and meaningless emotion that consumes on the inside & makes you a bitter person with low self-esteem.

News flash, jealousy wont make the subject of your envy less then what he already  is, it will rather just make you less of a person  because  instead of seeing the subject as someone you could copy or aspire to be to improve yourself,  you have given in to negative emotions.

 

That perfect person (successful, beautiful, talented doesn't affect you in any way because each person is an individual (and you don't know everything about that person’s life so be careful what you wish for because you might get it…).

Next time you see a person that triggers the ugly jealousy beast in you, thank him with a pure hart for presenting to you the opportunity to improve yourself. And if you're not pleased with your self just make yourself better ( I am not sure what you mean here, do you mean ‘just try and feel better’, after all nobody is pointing a gun at your head.

Now with regard to petty quarrels well you are not alone in the world, so you will encounter situations where people are looking to pick up a fight with you.

When this situation arrives I suggest you tell the person that you know that the anger he is taking out on you has nothing to do with you, he has unresolved issues in  his life and you just happen to stand conveniently in front of him and that you forgive him (this is only true if you haven’t done anything and for no reason the person picked on you).

You must understand that every person that we deal with during the day is putting up with so many different things and some times they need to release  steam to prevent them from exploding.

When you let things get to you, you wear yourself down, you lose your good mood. It is important to learn to to get too attached to situations, don't carry things, especially negative emotions with you throughout the day, by doing so you become stronger mentally, by not letting the other person affect you; you deny them the satisfaction of bringing you down with them.
