Download or read book Inner Calm Buddha written by Abdul Mumin Muhammad and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The more I became self-aware, I began to see that my personal beliefs affected the way treated myself and others. I was not aware that I was stuck in a state of self-judgment, I reacted to things instead of responding. My beliefs affected my prosperity, morals, and values. My belief system impacted my personal happiness. Self-belief must be observed for self-improvement. I used to believe that I was more special than others, so I was mean to others. We can change to become a person by challenging our old beliefs. Do not worry about being honest with others; focus on being true to yourself, and everything else will fall into place. Trying to be honest with others will make us continue to lie. Living life honestly does not mean trying to look or sound perfect for others and for God, It simply means being yourself fully without shame.

Download or read book Inner Calm Buddha Vol 3 written by Abdul Mumin Muhammad and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that there are spiritual methods to unload pain from our hearts. This is why becoming self-aware is important. I believe that we came here to experience life as it is, not selfishly how we want it to be. We all must experience the positive and negative, the problem happens when we deny the bad as if we are so special. We are also able to heal and detach from past experiences when we allow ourselves to grow inwardly. Negative experiences happen to help us mature. Our personal beliefs about ourselves affect our mood and feelings. So I had to ask myself what beliefs do I have that are causing me to stay insecure, angry, or depressed? If I change my perception of myself then my feelings about my potential would change. Maybe everything is not all bad, it's how I choose to see it, this is why I stopped being so hard on myself. We did not come here to be perfect, we came here to evolve during this temporary life.
Download or read book Inner Calm Buddha Vol 2 written by Abdul Mumin Muhammad and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can be challenging to be ourselves. I found myself living for the world instead of listening to my heart, this is not easy because we don't want to feel embarrassed for not fitting in. Standing out can feel scary at first, but eventually, I realized that I am not standing out, I am simply being myself, standing out is just the result of doing so. Being a hero is not about saving others, it is simply being who we are supposed to be, being bold and authentic. In order to be authentic, we must learn to think from a place of unconditional love, not fears and insecurities. But we must look deep within to live fearlessly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way to inner peace is illuminated in this accessible guide to tending one's inner landscape. The lives of outstanding figures such as the Buddha, Walt Whitman, and Gandhi are used to connect the ideal of inner peace with how real people cultivate peace in their everyday lives.

A message of hope and inspiration permeates this pragmatic approach and is exemplified by the author's own practice of meditation.

Download or read book Outer Order Inner Calm written by Gretchen Rubin and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this lovely, easy-to-use illustrated guide to decluttering, the beloved author of The Happiness Project shows us how to take control of our stuff—and, by extension, our lives. Gretchen Rubin knows firsthand that creating order can make our lives happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. But for most of us, a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work. When we tailor our approach to suit our own particular challenges and habits, we can find inner calm. With a sense of fun, and a clear idea of what’s realistic for most people, Rubin suggests dozens of manageable tips and tricks for creating a more serene, orderly environment, including: • Never label anything “miscellaneous.” • Ask yourself, “Do I need more than one?” • Don’t aim for minimalism. • Remember: If you can’t retrieve it, you won’t use it. • Stay current with a child’s interests. • Beware the urge to “procrasticlear.” By getting rid of things we don’t use, don’t need, or don’t love, we free our minds (and our shelves) for what we truly value.
