Show caring for others

Being caring allows you to have empathy for others and to live a life based on affection, love, and compassion for the people around you. It can be tempting to fall into a life of selfishness and to focus only on your own goals and desires, but your days will be far more rewarding if you think about what the people in your life are thinking and feeling. Being caring means providing a listening ear, noticing when someone needs help, and helping your community without asking for a reward.

Here’s a few suggestions that may help you do just that.

Don’t talk just Act: 

You know that old common wisdom, “Actions speak louder than words While you can apologize for not doing something until you’re blue in the face, you’ll gain so much more appreciation by another in your life by simply doing it in the first place. Yes, it means you have to work harder to keep on top of things to begin with, even with simple things like taking out the trash or running that errand you said you would. But the reward is that your loved one will know you care because you just did it without being asked or reminded to do so.

Support others:

• Thank a friend for being there when times were tough.Example by the time you were close to me for moral support
• Show someone you appreciate them for being a good friend.
• Describe a time a small act made a big difference. Example you brought me soup when I was sick.
• Give someone a compliment.
• Tell someone why their talent/skills inspire you.
• Show your best friend why they are the BEST.
• Support her/his actions. Put yourself into the other person shoes. Help that person, if you can. Say something nice, at least. Or just do things that will ease or support her/his activities

Care the feelings of others:

About the feelings of others you should make sure that you do not criticize, advice, or manipulate others but listen to them with empathy and non-judgmental way. To care about the feelings of others it is not enough for just respect their feelings by asking questions life "How will this person feel if you do this or say this?". You need to show empathy and understanding while dealing with people to care for their feelings because they are as valid as your own.

People who are self-absorbed or who only care about themselves tend not to care when other people around them are upset, even if they caused it. Make sure this isn't you.

Even if you're not the one causing the hurt feelings, be aware of how others around you are reacting to a given comment or a piece of news. If you're in a meeting and notice that many people are visibly upset when your boss explains the objectives for a new project, you may want to talk to your boss about it.

Family Appreciation:

Send a Care Card to on their special events

• A sibling
• A cousin
• A parent
• Aunts and uncles
• Grandparents
• Close family friends

To show you care about them that  you always keep remember a little things which  belong to them. Another way to show that you really care is to pay attention to the details that people tell you. Of course, you don't have to remember every little thing. But if you focus on the important details, you'll have a better sense of who the person is and what matters to him or her.

Avoid arguing and picking Your Battles:

Arguments are a constant source of relationship strife, even amongst family members or friends. You may say, “How can I just stop arguing?” Easy, because engaging in a conversation with another person is a choice we make (whether we always do so consciously or not). Make a conscious effort to note when you’re entering into an argument, and then just stop. Remember, not every argument is worth engaging in — so don’t feel like you have to get into an argument just because someone else is asking for one. “Sorry, I can’t talk about this right now, let’s talk more about this later…” or “You’re right, I’m wrong, I’m sorry” will put a sudden halt to the argument. Which leads us to…

Think over how your action affects other people:

We are all divine souls, only our ego separates us. Every single action  make has a consequence, like a ripple in a pond that may directly or indirectly hurt or heal someone. 

ask yourself how this person would react to whatever it is you did. If the answer is "not well," then you should think about changing your actions to something that would better suit people.Of course, this doesn't mean that people always have to like or agree with everything you do. Sometimes, you have to do what you believe in without trying to pander to others. But if your behavior is selfish, rude, or unpleasant, then you have to start thinking about making a change.

Give Advice Only When it’s Needed:

People have their own minds, their own expectations, their own lives. Give advice only when it’s needed, otherwise you will obtain the opposite effect. Your genuine intention to help will be in fact perceived as a pressure. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for somebody is to let him hit his own wall.

Apologize often Even you are not wrong:

If you’re experiencing an ongoing conflict or any kind of tension with a co-worker or employee, you should try apologizing, even if you don’t think you’re wrong. It can work wonders, and even give you the upper hand. Too often we’re afraid to apologize because we think it puts us in an inferior position but, in reality, this isn’t actually true

You have only to look to look to your home life for examples. Anyone who is in a successful, long term relationship has apologized when they weren’t really sorry and didn’t think they were wrong, to keep the peace.

  Mark Goulston, a business psychiatrist recommends the following five steps to an  apology,

1. Speak in person, in private, so there’s no email trail.

2. Say, “Would you agree that we have come to different conclusions on a number of situations?”
3. Say, “If that’s so, I owe you an apology because I have never taken the time or made the effort to understand how you came to came to the conclusions you have.”
4. Say, “And furthermore I owe you another apology for something that I am not proud of. And that is that I never even wanted to understand your point of view, because I was so focused on pushing through my agenda. That was wrong and I am sorry.” He adds, “Owning up to and taking responsibility for negative thoughts and feelings they have towards you is further disarming.”
5. Say, “And if you are willing to give me another chance, I would like to fix that starting now.”

Exchange same thing that you get from other:

If you received a nice word, give it back. If you received a gift, give one back. If somebody smiled at you, return the smile. If you don’t reciprocate, you break a subtle channel of energies that are building our day to day experience. Soon, you’ll be disconnected. Not able to receive or to give care anymore.

Show Random Acts of kindness:

• Do something nice for someone and add a nice message
• Leave an extra big tip for the food server and tell them why their service is outstanding.
• Visit a senior center and ask to hear an elderly person’s life story. Leave a message about why their life made a difference.
• Mow a neighbor’s lawn, rake their leaves, shovel a sidewalk and leave an anonymous Care Card.
• Send a Care Card to an elderly person who has been an influence in your life.
• Write a letter to a teacher who influenced your life.
• Reach out to someone who has dedicated their life to your favorite cause. Tell them why it matters. (Example: the work you do ensures a healthy future for our planet earth.)
• When buying coffee, pay for the person behind you. Hand them a Care Card and remind them why they matter.
• Leave Care Cards at a blood donation center.
• Tell someone what you notice about them. (Example:your confidence is dazzling!)
• Reach out to a homeless person.
• Give a compliment to a stranger.
• Tell someone that you admire them.

Always be grateful to others:

As often as you can. There is no imaginable context in which you cannot say “thank you” when somebody does something for you. Or at least I can’t imagine such a context. Saying “thank you” is not only the simplest form of respect, but also the easiest way to show that you’re just caring.

Ignore feeling of selfishness:

Though it's hard to decide to stop being completely selfish one day, anyone can work on being less selfish in his or her daily interactions and everyday life. If you want to be less selfish, then you have to spend more time thinking about how others are feeling instead of always worrying about me, me, me. The next time you have an interaction with someone, focus on how the person is feeling and what he's been up to instead of talking about yourself or only thinking about your own needs. The more aware you are about not being selfish, the easier it will be to truly care for others.

Remember that there's a difference between being selfish and in taking good care of yourself and not neglecting your own needs for the sake of what others want.

Treat others like you want to be treated:

This may sound very obvious, but you'd be surprised by how few people actually live by this law. If you want to be more caring, then you have to be kind and thoughtful toward others, and think of how you would feel if you were in their shoes. You may not care much when you make a rude comment to your waiter because you're cranky, but think about how the comment would make him feel. You may not care about being rude to your little brother, but you should think about how your words really affect him. Making a habit of putting yourself in someone else's shoes can make a big difference in how you see the world.

You may not be down on your luck, but someone else may be. Try to imagine what that's like before you're brusque or uncaring to someone who is less fortunate than you

Increase your Trust Level:

If you can. Give to the other person all the freedom she/he’s asking for. Even if that freedom crosses the boundaries you’d be willing to accept. That’s the only way to find out if you’re in a healthy relationship. If you don’t have reasons to trust the other, then don’t. In this case, you will show that you care about yourself.

Help people in need:

Helping people in need is a major aspect of being caring. You can't be a caring person if you're only out to help yourself. Helping other people means helping both the friends and family members who need help in their lives, and also helping out the less fortunate people in your community, or even people you may not know that well who need assistance. Be on the lookout for people who need help and find a productive way to get involved if you want to be more caring.

Your friends and family members may not always admit it when they need your help. However, it's up to you to notice when they are just being polite and really need some extra help, whether they want you to do some more chores or to run some errands.

Get involved in a soup kitchen, literacy center, local library, teen help program, or another program in your area that allows you to make other people's lives more full.

 Do favors for people:

 Caring people spend time doing favors for people and helping them out when they need it. This doesn't mean you have to become someone's errand boy, but it does mean that you should make an effort to help people out, whether you're picking up coffee for your boyfriend, giving your little brother a ride to school, or helping your best friend pick out the flowers for her wedding. While there should be a balance and the person should do favors for you also if he or she is capable of it, you should make a habit of doing favors for those you care about.

Though you don't have to spread yourself too thin, sometimes the greatest joy can come from doing a favor for someone you don't know that well. If you shovel your neighbor's driveway while you're shoveling yours after a snowstorm, the effort will be much appreciated.Be on the lookout. People won't always ask you if they need a favor. Sometimes, you should just be able to tell when they really need your help but don't want to impose.

Share with other whatever you have:

Sharing really is caring. If you want to be a more caring person, then you should be willing to share your things. This means sharing things you actually care about, like clothes you like, or half of your favorite sandwich, not sharing something that means nothing to you, like a book you didn't like much anyway. Be on the lookout for opportunities to share things, whether it's a material object or a piece of advice. People who are caring are unselfish, and sharing is a key trait of a person who is selfless.[4]

Sharing doesn't only mean material goods. You can also share knowledge. Take the time to talk to a high school student about the college admissions process if you're in college. Talk to someone starting out in your career field about your experiences. Help a younger person on your tennis team master her forehand. Look for opportunities to improve a person's life by sharing what you know

Overcome depression and anxiety naturally

Depression v/s Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are common disorders often confused with each other, but the two couldn’t be more different. So, why is the pair so regularly mixed up? They are frequently treated in the same manner and, according to one study, 85 percent of those with major depression were also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, Psych Central reported.

People with the biological disorder of depression often feel emotions of hopelessness, despair and anger — which impairs the completion of daily tasks. However, when someone is impacted by an anxiety disorder, they experience overwhelming fear and panic, similar to any creature fighting for its life in the wild.

A person who primarily suffers from anxiety will focus on future prospects and become overwhelmed with fear that everything will turn out badly. These feelings can restrict a person’s ability to work, maintain relationships or leave the house.

Comparatively, depressed people don’t typically worry about what might happen to them in the future, but instead they think they already know what will happen and believe it will inevitably be bad. Key symptoms include loss of interest and enjoyment in usual activities, lack of energy and difficulty concentrating.

Stress can be effects on Health

How to overcome depression and anxiety naturally:

Depression can be a short-term “downer” or long-term clinical depression lasting months. But, long or short, for most of us, learning how to naturally overcome depression and anxiety is not only possible, it’s a simple process.Absolutely. From my own personal experience of severe depression and anxiety, they can both be cured, permanently, without drugs.

Over 125 million people worldwide suffer from debilitating depression. And depression is a major cause of failed health, relationships and finances. So, depression symptoms are not something that should be taken lightly.But even though drugs and therapy are the usual solutions, in many cases, overcoming depression naturally can be even more effective long-term.

So instead of steadily singing-the-blues, it’s time to start overcoming depression naturally and begin directing your feet to the sunny side of the street. Here are the 7 most powerful ways of overcoming depression naturally:

Exercise can reduce depression and Anxiety Ratio:

Exercise rewires/heals your brain, it boosts your self-esteem, and it releases endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and nor epinephrine (happy chemicals) that play an important part in regulating your brain’s functioning and your mood.Be active and exercise daily. A half-hour of regular physical activity helps you overcome depression and anxiety and sleep better

Regular exercise has been scientifically proven as being more effective than anti-depressants at getting people out - and keeping them out - of depression.

Be Socializing Always Release you from Depression and Anxiety:

 Socialize with positive people. Actually, just having a friendly chat with a checkout counter clerk can help. But best of all is to have a community of supportive extended family to share the joys of life with. Meet up with friends or family members. Meet up with anyone who cares about you. Meet up with anyone who makes you laugh.

One of the best things that you can do for your mental health is to frequently surround yourself with people who make you feel seen, supported, and loved.

Go for walks with them. Go to movies and/or stand-up comedy shows with them. Anything that gets you out of the house and socializing is a huge win. It will also help you to have more structure in your life by having set plans in your calendar.

Eating right food and stay healthy mind and body:

To the best of your ability, eat a diet loaded with vegetables, lean proteins, and fruit. Too much sugar, caffeine, alcohol/drugs, and (for some people) dairy and grains will lead to a lot of inflammation and bad/erratic moods. If you can’t muster up the energy to make your own nutrient-dense, homemade meals, then ask a friend, family member, or significant other to make your meals for you.

Include good-mood nutrients. Even with a great diet you can’t get all the nutrients you need to balance hormones and overcome depression. So include a good multiple with vitamin D and these extra supplements

Omega 3’s especially have shown to be an extremely promising antidepressant replacement, with zero side effects.

: There is some evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may ease symptoms of anxiety disorders and lift your mood by lowering levels of stress chemicals such as adrenaline and cortisol in the body. Canned fatty fish, such as tuna and salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds are all great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. An Israeli study found that students given fish oil supplements had less test anxiety as measured by their eating and sleeping habits, cortisol levels, and mental states.

Take natural sunlight for 15 minutes a day

You can begin to rebuild the supply of serotonin by doing things that increased serotonin, not only in your brain but your gut as well, like spending time outdoors in the Sun. By being in the sun, it creates and synthesizes melatonin and serotonin in our body to help regulate our mood and sleep cycle.

Get at least 20 minutes of direct sunlight every day, but only before 11 am and after 3 pm. This is because the ultraviolet light A (UVA) is less during those times.

The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, the skin’s thickest layer. Both play a key role in premature skin aging, eye damage (including cataracts), and skin cancers. Getting the right amount of sun has been shown to be healthy for us but in small amounts, so you want to restrict yourself from being in the sun at the times where the UVB rays are the strongest.

How to improve Your Self Esteem 

Happiness is not only emotion it’s a lifestyle:

Natural state of mind is joy? Everything that you experience from an outside source affects you internally. What you see, what you hear, what you taste, what you smell, and touch all affects our senses, which in turn affects how we feel. We are ‘feeling’ beings. Everything we do and everything we think about plays a crucial role in how we feel. If we don’t like something, we tend to stay away from it because it doesn’t feel good to us. The opposite is true too.

We are ‘feeling’ beings. Everything we do and everything we think about plays a crucial role in how we feel. If we don’t like something, we tend to stay away from it because it doesn’t feel good to us. The opposite is true too.

For example, you can listen to your favorite music, watch your favorite movies, read your favorite books, eat your favorite food, hang around your favorite people — anything that can give you an experience of feeling good and happy. This simple practice is what will begin to reshape your thought patterns and put you in a better state of mind, which in turn will help to increase the ‘feel-good’ chemicals within your body and brain to help lessen the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Stress can be weaken your immune system

Take a Sound Sleep:

  If you’re slamming coffee, isolating yourself indoors, and only sleeping for an hour a night, it is absolutely inevitable that you’ll feel terrible within a week (whether you classify yourself as depressed or not

Sleep is when we recharge at the deepest level. This is when we regenerate and rest.

Do whatever you need to prioritize high quality sleep. It can be challenging to do when your mind is racing, but there are steps that you can take to overcome this.

Journal out your thoughts before you go to bed. If you write them down on paper, it will feel like you’ve somewhat let go of them and allowed the book to hold your thoughts so that you don’t have to.

As much as is possible, try to go to bed at a consistent time. You train your body how to sleep. If you always go to bed around 10pm, it will come to expect it from you and falling asleep will become easier over time.

 Deep breathing soothes the body and heals the mind:

There’s a reason certain breathing practices have been around for thousands of years, and that’s because there’s actually something to it. Studies have shown that breathing techniques, particularly yogic breathing, have a profound effect on our body and mind and can actually heal the brain from injury.

Researchers have documented the benefits of a regular practice of simple, deep breathing which include:

Reduced anxiety and depression

Lower/stabilized

Blood pressure

Increased energy levels

Muscle relaxation

 Decreased feelings of stress and overwhelm

A simple but powerful breathing technique is to sit in a quiet comfortable place, your feet on the floor, arms uncrossed laying palms up on your thighs, eyes closed and focus only on your breathing. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of 5 and breathe into your belly, and then into your chest. Then breathe slowly to the count of 5, breathing out of your mouth while slightly puckering your lips making a whooshing sound.Do that three to four times, and at the end of your last exhale, begin to notice how you feel. When you do, you’ll discover that you feel calmer.

 That is because you’ve released Oxycontin within your brain and body.  This simple yet powerful breathing technique is retraining your brain to be calm, do this  often enough and you’ll discover just how easy and effective it is. You are highly encouraged to do this daily as many times as needed.
