Life can be tricky. There are traps galore, and most of them we are probably not even aware of. None of us seeks to waste our lives, it just seems to happen. Awareness is the key, but it’s never so simple. Here are six signs that you may be wasting your life. If you find that a few of them apply to you, don’t fret. Have a sense of humor about it. Laugh at yourself. And then pull yourself out of the trap and jump-start your life. Sometimes you have to wreck your life in order to fix it.
1) You’re unhealthy: mind, body, and soul
“The most dangerous phrase in the language is, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” –Grace Hopper
If you worry too much and you tend to dwell on the past and do a little too much of #2 in this article, you may be unhealthy in mind. If you never exercise and you are not eating healthy food and moderating unhealthy food, you may be unhealthy in body. If you never practice mindfulness or meditation and you never embrace nature and solitude, you may be unhealthy in soul.
Nikola Tesla was correct when he said “Our entire biological system, the brain (the body, the soul), and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies.” It’s our responsibility to tune our biology and our consciousness to resonate with the fundamental harmonics of the universe. First and foremost: in order to have a solid foundation from which to live a meaningful life, get yourself healthy.
2)You are overly negative
“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” –William James
“Choose” is the keyword in the above quote by William James. This is a big one. Happiness is indeed a choice. If you’re overly negative, generally glass-is-half-empty, and complain too much, then you are choosing poorly. There’s a wealth of joy to be savored in this life. Start savoring it. Begin now. With enough practice those negative thoughts will fade away, and even when things go horribly wrong you’ll appreciate how they can make you stronger, and therefore happier, in the long run.
