Personal boundaries

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Personal development

Are you a person that hasn’t really defined clearly what bothers you and you accept pretty much any behavior from others as long as you get approval from them? Or you have defined boundary around things that you want and you don’t want to accept from others, but you don’t express and defend that very much and you expect others to figure out whether they’ve crossed your boundary and if they cross it you get angry and mad at them, blaming them for crossing your boundary? Or you have clearly defined boundaries around about the things you allow, but you get very emotional when your boundaries get crossed? All these examples lead to not having a personal boundary (a healthy one).

What does it mean to have personal boundaries? How to have personal boundaries that are also healthy? Why it is important to have healthy personal boundaries within different context of your life (relationships, family, business, etc). These are some of the questions that I want to cover and provide some answers. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m A GOD, but not THE GOD

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Science, Spirituality


We all come from the same source, from the same creator, THE DIVINE and therefore we are an expression of THE DIVINE in different physical forms! THE DIVINE is the source of unlimited resources and if we are an expression of it, we have access to these resources! We all were born with the ability of FREE WILL, the ability to CHOOSE and the ability to DECIDE! Based on our free will we tailor our lives and create our destiny. Therefore, each one of us is an artist, the Michelangelo that designs and shapes the masterpiece, the life. Each one of us is a CREATOR. Each on of us A GOD, but not THE GOD (don’t get confused here :) )…

To explain these claims I want to start with a little scientific background. Thus I want to share some stories with you, which some of you might already be familiar with. Lets start with quantum physics. Read the rest of this entry »

Values

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Personal development, Science

People have different values (family, success, glory, freedom, duty or even global good) withing different contexts (career, relationships, family or life in general) and based on their values they tend to motivate themselves and act upon them. This also means that their values are not their wishes or goals. As matter of fact they could want or wish something, but in the core they could value something completely different or even contradictory. For example, a person could not be satisfied with their current job (e.g. although they have a good compensation – good salary, they feel like not being creative and not having the possibility to express themselves), so they would like to find something where they could be more creative, yet they wouldn’t take any actions to achieve that. This means that security in a higher value than their ability to be creative and to express themselves. Other example would be that a person feels that health is important and wanting to be healthy, yet to not take any action on a daily basis to exercise or watch out on their nutrition. Obviously their wants are not congruent with their real values. Get the point?

Recently I read several interesting articles from Clare W. Graves and found his major researching contribution about different value systems and the evolution of them. This stuff blew my mind how profound it was :o . Hence I feel compelled to share it with you. :p Read the rest of this entry »

Manage your time

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Personal development

Often times we find ourselves overwhelmed by a bunch of TODO lists, being too busy or totally stressed up, lacking the time for the things that are important to us. So when it comes to the point of wanting to do something for us like to go on a trip or travel, to go exercise or do sports, to spend more time with our friends or family, to read some books etc. we make an excuses like: “Not now”, “I can’t to that now”, “I don’t have time for such things”, “I’m to busy now. Maybe later”. And the truth is that this “later” never comes :) … Wouldn’t it be nice if we had more time? The day lasted longer? Even then I’m sure we would end up lacking time ;) …. So the truth is that we don’t have MORE TIME. In order to make it more quality, we have to manage the time we have. Before I get into the description of time management, I want to ask you a really important question. What exactly is TIME? How would you define it? I mean think about it! :) Read the rest of this entry »

Watch how you feed your mind

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Personal development

Your body needs fuel energy we call FOOD! And we all know that our body is a reflection of what we fill in. If we fill it with junk food like unsaturated fatty acids, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or any drugs, the body becomes an expression of its fuel and usually ends up over-weighted, with a “beer belly” :), weakened, subservient to liver, heart, diabetic or any other disease. As oppose to that, if the body is exposed to a healthy life style, sport activities, if the food which is taken is used only as a fuel (not as a replacement for feeling bad, being depressed or bored…), if enough rested through daily sleep, not over-stressed etc etc; it becomes stronger, more energized and healthier.

Just as the body needs FOOD as fuel to exists, our mind also needs THOUGHTS as fuel to the same purpose and will feed itself on what ever we fill in it. Even though we might not be conscious of the food we feed our mind with, it always processes and “digests” it. What a hell am I talking about? :) Be patient! Keep reading!

Our genes are not our fate

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Health, Personal development, Science

Have you ever blamed your genes for your unhappiness in life? You find that you are over-weighted because also everyone in your family is and that you cannot do anything about it because it is written in your genes? Or maybe you are aware of losing you hair because your father and your grand father did? Or you never found yourself to be smart enough, because of your ancestors, because of your genes?

Well, there is a way to get rid of this excuse and to start CHANGING YOUR GENES the way you want them to be! Yes, read that right! :idea:  8)

Running a marathon

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Fun, Health

For all those that don’t already know him, today I want to present the running champion, coach, diet and fitness expert and an author, known by name Stu Mittleman. This guy is really incredible. He holds the world record for running 1,000 miles in 11 days. Then, at nearly 50-years-old, he ran 3,000 miles over two months—more than two marathons a day for over 56 days! He literally ran across the United States from San Diego to New York City.
When asked why does he runs so much, he replied with a laugh: “Because I don’t have time to run more :)”… Many people can’t understand him or his reason for doing that, but for him all this it makes sense… HE IS LIVING HIS PURPOSE! ;) :) Read the rest of this entry »

Purpose driven life

   Posted by: gjovanov   in Personal development, Spirituality

There are two possible ways of living your life. Fulfilling your needs based on achievement and a set of rules that are defined by our society/environment, meaning to have an external orientation for fulfillment. The other one is based on the sense of higher purpose in life, taking into account your internal feelings about the right things to do. This approach has an inner orientation of fulfillment.
