Meditations Meditating for Good Will

Posted on by

One of the things we are taught when we are young is to respect each other and to treat each other with the up most respect. However some where along the way we seem to forget the art of good will. There is a simple meditation that you can use to help you ensure that your heart, mind and soul each day maintain good will towards all mankind.

The first step in this meditation is to sit comfortably into your meditation position. The recommended position for this meditation is to sit on the floor with no back support or alternatively sit on a chair with no back support. Ensure when you are in the position that your back and shoulders are straight, your head is upright, eyes closed with your palms pointing up and open.

Begin the meditation session by using a basic breathing technique. Clear you mind and use the simple breathing technique to ensure that you have focus to start the next stage of the meditation session.

First in your minds eye imagine your immediate family such as your husband or wife and your children if you have them. In your mind, begin with the mantra, “May my family live in total peace and in true happiness”. Continue saying this mantra whilst you see your family in your mind. Feel the love this mantra produces for your family. Feel the happiness and peace as your family lives its life in total peace and in true happiness.

The next stage of this meditation is to now extend that mantra to those people in a wider circle such as your friends, business associates, your customers and anyone who you may have met today. Now extend your mantra and say the follow, “May the people who come in contact with me who I call my friends know the love and peace I have to share.” Feel the love and peace to be extended to these people.

For this to truly work, you must now in your meditation session see one person who may have wronged you during the day. It may have been someone who cut in front of you whilst you were driving, an angry customer or somebody who was abrupt or rude to you. You must now use the mantra, “May the person who felt it necessary to be rude, know true peace and happiness and may they learn to treat others in kind”.

If at any time during your meditation session your thoughts track to inappropriate feelings such as anger or angst towards someone, simply start the meditation session from scratch and practice the mantras till you can get to the point where you can extend the goodwill to the person that took your focus away.

It has been proven time and time again, a person who harbor grudges and hate towards others live shorter lives because the hate builds into stress that causes stress to your body and weakens it. One of the great mantras or sayings I live my life by, comes from the greatest man to have walked on this earth and he spoke these words, “Love one another as I have loved you.” We have Meditation Music available to help you with your meditation.

Dealing With Difficult People And Family Members Who Stop Communicating

Posted on by

Dealing with difficult people goes beyond working with difficult people but often means trying to handle frustrating and distressing family members. In recent consultations with clients here is an example of a typical experience when dealing with difficult people who are family members.

AN EXAMPLE OF FAMILY MEMBER CONFLICT

Here’s what one client explained. I thank you for your suggestions on coping with difficult people. But what I’ve seen is that in dealing with difficult people at work it’s simple as compared to family members. I’ve changed the way I am communicating with family members and they are being very stubborn trying to keeps everything the same.

CHANGING THE COMMUNICATION RULES WITH OTHERS

When I started setting limits, setting boundaries and speaking out about how I truly feel there was a backlash. As other family members have continued to try and stick their nose into my personal space I have been very strong to keep reminding them about my personal boundaries. However, a close family member has stopped talking to me altogether and cut off all communication.

DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE AND NOTHING NEW

This response from other people is nothing new. This occurs when dealing with difficult people at work and personal experience. When you alter your communication patterns with someone, their first response is to keep working harder to keep the communication the same. When you still persist to change your communication, they often respond by cutting off their communication.

FAMILY SYSTEMS AND COPING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE

Dealing with difficult people who are family members is often much more complex than dealing with difficult people at work. This is because family members often know the behavior of each other so well. There have been years and years of dysfunctional communication patterns happening in the family system. When one family member attempts to change the way they communicate, the reaction of others is way over the top. Family members often react with a greater degree of resistance to these long held communication patterns. Going to extremes of becoming even more negative in their communication or refusing to communicate.

COMMUNICATION HAS STOPPED – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

There’s many ways to handle things when a member of the family cuts off communication with you. But the most vital point for you to remember in dealing with difficult people in any situation is this.

YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANOTHER PERSON

Here it is. In the end other people must take responsibility. You can attempt to work through the issues with them. But ultimately, it’s their decision whether or not they cut off all communication with you.

DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE AND LETTING GO

You have to be aware that no matter how you attempt to handle the situation, sometimes family members decide to ‘cut all ties’ and no longer communicate with you. You need to recognize that in the end it is their decision to behave in this way. You have to actually respect their decision and let go in dealing with difficult people. Let go, give them the space they have demanded and get on with living your life.

DEALING WITH PEOPLE FINDING MORE IDEAS

In further articles we’ll look at other methods of dealing with people who cut of communication with you. But now stop the guilt. Remember that the decisions adults make are their own choices. Dealing with difficult people in the family means understanding, as you do in dealing with difficult people at work, that everybody makes their own decisions about their lives.

Five Ways a Healthcare Professional Can Overcome a Career Disappointment!

Posted on by

What is your first response to being overlooked for a promotion or interviewing for your dream healthcare position and not getting it? Do you feel sad, angry or distressed? Does it produce a blow to yourself-esteem or do you view it as a reflection that somehow you are not good enough as a professional nurse/healthcare worker?

Five Techniques/Strategies that can help you cope with a career disappointment.

1.If a career setback creates more than a minimal impact on you personally, you might want to take some time for self-care in order to recuperate emotionally. Sometimes all it might take is a rejuvenating weekend with family or friends if you feel they will be supportive. I have a saying about personal relationships: -There is nothing better than a good relationship, but also nothing worse than a bad one-. If you anticipate you might be criticized or put down by certain family members/friends, it might be wise to avoid talking about the issue with them. You don’t need another assault on your self-worth!

2.Other people who may support you emotionally could be members of positive groups, such as those of a supportive church. (I call them my church family). Turning to a spiritual support system or other social group where you feel your self-worth is -fed- can be helpful for some. You might not want to get too specific about the details if you live and work in the same area as some of your group members may know some of the people at your place of employment or a potential employer, but you can ask in general for support due to a personal setback, etc. If you don’t have any of the above positive support systems available, you might consider also working briefly with a good life, career or wellness coach.

3.Sometimes just taking time for self-reflection can help you recover emotionally more quickly. Using a journal can be helpful to sort out your feelings, and can also be healing. I use a simple composition notebook, but some people like a fancy, personalized one. If you live with someone else, even a spouse, you may want to keep your journaling private. There are journals available with locks. I tend to ask myself (my subconscious) questions, such as how I feel about the career disappointment to help me focus. Then I free write the answer. Other people take time early in the morning when they first get up or just before bed to write anything that comes to mind.

4.Another effective technique for some people is just to spend some time communing with nature and/or their concept of something more powerful than themselves. Twelve step members call this their -Higher Power-, while others may use the term -God-. Remembering who we are in our essence may help some with a more spiritual background to deal with a career setback.

5.Taking care of yourself physically can also help you heal. If you tend to eat a lot of sweets for example when you feel stressed, you might want to try a piece of sweet fruit to help satisfy the craving and drink more water which helps to fill you up and also eliminate toxins. In addition, walking more or other gentle aerobic exercise can help release endorphins that can increase an overall feeling of wellbeing.

Whatever way you may choose to heal from the emotional impact of a healthcare career disappointment, viewing it as a -setback- rather than a personal -failure- may help you recover more quickly.

Disappointment is natural in a healthcare professional career, how we respond to it is what matters!
