updated on

One of the major reasons for unhappiness is the decline in our interpersonal relationships.​We feel hurt several times daily by the doings and undoings of people we love and care about, and even people who barely know us. It could be stressful dealing with people sometimes because we are social beings and like it or not, we desire to be loved and respected. The purpose of my letter today is to remind you that we cannot let the behavior of people draw us into our shells and prevent us from living and loving to the fullest. I have come to …

Could Your Kindness Be Making You Sick? The Power of Setting Boundaries.

updated on

Is Kindness Making You Sick? There is ongoing Harvard research that links emotional repression, not being assertive, and an inability to say “No” to major causes of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. In other words, “KINDNESS MIGHT BE MAKING YOU SICK”. According to renowned Dr. and author Dr. Gabor Maté, the body operates such that if we suppress our anger, it can quickly become chronic for our bodies. It is therefore advised to practice healthy anger. An example of healthy anger is when someone encroaches on your space, and you assertively say, “Please leave,” instead of going into a rage. …

Read this if fear is standing in your way of greatness.

updated on

On today’s newsletter, I will write about the grey-old monster in our way—FEAR. I could write a million newsletters about fear—how it diminishes us and how we can eliminate it from our lives. I am passionate about this topic because living a fear-free life is Happiness 101. Fear is dangerous. Living in fear is like being trapped in a prison, while living without fear allows you to pursue your dreams, have fewer regrets, and ultimately live the life of your dreams. Everything we want is on the other side of fear. Unknown I want to share two ways you can …

Today, in the RFB Newsletter, I will share with you one quote that I wish someone had told me throughout my life each time I got stuck, confused, struggling, or anything of the like.

updated on

This week, I will be writing about the importance of planning your exit when you get stuck in unpleasant situations. Sometimes, when we find ourselves in unpleasant situations for long enough, we get ‘uncomfortably’ comfortable and blame everything else but ourselves for our woes. I believe scientists have a name for this: “learned helplessness.”And it happens even to the best of us. Now, this is my message to you today— No matter how unpleasant a situation you find yourself in, know that you can always have an exit plan. Sometimes, you can execute your plan by writing a resignation letter to your boss and returning …

This week, I will be discussing one of the single most important tool we can incorporate in our lives to prepare and shield us from for life’s challenges. Unfortunately, with life comes many unpleasant experiences and people—in our families, communities, places of work, and the likes. There is the narcissistic spouse, the unpleasant boss, and that insufferable friend—just name it. It is just part of life and we can’t wish it away.

This Will Give You More Happy Days

updated on

One secret to happiness I have discovered is simply focusing on what you can control and ignoring everything else. To be much happier, you can go a step further and focus on the things you can act on right now, rather than stressing about the future. Think about it—the present is the only real thing we have and can make an impact on. The past? Well, it is gone, and unfortunately, technology doesn’t allow us to go back in time. The future? Well, it is totally non-existent except in our minds. Yes! Everything we are terrified about in our future, …

This is how to be at Peace Amid Life’s Battle

updated on

Beware of that dishonest little voice in your head that causes fear, anxiety, and anger, and stands in the way of you being truly happy and at peace. The voice in our head can turn even the most harmless event in our lives into one that causes us stress. When an event is slightly bad, this voice amplifies it. Take for example, someone was rude to you, and you felt bad at the moment. Instead of making a harmless deduction like saying, ‘Maybe this person was in a bad mood, and it has nothing to do with me’ this little …
