PROFESSIONALISM AND SPIRITUALITY!!!

What you are inside always reflects outside. Chaos in your inside is bound to surface on your face and in your behavior which is constantly being observed by people at your workplace who form opinions about your competence, character, and commitment. But how you want them to perceive you may be different from how they actually perceive you. So how do improve this perception?

Study of the lives of successful men and women point at two important characteristics, common to most of them:
1) An abundance of energy, a spark that never dies, an urge to do more, specifically in the domain in which they have achieved success, and
2) A greater-than-usual degree of awareness

We provide you with tips and tricks for garnering these two characteristics. Here are a few practices that will help you in the endeavor:

1. Still your mind through meditation
It is believed that stillness of the mind or meditation can recharge minds fatigued by thinking about ways to win the consumer. So slow down the thinking speed of your mind, focus on any one object and let your brain blank out for a while. Meditate. When you return to the world, you will feel more empowered and ready to face professional challenges.

2. Exercise regularly
Exercising regularly and sincerely with deep attention is essential. Physical exercise will not only help to keep the body fit, but will also enliven the mind. This enlivened mind concentrates better and this liveliness reflects in your gestures, postures and even the way you look.

3. The deep breathing trick
Deep breathing is an easy stress reliever that has numerous benefits for the body, including oxygenating the blood, which ‘wakes up’ the brain, relaxes the muscles and silences the conflicting mind. Take off your shoes and preferably lie down and breathe. While you breathe try to concentrate on nothing by utilizing controlled breathing as the center of focus. Take long, slow breaths, and listen to the sound of inhaling and exhaling. During the inhalation phase, first pull your abdomen out and next expand you chest. Try to think of nothing but the act of breathing. You will be amazed at how much our minds are addicted to wanderlust and how much they resist being tamed. Indulge in deep breathing exercises several times a day. Repeat this exercise six or twelve times in succession in a day. You will feel your mind getting de-stressed and a smile automatically gliding on to your face.

4. Relax your mind and body so that you don’t act impulsive at work
Most problems happen when one becomes impulsive and thus looses focus. For instance, if you are doing a particular work and someone calls on you or comes up to you for a different task, do not jump at the new project immediately. Slow down. Complete the work in hand first before you take up the new task. Your original plan for the day is more important. In fact, you should keep track of what you have planned for the day on a hourly basis. To help you keep your mind and body relaxed, indulge in progressive muscle relaxation. Along with each inhalation tighten one part of your body as much as you can. With each exhalation, relax that part of the body. Start with your toes and feet, then your legs, then trunk, then hands, then arms, then neck, and finally face. After relaxing the entire body as above, do it again. This will help you recognize and relax tight muscles.

5. Get a massage
Sense of touch, which is widely neglected is closely linked to the mind and is vital to your sense of well being. It improves circulation, reduces muscle pain and spasms and eases tension. So get a friend or a professional to give you a massage as you let your mind concentrate on the sound of music.

6. Bask in the glory of music
Concentrate on the beats of the music. Let your soul get lost in the pulsating rhythm. Choose any genre of music that helps you relax. Even after the music stops, keep lying in bed and bask in the silence for about 5-10 minutes. This will give music the time to really work on your mind, body and soul.

The idea is to bring your self back to the wisdom of the body--the inner intelligence of all living things that propels them toward fulfillment without struggle or compulsiveness. Indulge in these practices to feel unison in your body and mind. Feel enriched, empowered and energetic. This will automatically reflect in your poise, deeds and personality

WY SHOULD I QUESTION MY IDEALS FREQUENTLY TO IMPROVE MY LIFE?

When we find ourselves entangled in the middle of demanding people and relationships, we often turn inwards and question the first thing we base most of our lives on -- our ideals. Isn’t it funny how things on the outside drive us to look inwards? Most of the times, we pursue things without taking a good, hard look at them. We fail to evaluate the ways in which they could affect us.
Especially in times of in conflict, analyse things keeping in mind the ideals you’d previously set for yourself. This will put forth a much clearer perspective in terms of whether the conflict you’re about to engage yourself in is really worth it or not! And whether the place that it will lead you to is really the place you want to be at.

The underlying idea of the ephemeral nature of our ideals can be explained really simply using a rather literal analogy. Remember the time in college when you finally ran out of clean t-shirts? The only thing left to do then was to choose the less ‘smelly’ one out of the ones that were used. At the time, you managed with whatever there was. But if given the chance, you’d never like to be in the same place again, wearing smelly clothes day after day.

What this implies is that human standards generally get lowered when faced with necessity. And more than half of the times that this happens, we fail to notice it! We assume that certain things are a must and run after them, forgetting everything else we’d previously decided for ourselves. Often, the pleasure that we seek is largely temporary and tends to dissipate within a short period of time.

The primary thing to do is to realise that our ideals are very relative and tend to shift easily. We compromise on them and later regret our decisions. Learn to question yourself about the decisions you take. In how many ways would they affect you? Where will you be once you go through with your decision? Is all this where you’d ideally like to be? If not, then don’t go through with it.

Question and re-question yourself and your actions and compare them to your ‘ideal’ world. Likewise, any decisions that prevent you from reaching there shouldn’t be opted for. It is undoubtedly the best and the fastest path of getting to where you really want to be!

SPIRITUAL SOLACE AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT?

How many times have you thought to yourself, "I just have to be Ok with it!"? Chances are that you're probably feeling exactly like this about something, this very instant.

Surrender, in common parlance, refers to the act of giving in, often forcefully or with a certain level of dissatisfaction, against one's will. This seed of dissatisfaction that stems from the inability to give in without a fight then tends to snowball into something much bigger, thus taking up a lot of our time and not to forget, our peace of mind.

So can you actually ‘Surrender'?
Start by understanding that Surrender is not an act, it's an attitude that you build over a span of time by incorporating certain simple values in day to day living.

Yes, surrendering is important, but you must surrender only to break free and to liberate yourself, not to give or accept defeat. Here are a few tips to help you surrender better:

1. When you wake up every morning, sit still with your eyes closed for a while. Forget about everything else in the world. This time is purely for some self-indulgence, to recollect, learn and rejuvenate.

2. Sit with an attitude of complete acceptance. Know that whatever has and will come your way is just a mere lesson in learning. It is through an adoption of this mindset you will learn that there is nothing you cannot handle. The minute you fear, loathe or have a strong opinion about something, you allow it to control you.

3. Some people often imagine themselves soaring high with complete abandon or think about activities that make them feel completely liberated. A common thought is that of soaring far and wide in the endless sky without strings attached (that represents everything that holds you back.)

4. Whatever negative feelings and thoughts may arise, simply accept them, realise they're there and move on. The lesser the attention you pay to them, the lesser they will affect you. Repeat the same cycle at night focussing on your entire day. It'll help you feel calm and relaxed and also aid in a peaceful night's rest.

The magic of Surrender lies in comprehending that true Surrender doesn't just pacify you; it leaves you unshakable and feeling fabulously free. Go ahead. Try it!

MUST KNOWS FOR CAMPUS PLACEMENT INTERVIEWS

Campus placement interviews are the key to getting your career started on the right foot. The secret lies in giving out the right vibes and saying the right things at the right time.

Display a learner's attitude: The 'I know it all' attitude is not going to impress any employer. Considering campus interviewees are freshers, employers will be more impressed by hearing something like, "I know the basics and I am willing to learn the rest". Show that you will mould yourself to their company and not vice versa.

Don't be full of yourself: Arrogance and narcissism have no place in a campus placement interview. Do not brag about your qualities but rather subtly display them before the placement jury in the way you respond to their queries.

Do your homework: Knowing about the company's history and key achievements shows your interviewer just how much effort you are willing to put in. Read up about your prospective employer/s on their website and keep yourself updated on any new developments there.

Be articulate and confident: Speaking too much won't make a good impression, but neither will not speaking enough. The trick lies in answering the questions articulately, clearly, providing only as much information as needed, with oodles of confidence.

Dress appropriately: Whimsical fashion statements have no place at a corporate interview while you may be more creative in your attire (though still on the conservative side) if applying for a job in a creative field. Girls must absolutely stay away from skimpy clothes. Keep the overall look elegant and dripping of professionalism.

BE A CLASSROOM STAR

There will always be that one student in class who’s getting the best grades, winning the sports trophy and the elocution competition every year, and whose name is always on every teachers tongue.

Here is how you could become that student:

1. Get over your fear
What is it that you fear? Is it looking silly in front of your classmates or your teachers? Or about blurting out the wrong answer? Remember that anyone could be in your position and that everyone in your classroom is there to learn- through their own mistakes, or someone else’s.

2. Find your star subject
Each one of us has personal favorites when it comes to studies; for some it may be literature while for others it could be geometry. While you will automatically tend to concentrate more on the subjects you like, make sure you work hard at the one’s you find difficult. At the same time, don’t let the strenuous hours of hard work dampen your enthusiasm. Play on your strengths and work on overcoming your weaknesses.

3. Understand that teachers don’t judge
Your teachers are there to teach you. They don’t laugh, judge, pass comments or hold grudges when you go wrong. Therefore, feel free to ask questions and clarifications if you’re confused about something. They will be more than glad to help. For all you know, you may be echoing the doubts of half your classmates.

4. Be proactive!
An important part of being a star student is that of being proactive in the class room. Take responsibility for simple things like collecting homework assignments or being the class representative. When you have a lot of responsibilities, they’ll keep you on your toes and put you on top of the teachers and students A list!

5. Give your 100%
Juggling homework, football practice, piano classes and exams can be quite demanding. Stay a step ahead of everyone else and excel at all you do by giving it your 100%. Play like it’s the last time you’ll ever kick a ball, concentrate on your studies as though there were an exam the next day. No matter what you do, do it to your full capacity and become a true all rounder.

Remember, stardom comes at a cost!

SEX APPEAL...WANNA TRY??

With the New Year just around the corner, it's time to think of new beginnings. While you can't exactly give your body a makeover in two months, there's lots you can do to maximise your great physical qualities and minimise the bad. Not only does this make you more attractive to the opposite sex, it also makes you feel good about yourself.

This is how you can maximise your best physical qualities...

1. Identify them
From a great set of teeth to a strong jaw-line and even a slim and trim body type, your best quality could be anything. Once you've identified your best physical quality, work on maximising it.

2. Cash in on your assets
Even if you are slim and trim, do some free-hand exercises at home to tone your muscles. Do away with all the loose ill-fitting clothes and wear clothes that fit well. If you've got a great set of teeth, smile! Not only will it improve your face value, you'll also appear to be a friendlier and a more likable person.

3. Fish for compliments
This may seem a tad vain, but actually it's a great way to boost your ego (in all the right ways of course). Ask close family members and friends to help you focus on your best physical qualities. And when you wear that nice body fit stretch t-shirt go right ahead and ask your best friend, “Hey, how do I look in this t-shirt?"

4. Work around your weak points
Now just because you've identified your best physical qualities, it doesn't mean you ignore the ones that are not quite the best. More often than not you'll have a couple of not-so-great qualities that you should work on for best results. If you've got a great smile, it'd probably do you good to keep your facial hair neat and trimmed. If you've got sexy eyes, how about shaping you heavy eyebrows and doing away with those glasses and wearing contact lenses? Now that's as idea!

5. Be Confident
We can't stress on this enough… confidence makes all the difference! Be who you are and people will notice you for all the right reasons. Don't try too hard and don't expect miracles overnight. Even the small changes may take a month or two to be noticed, but they will be noticed eventually
