10 Weight Loss Tips to Make Things Easier (and Faster)

1. Eat a high-protein breakfast. Eating a high-protein breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day
2. Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice. These are the most fattening things you can put into your body, and avoiding them can help you lose weight
3. Drink water a half hour before meals. One study showed that drinking water a half hour before meals increased weight loss by 44% over 3 months
4. Choose weight loss-friendly foods .Certain foods are very useful for losing fat. Here is a list of the 20 most weight loss-friendly foods on earth.
5. Eat soluble fiber. Studies show that soluble fibers may reduce fat, especially in the belly area.
6.  Drink coffee or tea. If you’re a coffee or a tea drinker, then drink as much as you want as the caffeine in them can boost your metabolism by 3-11%
7. Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods. Base most of your diet on whole foods. They are healthier, more filling and much less likely to cause overeating.
8. Eat your food slowly. Fast eaters gain more weight over time. Eating slowly makes you feel fuller and boosts weight-reducing hormones .
9. Use smaller plates. Studies show that people automatically eat less when they use smaller plates. Strange, but it works
10. Get a good night’s sleep, every night. Poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for weight gain, so taking care of your sleep is important.

Why You Should Eat a Healthy Breakfast?

I would like to post on health which is most important of our life and let’s start with breakfast

During a busy morning, it's easy to let breakfast fall low in your list of priorities, but taking just a few minutes to have something to eat can really make a difference to your day. If you don't have time to eat before leaving the house, we have lots of breakfast ideas that can be eaten on-the-go or when you get to work.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, so it is commonly said, but often due to lack of time this meal is often skipped or simply forgotten. Without this important meal our body is not energized, we start feeling stressed, tired and our muscles get fatigued. Many people do not eat enough protein, but often to compensate for feeling tired eat unhealthy snacks and consume protein which is too rich in fat. So why risk feeling drained and lifeless at work, in school or even at home?

 

The food we eat in the morning will stimulate and strengthen our bodies and minds throughout the entire day.

Why You Should Eat a Healthy Breakfast?

• Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients that lead to increased concentration in the classroom.
• Studies show that breakfast can be important in maintaining a healthy body weight.
• Hunger sets in long before it's time for lunch, but because it's not convenient to eat properly, many people who have not eaten breakfast snack on foods that are high in fat and sugar.
• People who skip breakfast are unlikely to make up their daily requirement for some vitamins and minerals that a simple breakfast would have provided.
• Breakfast provides energy for the activities during the morning and helps to prevent that mid-morning slump.

Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, helping you burn calories throughout the day. It also gives you the energy you need to get things done and helps you focus at work or at school. Those are just a few reasons why it’s the most important meal of the day.

Many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health, including better memory and concentration, lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, and lower chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, and being overweight.

It’s hard to know, though, if breakfast causes these healthy habits or if people who eat it have healthier lifestyles. 

TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

 I recently read a string of articles discussing various reasons to leave IT — and various alternative careers for dissatisfied IT workers.

I received an amazing amount of info from my reading & I wanted to express similar sentiments. But that leaves out a huge swath of people: those who desperately want a career in IT, as well as those who are caught somewhere in Limbo, trying to answer questions regarding their ability to remain in their chosen field.

So I thought I would go about this topic from another angle to help those people decide whether they're made up of the stuff necessary for a career in IT. I'm fairly confident everyone agrees it's a tough field. What everyone may not agree on is what it takes to be a successful IT worker

Let's see if this list of 6 things fits your qualifications. With all those qualities intact, you are sure to enjoy a long, successful career in the IT field.

Skills

This one should go without saying — but I must mention it.

Persistence 

The IT industry is an ever-changing landscape, and every day a new problem makes itself known.

Patience

Users and clients are endlessly frustrating. If you have little or no patience, those people will quickly drive you out of the field. And if they don't completely drive you away, they will at least drive away your joy for the human race. Without patience, you won't stand a chance in the IT field. But it's not only because of the people. Systems will test your patience as well.

Connections

This might seem a bit strange, but as a member of the IT field (especially if you're looking for career growth), you have to have many profession connections. This means social networking

The desire to learn

As I mentioned earlier, IT is an ever-changing industry. The minute a technology is released, it is out of date. So anyone wanting to tackle a career in IT must have a strong desire to learn. 

 Be Passionate

If you are passionate, you will feel the need for excelling at your work

Welcome -From Geetha Darshan

"Welcome,"My dear Arjuna, welcome "

"I am happy you have chosen to listen/read to me. This itself is a turning point in your life. Hereafter you find everywhere and in everything a divine purpose. Nothing is unholy. Nothing is ugly. Nothing is fearful. Everybody is indeed divine. If you are weak, you feel miserable. If you are afraid, everything will frighten you. If you try to run away, you will have to be running away always from pillar to post, from post to pillar. Face; face everything and everybody with strength, with courage, with conviction. Be bold and be fearless."

" why do you try to run away from the battles of life, problems of life? They are unavoidable and the truth is they alone make life. It is pleasure to face them, it is pleasure to fight them, it is pleasure to solve them, it is pleasure to witness them. It is pleasure to play the game of life — its ups and downs."

 Arjuna is a Pandava skilled in archery. He is all enthusiasm to kill the enemies, to remove the hurdles, to solve the problems. But unfortunately on the battlefield, like in the examination hall, at the threshold of life, he suddenly became weak and feeble, feverish and despondent. He did not want to fight. He wanted to avoid the battle. He appeared to be an escapist in the name of kindness and concern for others. So, Sri Krishna asks him to be strong and bold and face the life.

All the Upanishads are the cows, the son of the cowherd is the milker, Partha is the calf, men of purified intellect are the drinkers and the supreme nectar Gita is the milk.

Sri Krishna is Parthasarathi (the charioteer) to guide Partha or Arjuna. He is the guide to the whole mankind. His guidance is godly and it is in the form of Gita, Bhagvadgita. It is the essence of all Upanishads which are like the cow. And its milk is the Gita. Sri Krishna gives that milk to the calf- like Arjuna. Let us enjoy that nectar to become successful always, to see success in failures as well, to play the game of life peacefully and to enjoy it always not only as a part of it but as a master of it. Let us be the spectators of the game while playing it skilfully, with strength and courage.

This Bhagavadgita is a part of the epic Mahabharata the author of which is Sage Vyasa. Lord Vinanyaka took it down while the sage was dictating it and made it eternal for the benefit of humanity.

Arjuna submits himself to Sri Krishna as a disciple. And Sri Krishna sings the song celestial, the Bhagvadgita to dispel everybody's ignorance, to enlighten all.

Admirable Personalities - VivekAnanda(Discrimination->Happiness) is One we can think frist ......

Hi,

Everything which I am providing here is available in web, but I would like to present the life of Great people which Ignites our life. I believe no one is 100% ideal. But we should find +ve things which makes our life more positive.

In 1897 Swami Vivekananda arrived in America as an anonymous and penniless sannyasin (wandering monk). He had travelled to America as a representative of Hinduism

and the ancient Indian tradition of Vedanta. Yet Vivekananda was not bound by any formal ties of religion. To the World Parliament of Religions he offered a message of a shared spirituality and the harmony of world religions. This universal message and his dynamic spiritual personality won the hearts and minds of many seekers; and his vision is still treasured today.

“Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.”








Early Life of Vivekananda


From an early age he began to have spiritual experiences and at the age of 18 felt an overwhelming desire to “See God”. With a directness that was typical of Vivekananda he asked those around whether they had seen God. All affirmed in the negative. This included the great Devendranath Tagore (father of Rabindranath Tagore) However Devendranath told Vivekananda that he saw in him the eyes of a Yogi and surely he would realise God in this lifetime. Although none could satisfy his question, he came to hear of the name Ramakrishna Paramhansa who was reputed to be a great Spiritual Personality and had realised God.

Ramakrishna instantly recognized the spiritual potential of Vivekananda and lavished attention on Vivekananda, who at first did not always appreciate this. In the beginning the reasoning mind of Vivekananda was sceptical of this God intoxicated Saint and Vivekananda would frequently question and debate his teachings. However, slowly the spiritual magnetism of Sri Ramakrishna melted Vivekananda’s heart and he began to experience the real spirituality that Ramakrishna exuded. Thus Vivekananda mental opposition faded away to be replaced by an intense surrender to the Divine Mother and a burning longing for realization.





For a short but intense period of about 5 years, Vivekananda learnt directly from his Master Sri Ramakrishna. Sri Ramakrishna was able to awaken the dormant spiritual consciousness in his beloved disciple and Vivekananda

Vivekananda felt that the highest ideal was to serve God through serving humanity. Thus Vivekananda would later add social work as an important element of the Ramakrishna order. Thus after spending a few years in meditation Vivekananda became restless and began travelling throughout India, visiting many of the holy sites. After travelling through India and coming into contact with many influential figures, it was suggested that Vivekananda would make an ideal candidate to represent Hinduism at the World Parliament of Religions which was shortly to be held in Chicago, USA. Before leaving Vivekananda went to receive the blessings of Sarada Devi, the wife of Sri Ramakrishna. After receiving her encouragement and blessings he made the momentous journey to America dressed in his ochre robe and maintaining the vows of a Sanyasin.



Vivekananda – World Parliament of Religions.

Vivekananda at the Parliament of World Religions

At the opening ceremony Vivekananda was one of the last speakers to speak. The previous speakers had talked about the merits of their own religion but Vivekananda appealed to the whole audience with his vision of oneness and equality before God

His opening words began with.

“Brother and Sisters of America.” … Spontaneously the audience rose to its feet to applaud, perhaps appreciating the visionary sentiments Vivekananda offered.

Swami Vivekananda was chosen to represent Hinduism. However Swami Vivekananda did not try in any way to prove the superiority of his religion. Instead Vivekananda spoke with great sincerity about the harmony of world religions and the common spirituality of humanity. It was this universal message of oneness which captivated the audience.

The New York Herald said of Vivekananda.

“He is undoubtedly the greatest figure in the Parliament of Religions. After hearing him we feel how foolish it is to send missionaries to this learned nation.”

The Boston Evening Post said.

“If he (Vivekananda) merely crosses the platform he is applauded; and this marked approval of thousands he accepts in a childlike spirit of gratification without a trace of conceit…”

Throughout the conference Vivekananda was undoubtedly the star, the organizers would save Vivekananda to the end to make sure the audience would stay to listen.

He was able to start small centers in both the US and Great Britain. Vivekananda admitted he entered Britain with deep misgivings since his heart rebelled at the effects of the British Empire on his beloved motherland. However he was delighted to find some individuals who were sincerely attracted to the teachings of Vedanta. One notable example was Miss Margaret Noble (later named Nivedita), originally from Ireland, Nivedita was to became a devoted disciple who would dedicate her life to the Indian people)

After several years in the West, Vivekananda returned to India where he was met with a rapturous reception.

Vivekananda passed away at the young age of 39 but he achieved a remarkable amount in this short time on earth. He combined the ancient spiritual traditions of India with the dynamism of the West. Many Indian politicians would later offer their gratitude to the impact and ideals of Vivekananda. To many Vivekananda is regarded as the patron saint of modern India.

I don‘t have much words to write On Swamiji, As our Great Men says



" I cannot write about Vivekananda without going into raptures. Few indeed could comprehend or fathom him - even among those who had the privilege of becoming intimate with him. His personality was rich, profound and complex and it was this personality - as distinct from his teachings and writings - which accounts for the wonderful influence he has exerted on his countrymen. This is the type of manhood which appeals to the Indians as probably none other. Reckless in his sacrifice, unceasing in his activity, boundless in his love, profound and versatile in his wisdom, exuberant in his emotions, merciless in his attacks but yet simple as a child - he was a rare personality in this world of ours…. "

--- Neethaji said (Subash Chandra Bose) ..



- "Just as the sun dispels darkness,

just as Lord Vishnu destroys the wicked,

so his enchanting personality

destroys the threefold misery of man."

-- Swami Ramakrishnananda (a brother disciple of Swami Vivekananda).



"I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of this book at thirty distance, without receiving a thrill through my body like an electric shock. And what shock, what transport, must have been produced when, in burning words, they issued from the lips of the hero!"

- Romain Rolland



Yet beyond mental or intellectual power lies another distinct dimension that gives extraordinary power to individuals to influence people. This can be simply stated as power of the personality.

He is not a form; he is a voice …..so Sayings of Swami Vivekananda

• For my own part I will be incarnated two hundred times, if that is necessary to do what I have undertaken amongst my people.


• My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and that is to preach unto mankind their divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.

• Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in man.


• The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. To be good and do good - that is the whole of religion.

Man is higher than all animals, than all angels; none is greater than man.

• One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and Look at the wall. Did the wall ever tell a lie? It is always the wall. Man tells a lie and becomes a god, too. After so much austerity, I have understood this as the real truth - God is present in every jiva; there is no other God besides that. 'Who serves jiva, serves God indeed.'

• Cut out the word help from your mind. You cannot help; it is blasphemy! You worship. When you give a morsel of food to a dog, you worship the dog as God. He is all, and is in all.

• With five hundred men, ... the conquest of India might take fifty years: with as many women, not more than a few weeks..

• We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas, nor the Bible, nor the Koran; yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas, the Bible, and the Koran.

• Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is Oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits him best.

• Who will give the world light? Sacrifice in the past has been the Law, it will be, alas, for ages to come. The earth's bravest and best will have to sacrifice themselves for the good of many, for the welfare of all.


• Truth, purity, and unselfishness - whenever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.



• All expansion is life, all contraction is death.



• All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.



• Good motives, sincerity, and infinite love can conquer the world. One single soul possessed of these virtues can destroy the dark designs of millions of hypocrites and brutes.

• Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Happy Diwali - The Festival of Light

Happy Diwali 

Diwali is one of the biggest festival of Indians, celebrated with great enthusiasm and happiness in India. The festival is celebrated for five continuous days, where the third days is celebrated as the main Diwali festival or 'Festival of lights'.

The festival of lights, Diwali, is arguably India’s biggest religious celebration. The Sanskrit word for it, Deepavali, translates into ‘row of lights’. Light symbolizes hope. Homes, institutions and entire neighborhoods are decorated with candles, earthen lamps and fairy lights on this auspicious moonless night. This is the one unifying facet of Diwali across regions. 

Diwali has come to be associated with weeks of card parties that culminate in a grand evening of fire crackers, on the main day of the festival.  Different regions of India have diverse ways of commemorating this day. Get-together are secondary to more ritualistic practices that vary from culture to culture.

Thus fireworks, feasts and festivities are meant to fulfill this desire. There is a lot of emphasis on buying items and gifting. Shop owners treat customers like gods and specially decorate marketplaces to welcome buyers.

Fire crackers are burst to welcome the goddess who is an embodiment of a dark and dynamic feminine force.

Indians around the world observe Diwali , a five-day celebration of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance

 

Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached

Arise, Awake, And Stop Not Till The Goal Is Reached

Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached is one of the most popular quotations of Swami Vivekananda.

I would like to start my blogging after 4 years with again with great sayings   of Swami which makes me arise now ... 

- Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. You are all the world. Who can help you?

Arise, awake; wake up yourselves, and awaken others. Achieve the consummation of human life before you pass off — "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached

In one of book I have red in past from RK Match explained that these are same words that Lord Krishna said to Arjuna in Geetha.

There is an infinite energy we get when read on Swami quotations and books and listen speeches from any great person who talks about Swami.

Life is Beautiful when we stay connected

Interesting Story 😃 for SMART GOAL and Dreams.

A Father is flying a kite. His son is watching him carefully. 

After some time son says "Dad. Because of the string the kite is not able to go further higher."

Hearing this, the father smiles and breaks the string. 

The kite goes higher after breaking and then shortly after that it comes and falls on the ground. 

The child is very dejected and sad. Then the father sits next to him and calmly explains:

"Son, in life we reach a certain level of prosperity and then we feel that there are certain things in our life that are not letting us grow any further……… like Home, Family, Culture, Friendship etc. 

We feel we want to be free from those strings which we believe are stopping us from going higher."

But, remember son. Going higher is easier than staying higher…… Never ever forget that friends, family and culture etc are the Strings that will help us stay stable at the high we have achieved. If we try to break away from those strings our situation will be of this kite."

Life is Beautiful when we stay connected.

Thoughts on How Blogging Impacts Life and Why I'm Posting !! - Answers to myself and my readers

Welcome! Thanks so much for visiting!

Hello, Naresh here, just wanted to introduce myself.

I am currently not the person to inspire or motivate all with my work as I am just normal like you, however I still want to share my knowledge. I must say that I do miss it, and maybe I will get back into it someday…fingers crossed.

Today I am going to talk about Inspiration and in particular my strategies for getting Inspiration for Blog Posts.

Over the course of my life, I’ve embraced a number of different hobbies like reading of books, watching movies, speeches, debates, playing and working on different tasks and of course eating lot of food 

More importantly, I learned so much from reading blogs and forums and I started again posting on blogs after 5 years  where I got busy in profession and personal growth  and I missed feed my brain with positive ideas and reflect same on blog...so here I started and few ..

I used to read mostly on personality development and inspirational words, most of them have changed my life or brought me as much satisfaction as with my GOAL.However, still I am missing purpose of my life and high goals recent days which I am lacking of feed (reading) my brain with positive thoughts .I have decided to prepare notes for myself but inform of blogs then I can read myself and also it might help other human being who loves my post and also it encourages my confidence.

  In almost too many ways to count, it has changed me and the way I live my life.

Writing a blog is a long, difficult process that can be both exhilarating and frustrating. You may learn how to outline, how to make a writing to do list, or how to compose great, but daily discouragement can be tough to battle throughout the process. The Year 2015 is ending and i believe it's not late start one of my resolutions of 2015 

Of course I have read few motivational saying of great people to continue whatever I can start with small and go ahead with new post either it is worth to many or not but I learnt to enjoy the blogging .

Few sayings that inspired me are

“One thing that helps is to give myself permission to write badly. I tell myself that I’m going to do my five or 10 pages no matter what, and that I can always tear them up the following morning if I want. I’ll have lost nothing—writing and tearing up five pages would leave me no further behind than if I took the day off.” - Lawrence Block 

“Plot is people. Human emotions and desires founded on the realities of life, working at cross purposes, getting hotter and fiercer as they strike against each other until finally there’s an explosion—that’s Plot.” —Leigh Brackett

Loving your subject, you will write about it with the spontaneity and enthusiasm that will transmit itself to your reader. Loving your reader, you will respect him and want to please him. You will not write down to him. You will take infinite pains with your work. You will write well. And if you write well, you will get published.” —Lee Wyndham,

“It’s like making a movie: All sorts of accidental things will happen after you’ve set up the cameras. So you get lucky. Something will happen at the edge of the set and perhaps you start to go with that; you get some footage of that. You come into it accidentally. You set the story in motion and as you’re watching this thing begin, all these opportunities will show up.

In fact, so much so, it has become a hobby I regularly recommend to others. I started blogging as a personal tool to journal the changes we were making as we began minimizing our possessions.

But somewhere along the line, it became less about me writing the story and more about the story changing me.

10 Thoughts on How Blogging Impacts Life

1. You’ll become a better writer.  It’ll serve as a personal journal
2. You’ll become a better thinker
3. You’ll inspire others
4. You’ll live a more intentional life
5. You’ll develop an eye for meaningful things
6. It’ll lead to healthier life habits,
7. You’ll make some money ( don’t target for it – it should be one motivation factor but not main goal)
8. You’ll become better-rounded in your mindset
9. You’ll become more confident
10. It’s quite a rush with every positive comment

Also, I got to share stories about my life, and that made the interaction more genuine. Ultimately, it made the interaction more about understanding what my minds thinks after reading and what I understood.

I put a lot of my soul into my blog, and I'm always hoping to affect you...but it's been a long time since I've sat and really let you affect me in return.

 I hope you enjoy reading what I write. Please leave a comment if you like

Thanks for Reading My Blog!
