The Power Of Compliments | The Science Of Love
I completely agree with Mike Bernstein and Matt Pitman who are the creators of this video when they say, “ A lot of us have trouble accepting compliments. We are worried that it will make us seem self-absorbed, or we just do not believe that what the person is saying is true. But studies shown that accepting compliments does not just help you, it also helps your relationship”.

The Purpose of Yoga: Taking Control of Your Life
May 17th, 2007 By Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500
Some interns enter into Yoga instructor training as a mile stone in their training. The reason for intensive Yoga teacher training might be as simple as self-mastery. Yoga teaches us how to make life changes from within. Within all Yoga styles are the tools of self-realization and transformation. Once a Yoga practitioner has managed to empower him or herself, a positive direction will become the easiest path to follow.
Everyone is subject to outside pressures, even adults. There is always somebody who is willing to give you advice you did not ask for. When we are children, we think that outside pressure will stop, when we are “grown up;” we will be independent and in control of our lives.
As young adults, we soon find out that we have limited control of our lives, when there is always someone to answer to, in the form of a parent, college professor, supervisor, customer, drill sergeant, or someone else. In fact, we have limited control over life because we do not control nature.
How can Yoga instructor training empower you to take control of your life?
How can you stop others from attempting to control your life?
Let’s look at how Yoga training can help you to create your own manifestations and change your destiny for the best.
Do you ever have a co-worker who enjoys making others feel inferior? Consider this: We have to give permission to those who insult us, in order for them to make us feel less worthy. Without our permission, they hold no power over us.
If you believe that your existence is a problem, mistake, or error, then you really do have troubles. Self-doubt leads to self-defeat. Yet, all is not lost – because, in this case, the trouble can be found and purged from within you.
The solution to this problem is also within you. Once you understand that you have to respect your own self-image at all times, you will manifest positive energy from within. You must forgive yourself for past mistakes, make positive changes, and never speak poorly of yourself. You will receive nothing by thinking less of yourself, and you will leave the door open for those who feel gratification in your unhappiness.
About people who want to control you: Remember the saying, “Just say, No.” Many people feel that life is not so simple, but “No” can be a powerful word, which prevents complications and trouble. You do not have to feel obligated to every request – just because somebody asks you.
This is not a free pass to refuse people in need, but you should use your best judgment about how you will spend your time and energy. Yogic philosophy teaches us to live in the moment, while performing acts of mindfulness, loving kindness, and forgiveness.
It is easy enough to waste time and energy, without experiencing peer pressure along the way. The correct path is universal, and your heart is your best guide.
