How to Deal with Adult Bullying and Provocation using Mind Power.

Provocation:

Dealing with a mean-spirited defiant person can be weary. You know what I mean. That outright loud toxic person that just seem to want to push your buttons and provoke your rage. Whatever his/her insidious actions and motives, it should not affect you because we can't control how people act, but we have total control over how we react to them. Your time is valuable, and your happiness and well-being are important.. So do your best to keep away from a negatively entrenched person.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.-Eleanor Roosevelt"

Adult Bullies:

Adult bullies were often either bullies as children, or bullied as children. Understanding this about them may be able to help you cope with the behavior. Sadly Adult bullies don't mature, through life they become worse. Their aim is to gain power over another person and humiliate victims. All bullies have one thing in common: they want to hurt someone. Being the victim of a bully can be a devastating experience. However, When faced with a bully, your responsibility is to protect yourself from the emotional, social, or physical harm that the bully intends to cause.

To react while being provoked by a bully is a natural instinct and people tend to lose their reasoning power. Whenever you are provoked, you want to avenge yourself for being treated badly. Try not to react immediately. DO NOT let the provocation take control of your actions. YOU are in control of whatever happens next. Use your Mind Power to make a conscious effort to delay your reaction until you feel comfortable to choose the best possible way to deal with the situation. Doing this eliminates possibilities of an argument, confrontation, fight, punishment, death, malice etc....

Manifesting your Mind Power

Mind Power:

The mind is a powerful force. It can enslave us or empower us. It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy ~David Cuschieri

Personally, I have always been fascinated with the mind. Mind power is one of the strongest and most useful powers one possess, hence the reason I try to control what goes on in my mind because our thoughts manifest themselves into our reality whether they are positive or negative.

I have used Mind Power throughout my life, sometimes not even realizing it. Based on my experiences, believing in the power of the subconscious mind can light a fire under you and enable you to do things that you never consciously thought were possible.

I will explain more in my next Blog.

As I grow and develop in life, I make changes on how I respond to situations. When provoked, in order to reduce bad feelings and aggressive thoughts, I walk away from the provoker, to a quiet place, which inevitably helps me stay calm and not react. Kind of change my mindset and ultimately achieving peace of mind; 
"easier said than done?" I know, but it works for me.

• Remember: “Bullies win when you’re upset. Don't give them the satisfaction."
• Try to: "avoid loud and aggressive persons they are a vexations to the spirit" Desiderata

Engage in uplifting activities:

Most times I engage in uplifting activities like:

• Drinking tea. It is soothing and relaxing, that's why I have a cup before bed. Preferably herbal tea  from my garden.
• I enjoy blogging and writing. This changes my mindset.
• Music is life, especially listening to soothing music.
• Laughter is my medicine, so I do it often. I watch YouTube funny videos or get involved with some prank at home with my son who is mighty jovial. Just thinking of him makes me "chuckle"
• Painting is fun and helps me tap into my creativity.
• Gardening is healing to my soul, so I get lost in nature very often.
• Photography is a joy, so I take many photos, sometimes too many "giggles" 
• Cooking is a must, and the kitchen is my playground.
• Travelling and learning a new culture is my passion so I do it when possible. 
• Knowledge is power that's why I enjoy learning new things like languages.
• Sometimes I dine out, at a nice restaurant and brainstorm some new ideas while I enjoy a delicious meal. 
• I exercise 5 days a week at home. Thirty  minutes aerobics and karate. Exercise is the key to good health. Good for the body and the brain. 

What we say matters, but what we do matters most.

Meditation for peace of Mind:

Inner peace and outer peace are strongly connected, so if you are peaceful, the world will be more peaceful.

Recently, I started meditating and deep nostril breathing. I try my best to be in bed by 10 p.m. to get adequate sleep. I'm awake by 5 a.m to meditate for 15 minutes,. 

Before meditating I take slow gentle breaths to calm my mind. This helps me get in touch with depth of my self and my consciousness. Meditation is very vital, people around you will benefit because you will send positive and peaceful vibes to your surroundings.

Listen: “If you are quiet enough, you will hear the flow of the universe. You will feel its rhythm. Go with this flow. Happiness lies ahead. Meditation is key.” Buddha

Very Important: “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” Buddha

Watch your words, actions and karma

Karma: Think good thoughts, say good things, do good for others, Everything comes back. Ultimately, what we give out, we receive.

Note: "Embrace your truth and share it..cause a smile today for someone else...and give plenty of hugs."
