Why Is Money Important In Life?

I believe it is extremely important for everyone to learn how money works and how to manage and multiply it. I wish these money skills were taught to our children in schools more than they are at the moment. Most people consider it taboo to discuss money and to share their financial situation and knowledge with their children.
 
So, why should you teach your children about money? Why is money important in life?
 
Money is important in life because it is required for us to pay for our basic survival needs like food, shelter, healthcare, and education. Lack of money for these needs can lead to unhappiness, stress, worry, and inability to create a life of meaning, and impact and keep us from the fulfillment of our purpose which is why we are on this earth at this very moment.
 
So, you may be wondering, what money lessons should parent(s) be sharing with their kids before it is too late? Let’s discuss that next.

7 Money Lessons Every Parent(s) Must Teach Their Kids

Teaching our children about money is very crucial and necessary for their happiness. You have to know how to handle your money in life and it should not be deferred to someone else to do. No one else will care about it as you would. Let’s discuss seven things that you can teach your kids so they can be financially successful in life.

What Is Money

Teach them that money is a tool that helps you sustain the mission and lifestyle that you want to live. It is neutral and does not have positive or negative energy associated with it. You give it energy based on your perspectives, identity, belief, thoughts, and relationship with it.
 
In other words, if you have limiting beliefs about money and a negative relationship with it then you will attract and get negative experiences with it and if you have a positive relationship with it then you will get positive experiences with it.
 
If you are scarcity-minded and tell yourself that money does not grow on trees, it is evil, not good, and believe that all rich people are greedy then you will block yourself from being rich. Money amplifies who you are and does not change you and makes you a bad person.
 
If you have been blessed with the skills then use them and aim to make a lot of money because you can do a lot of good with it. You can give to others endlessly. It is not like giving your time which is in limited supply and there is only so much of it you can give in service to others.

How Money Works

They need to know how money works. What is debt, what different types of debt, interest, inflation, and how do credit cards work? How the banking systems and accounts work, how banks operate, and how money gets in the bank and into your account before magically coming out of the machine or debit cards.

Different Ways To Make Money

Discuss the many abundant ways to make money that we have been blessed with in today’s day and age. Going to university and getting a job is not the only way to earn money today. Help them explore ways to earn money based on their interests and passion like starting their own online business.
 
Guide them to discover their unique gifts, natural talents, skills, passion, and purpose that they can use to do work that they love, and were born to do. Encourage them to figure out what kind of lifestyle they want to live and then calculate what kind of money and work will be required to sustain that lifestyle.
 
Instead of saying we cannot afford this instead say let’s figure out ways to make money and afford it. We live in a very abundant world that we can attract and experience with the right perspective, identity, beliefs, and thoughts.

Managing Money

Teach them to be responsible with their money and learn to save and keep as much as possible. It is not complicated to learn and educate yourself on money management. You have to commit to it and believe in your abilities. It is very important to form a habit of paying yourself first when you earn the money rather than paying everybody else first and then saving the leftover.
 
You can automate and save as much as possible at a minimum of about 10- 20% of your take-home income. Create a spending plan and have a category for money going towards your fixed and variable necessities for shelter, food, etc, financial freedom to invest and grow, long-term savings, giving, and some money for fun.

Setting Financial Goals

Teach them to set desired financial goals and create a plan to achieve them. For example, one of their goals could be a big purchase that they want to make like a car. Teach them to calculate how much money they will need to buy, maintain, and insure it.
 
Create a plan to earn the money, the time frame needed, and how much to save every week, or month and possibly decide on the type of investments to make to earn interest if it is a long-term goal that is more than 3-5 years away.

Multiplying The Money

They must learn investment skills so they can multiply the money that they work for. Your money should work harder for you than you work for it. The more money you can make from your investments the more you will have to enjoy and do good with.
 
Some of the investments they can look into adding to their diversified portfolio are ETFs, index funds, dividend-paying stocks, and real estate investment properties.

Giving

Generosity is a very important value to teach your children. Help them form a habit of designating a certain percentage of their take-home pay for giving. If you have been blessed with skills and the privilege of earning lots of money then you have the responsibility to give back.
 
The more you give the more you will be trusted to enjoy and distribute to others. There is nothing wrong or greedy about earning as much as you can so that you can share and give more to others endlessly.
 
Become your creator’s trustee and direct money where it needs to go. Always remember abundance is your birthright. Money is not the root of evil it is the love or obsession with money over and above anything else that is evil. Do not sacrifice your time with family, faith, morals, and values for it.

In conclusion, you now know that money is important in life because it is required to pay for our basic survival needs like food, shelter, healthcare, education, etc. Lack of money for these needs can lead to unhappiness, stress, worry, and inability to create a life of meaning, and impact and keep you from the fulfillment of your purpose which is why you are on this earth at this very moment.
 
The 7 money lessons every parent(s) must teach their kids before it is too late are what is money, how it works, different ways to make it, manage it, how to set and achieve financial goals, giving, investing, and multiplying it.

Can Emotional Intelligence Be Developed And Improved?

Are you emotionally intelligent? In other words, how well are you able to manage your own emotions, understand and influence other people’s emotions without getting consumed or triggered by their behaviour or actions?
 
I am sure you, like others, have had moments in your life where you let your emotions get the best of you, lost control of yourself, and regretted how you reacted, and what you said and/or did out of anger. Is this type of reaction pattern something you have to live with for the rest of your life or can emotional intelligence be developed and improved?
 
Yes, emotional intelligence can be developed and improved as you go through different experiences, and challenges and learn life lessons. You are not born with a set amount of emotional intelligence which you have to live with for the rest of your life.
 
When you develop and improve your emotional intelligence, you will be able to better handle your emotions and have fewer regrettable moments of outbursts and reactions.
 
So, you may be wondering, what are some ways to improve your emotional intelligence? Let’s discuss that next.

5 Ways To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is very important in life because having a high score in the intelligence co-efficient(IQ) is not sufficient by itself. We coexist and interact with ourselves and other human beings both in our personal life and work. I don’t think success is possible without developing and improving emotional intelligence.
 
Let’s cover below five ways to improve your emotional intelligence

Practice Mindfulness Daily

Start practicing mindfulness, and meditation, spending time in silence every day, and connecting to your creator. You will be better able to hear your Soul’s whispers, and guidance(intuition) and connect to your creator.
 
You will begin to feel grounded, calm, and peaceful on the inside and will be able to live by the true qualities of your soul which are peace, love, joy, compassion, and abundance.
 
You will be able to better handle your emotions, pause, and respond when faced with challenging, situations, and circumstances rather than reacting and getting angry.

Have Self Awareness

Take some time to reflect and get to know yourself better and learn to master your own emotions. Recognize some things that people say or do that trigger you and make you angry.
 
Prepare yourself and learn to anticipate, pause, and respond when you face these possible triggers. Learn to listen to your inner guidance and gut instead of letting other people’s actions control and dictate how you react.

Always Be Empathetic

Practice compassion and empathy every day. Recognize that other people may have a completely different life perspective from you. They may be behaving in a certain way because they may be possibly going through some rough patches in life or have had a very difficult childhood.
 
Try to understand others and learn to put yourself in their shoes and have empathy towards them. Seek to understand them better by observing their body language and asking them clarifying questions instead of being triggered by them.
 
Your way of doing things is not the only way or the only right way. They may not have the capacity to do or say things in ways that you expect them to. When we expect others to behave in a certain way, it often leads to disappointment.
 
However, that does not mean you should not set boundaries around how you should be treated and who you want to have a close relationship with. People who do not make you feel good, or disrespect you do not have to stay in your life or you can reduce your contact with them.

Learn To Master Your Own Emotions

Learn to regulate, master your own emotions, and take the responsibility for your actions and reactions. Instead of reacting right away to unpleasant circumstances or situations and letting the other person’s actions dictate how you behave, take a pause and then respond.
 
Always be aware of your identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, behaviour, actions, and habits that are responsible and guide your reaction and destiny eventually. Know that you are not your thoughts, and emotions, separate yourself from them and be the observer of the same instead. You are a soul that is having a temporary life experience.

Build Your Social Skills

Work on building your social skills and learn to resolve conflicts in a better way. Show care and talk to people respectfully instead of getting angry, losing your cool, shouting, and talking down to them. Find common ground, and have patience when interacting with different people from different backgrounds.
 
Not everyone will see things your way and have your exact perspective and experience in life. It is okay for others to live life their way as long as they are not forcing you to do things that are against your ethics, morals, and your soul’s guidance. Remember everyone is on their life path.

In conclusion, you now know that emotional intelligence which is your ability to manage your own emotions and understand and influence other people’s emotions without getting consumed or triggered by their behaviour or actions can be developed and improved as you go through different experiences, challenges, and you learn life lessons.
 
You are not born with a set amount of emotional intelligence which you have to live with for the rest of your life. When you develop and improve your emotional intelligence, you will be able to better handle your emotions and have fewer regrettable moments of outbursts and reactions.
 
You also learned five ways to improve your emotional intelligence like starting a mindfulness practice, having self-awareness, being empathetic, learning to master your own emotions, and building your social skills.
 
It will serve you well to start implementing some of these ways to improve your emotional intelligence especially if you want to live your best life with all the people that you may come across in your life journey!

Why Is Immersing In Gratitude Important

One of the most life-changing, important, impactful, and cherished practices that I have incorporated into my life to do daily is taking the time to remember and/or journal about all the things that I have to be grateful for.
 
I highly recommend it and do not doubt that you will begin to see its benefits right away if you were to start practicing gratitude every single day. Why is immersing yourself in gratitude important?
 
The ability to intentionally immerse yourself in gratitude is important because it is one of the best ways to get out of any funk, rut, and feeling sad. When you start focusing on all the things that you have to be grateful for, you instantly raise your energy and start feeling better and happier.
 
So, you may be wondering next, what things should I be grateful for? Let’s discuss that next.

What Things Should I Be Grateful For

Your creator has blessed you to live on the abundant and precious earth full of gifts and therefore the list is too long for me to be able to mention within this blog post. Here are some things to get you started and I am sure you can come up with many of your own.
 
You can be grateful for the sun, mountains, trees, bodies of water, beautiful sunsets, relationships with your loved ones, things about yourself that you appreciate and like and so much more. 
 
Let’s discuss some other things below that are not as obvious and that we often forget to be grateful for.

8 Things We Often Forget To Be Grateful For

Try to remember these 8 things we often forget to be grateful for add them to your list as you learn to practice gratitude every single day. They often do not come to mind easily.

Your Soul(light)

Be grateful for your soul that has been trusted by your creator to come onto this Earth at this moment to fulfill a purpose. You are one of the soldiers of your creator’s army that is a force for good and has come here on earth to do good.  
 
It is not an accident that you are on this earth right now. The purpose of every soul that is here is to grow and then help and serve others. How you serve your calling is based on the unique gifts that you have been blessed with even though several people could be serving that same purpose, however, no one will be doing it your way.

Your Connection To Your Creator

Be grateful for your connection with your creator. Your soul is a part of your creator’s light and it is within you. You have access to your creator’s intelligence, mind, and strength and you can connect to it anytime and ask for help.
 
You are here to do your creator’s work and therefore loving guidance and support are always available to you. Take the time to stay connected, spend time in silence, listen to guidance, and meditate.

Your Mother’s Womb

Be grateful for your mother who is your second creator and her womb that carried and nourished you as you were developing and growing. It kept you safe until you were fully formed and ready to be born. 

Your Mind

Be grateful for your mind that was given to you so you can fulfill your purpose. We often let our mind become our master instead of us being the master of it. You can control your mind by watching who you identify as, your beliefs, thoughts, words you speak, your behaviour, and the actions you take which then creates your destiny. 
 
Do not let your monkey mind dictate who you become and what you do with your life. Instead of listening to your ego’s screams, learn to spend time in silence so you can hear your soul’s whispers and guidance.  

Your Body

Be grateful for your body that was given to you that is currently housing your soul. It’s perfect for the role that you are here to fulfill. It is the right size and colour. Do not give the power to someone else or society to decide what you and your body need to look like to be perfect. They do not know and understand what purpose you are here to fulfill. 

Your Organs

Be grateful for all your cells, tissues, and organs that are working harmoniously in your body for your greatest good. We often forget to be grateful for the organs that have been serving us all our lives.
 
For example, your eyes that allow you to see, your nose that enables you to smell, your ears that help you hear, your heart that is keeping you alive and has been beating since you were born and helps change your blood from unoxygenated to oxygenated.
 
Your liver that regulates your body temperature, your stomach that helps you digest your food, your intestines, your kidneys, and all the other organs that fulfill a function in your body. 

People In Your Life

Be grateful for all the people traffic in your life. All the people that came into your life in the past and have now gone away. They either passed on or you no longer talk to them.
 
This includes all the tyrants and people you didn’t like. They were in your life for a reason perhaps to teach you something. Some people stay forever and some are there for a short season and leave once their purpose has been served. 

Situations And Circumstances

Be grateful for the situations and circumstances of your life that are happening for you, not to you, even though you may not like them. You are not a victim and so you should never say “Why is this happening to me?” Everything is happening for you so you can learn the necessary lessons that you can serve others with or change the course of your life.  

Who You Are

Be grateful for who you are and who you’re becoming because you’re meant to change as you grow. Your body will also continue to transition as you live your life. Your soul is changeless. You will continue to grow and change so that you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way. 

In conclusion, you now know the ability to intentionally immerse yourself in gratitude is important because it is one of the best ways to get out of any funk, rut, and feeling sad. When you start focusing on all the things that you have to be grateful for, you instantly raise your energy and start feeling better and happier.
 
Your creator has blessed you with so many things to be grateful for like the sun, mountains, trees, bodies of water, beautiful sunsets, relationships with your loved ones, and many more. 
 
You also know about the 8 additional things that we often forget to be grateful for like your soul, connection to your creator, your mind, body, organs, all the people in your life (past and present), situations and circumstances, and who you are and becoming.

Why Is A Parent-child Relationship Important?

If you have been blessed with children you know that parenting is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences that you can ever be given. It is however not a very easy role to fulfill because none of us were ever given a manual on how to raise a perfect child.
 
You simply do your best and hope everything works out. Whether things work out is dependent on your relationship with your child. Why is a parent-child relationship important?
 
A parent-child relationship is important because your child, a soul, has come into your life for a reason and it is not an accident. Your child may have come to teach you something and help your soul grow and/or to learn and grow as a soul from your wisdom. It is a much smoother experience if you have a good parent-child relationship.
 
Always strive to intentionally and consciously have a positive relationship with your child as you perform the daily parental functions that you have been trusted with because it directly impacts their development and potential success in different areas of life as an adult.
 
You may be wondering, can you make a parent-child relationship better?

Can You Make A Parent-child Relationship Better?

Yes, it is possible to better a relationship and it is never too late. It will take some effort and work however it is worth it. Next, let’s discuss some ways to have a better relationship with your child.

How To Have A Better Relationship With Your Child

I know like myself as a parent that having the best relationship with your child is very important to you. I am sharing 7 ways below for you to be able to have a better relationship with your child.  It’s never too late to start doing these and improving your relationship with your child.

Raise Your Energy

Raise your energy by aligning to who you are, a soul with a body, and strive to live by your soul’s qualities: peace, love, joy, compassion, kindness, and abundance.
 
Spend some time in silence, meditate, and connect to your creator every day.
 
The more you change and raise your energy, the more the household energy will begin to change and affect everybody in your vicinity positively. All your relationships will begin improving automatically.

Be Self-aware

Become self-aware and figure out what triggers you when it comes to your relationship with your child. What is your identity, belief, thoughts, feeling, speech, and behaviour like just before your get triggered?
 
Remember you are both equal souls and there is a possibility that your child’s soul may be older than yours and it is here on earth to teach you something. Just because you are the parent does not mean that your perspective is always right in any situation. Be open to learning from your child too.

Love Unconditionally

Love your child unconditionally and make sure your child knows and feels that you love them unconditionally no matter what. Your child deserves to be loved unconditionally without any expectations by you just like your creator unconditionally loves you.
 
They should not have to do things your way to feel your love even if you don’t agree with the things that they’re doing. You can tell them “I don’t agree with what you’re doing because of the following reasons however that doesn’t mean I don’t love you”.
 
So many children feel that they’re not loved because of the way they are, behaving, and then they stop being authentic to who they truly are and why they’re truly here as a soul. Children come through you however they are a gift and not your property. They come through you to fulfill their God-given purpose. 

Hear Them Out

Spend some quality time with your child and take the time to hear their perspective on things instead of telling them what to do and that you are being seen and not heard. Have an open and honest conversation with them and share your experience and rationale based on lessons that you have learned in life.
 
You may not always agree with their perspective and they may not agree with yours. Let them do things their way and learn from their failures as they are not in any danger, and not hurting someone else.

Understand Them

Take the time to understand who they are, what is it that they like and dislike, their personality, unique gifts, triggers, identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviour, words, actions, and habits. Help them be self-aware because they need to know themselves so that they can live their best authentic life and serve their purpose. 

Make Them Feel Seen

Take the time to make your child feel seen. Compliment them if you like what they did or what they are wearing. You may think they know how I feel about what they did or are wearing however it’s important to tell them and make them feel seen. Never compare them to anyone else.
 
Celebrate and appreciate their uniqueness and know that they are not here to blend in with others. They may not get the same grades as their siblings or friends however they have their gifts that you can take the time to acknowledge.

Accept Them

Accept them just the way they are. They are in a perfect body as a soul that is here to fulfill a purpose. Encourage them to do what gives them joy, be independent of others’ opinions about them, and focus on aligning to their true self, creator, and living a life of purpose as long as they are not harming anyone else.

In conclusion, you now know a parent-child relationship is important because your child, a soul, has come into your life for a reason and it is not an accident. Your child may have come to teach you something and help your soul grow and/or to learn and grow as a soul from your wisdom. It is a much smoother experience if you have a good parent-child relationship.
 
Always strive to intentionally and consciously have a positive relationship with your child as you perform the daily parental functions that you have been trusted with because it directly impacts their development and potential success in different areas of life as an adult.
 
You also know that it is possible to better a relationship and it is never too late. It will take some effort and work however it is worth it.
 
You can have a better relationship with your child by raising your energy, becoming self-aware, loving unconditionally, and making your child feel heard, understood, seen, and accepted.

Can Core Values Change?

Whether you are aware and have taken the time to identify what your top core values are or not, you have them for sure and you live your life according to your most important values especially when you have to make choices, prioritize the order of importance, and encounter stressful situations.
 
Can your core values change or do they remain the same for the rest of your life?
 
Yes, some of your core values can change as you grow and become wiser from your life experiences and setbacks and move through different phases and roles in your life like becoming a parent, getting married, and starting your own business.
 
So, you may be wondering, how many core values can a person have? Let’s discuss that next.

How Many Core Values Can A Person Have?

You can have as many core values as you want, however, if you were to examine your life, you will discover that you have your top 3-5 core values that define who you are and that you tend to live by. Make sure you take the time to identify what your top 3-5 core values are if you do not currently know.
 
Next, let’s discuss why core values are important.

Why Core Values Are Important?

If you want to live your best meaningful, purposeful, authentic, and fulfilling life then you must know your core values. Let’s discuss some additional reasons below as to why values are important.

5 Reasons Why Values Are Important In Life

Act As Guidance

Your core values are within you, always available, and act as your inner guidance. It is easy for you to quickly turn inward, consult your values, and then decide whether to say yes or no to any ask rather than asking someone else to help you make better decisions.

Help You Stay True To Self

Your core values are important because they help shape your identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, decisions, words, behaviour, actions, habits, and ultimately your destiny.
 
Whenever you decide to do something that is not aligned with your values, you will not feel good and that will be a sign that your actions are not aligned with who you are or want to be.

Inform Your Life’s Vision

Core values will help you discover your life purpose, vision, and goals and act like a road map in your life journey. You would not choose a life vision and goals that are not aligned with your core values and which could lead to you experiencing constant inner conflict and distress.
 
If your values do not serve the vision of life that you want then you will have to change them so you can become the person who can fulfill your desired life vision with ease and flow.

Help You Determine Boundaries

Your core values will help you figure out what you will accept, not accept, your boundaries, and your non-negotiables. For example, if respect is one of your top values then you will not spend time with people who do not respect you or put yourself in situations where you do not feel respected.

Guide All Your Decisions

Core values will guide every decision you make in life. They act as a filter for all decisions you make about yourself and how you treat others like what time you wake up, what you eat, where you work, and who you spend time with and be in relationships with.
 
Next, let’s discuss why it is important to have core values in your business.

4 Reasons Why Values Are Important In Business

It is beneficial to have values for your company that are aligned to your values so that you can live your best aligned authentic life and do the work that you love. Here are some reasons why values are important in business.

Makes You Stand Out

Your company values will help you stand out from the crowd and predict what customers can expect to experience every time they interact with your brand and company.

Attract The Right Team

Your company values will help you attract and retain the right team members who are inspired, engaged, and aligned with your values, mission, and purpose. They believe in your mission, and purpose and are excited and proud to work by your side to create a movement and make an impact within your company.

Attract Like-minded Customers

Your company values will help you attract like-minded customers who will resonate with your message, and are happy to do business with you because they need your products and services to transform their lives for the better.

Dictate What Your Company Stands For

Your company values dictate what your customers and team can expect from you as a leader/owner, the internal culture, communication, conduct, and behaviour of the staff towards each other and how they make decisions and treat your customers within your company.

How To Find Your Core Values

Google and review a list of values in the chart. Identify your core values by asking what you stand for. What is important to you? Keep asking these questions until you have chosen the values that apply to you. The answers to these questions should help you narrow down the 3-5 core values that you live by.
 
Then, organize your list in order of most important and relevant to the least. Do you have these values posted somewhere so you can see them and be reminded of them every single day?

So much of our time in life is spent working and earning money so that we can pay our bills and live the kind of life we want to live. The majority of people are not happy with their job and the work they do to earn an income and therefore can not wait to retire and live their life of freedom.

Why Is Taking Care of Your Body Important?

We are currently living a busy life full of information overload and constant distractions and so we forget to prioritize things that are crucial and should matter to us the most. One such thing is taking care of your body. Why is taking care of your body important?
 
It is important to take care of your body because your soul is temporarily housed in your body and it would be very hard for it to fulfill its purpose and calling if your body is not functioning optimally. Also, it will be difficult for you to live your best, happy, content, meaningful, and impactful life if you do not have a healthy body.
 
So, you may be wondering next, is it possible that you can make your body function well? Let’s find out the answer to that question.

Can I Make My Body Function Well?

Yes, you most definitely can. You are responsible for the type of life you create for yourself. Begin by accepting and being grateful for the perfect type of body that you have been blessed with to fulfill your purpose. Know who you are, adopt the right identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, behaviour, personality, and habits, and then intentionally create your desired destiny.
 
Next, let’s discuss some of the best ways to take care of your body.

5 Best Ways To Take Care Of Your Body

Your body was given to you as a gift by your creator and if you don’t take care of it then you will suffer the consequences like illnesses and other physical challenges.
 
Let’s discover the five best ways to take care of your body below.

Drink Enough Water

We are mostly made up of water and our organs, brain, and spine all need water to function well. Some of these organs get water last because all the other organs take the water first. We must be drink enough water so that there is enough supply for all of our organs.
 
Start by drinking water first thing in the morning because all your organs are dry and they need water to start working optimally. Remember to have water throughout the day. Send constant reminders to yourself to do so by setting an alarm to go off every half hour or so.
 
Have a bottle of water near you on your desk if you’re working or if you are sitting somewhere. Most people need about two liters of water daily. The amount of water you need daily is dependent on your weight. 
 
There is plenty of information on the internet to calculate the exact amount of water you should personally drink daily. Make sure you’re having enough water based on your weight and hydrate your cells, tissues, and organs so that they can function optimally for your body and serve you.

Eat Healthy Food

Eat healthy nutritious food, daily vitamins, and supplements that fuel your body for vitality and optimal function. You are literally what you eat. Stay away from unhealthy junk food that is full of empty calories, drinking alcohol excessively, smoking, and consuming other substances that do not help you live optimally and affect your organs negatively.
 
When you consume things that intoxicate and make you lose control of who you are and your actions like excessive alcohol or drugs, you cannot stay on purpose and will not be able to align and live by the qualities of your soul and reflect your creator in your actions. 

Move Your Body

Move your body every single day because it’s important for the optimal functioning of your organs and for you to live a long healthy life. It’s good to raise your heart rate every single day whether it is through exercise, playing sports, walking, or dancing.

It is good exercise for two and half hours ideally every week however that may not always be possible to do depending on the season of life that you are in.
It is important to remember any time exercising is better than no time at all. I get joy from dancing, playing racket sports, or jumping on my mini trampoline, and have built that into my routine.

Get Enough Restful Sleep

It’s very important to have restful sleep of 7-8 hours at least per night so that your body and brain can repair and rejuvenate. Ideally, be fast asleep between the hours of 10 PM and 2 AM every day including on the weekend because that is when a lot of the restoration happens at that time and if you sleep later than that then you miss out on this process. 
 
Ensure that your room is dark and switch off any electronics or anything that emits blue light at least an hour before you go to bed. It is better to read a book and then practice gratitude as you fall asleep every night to have a peaceful and restful sleep instead of thinking about everything that went wrong that day.
 
You tend to marinate in the thoughts that you have right before you fall asleep for the whole night so make sure you choose your thoughts well.

Have A Good Emotional Diet

Your body and mind are connected so make sure you have a good emotional diet. You become what you consume. Your mental state and beliefs do affect your body and biology.
 
Make sure that you are consuming a positive emotional diet by listening to positive messages, praying, reading spiritual books, and sitting in silence and aligning to your creator by meditation so that you can live your best, happy, meaningful, and impactful life.
 
If you consume negativity all day then that’s who you become and it informs your beliefs, identity, thoughts, feelings, behaviour, words, personality, and habits and then creates the destiny that you did not mean to create.

In conclusion, you now know it is important to look after your body because your soul is temporarily housed in your body and it cannot fulfill its purpose and calling if your body is not functioning optimally. Also, it will be impossible for you to live your best, happy, content, meaningful and impactful life if you do not have a healthy body.
 
You most definitely are capable and can make your body function well. You are responsible for the type of life you create for yourself.
 
Begin by accepting and being grateful for the type of body you have been blessed with to fulfill your purpose. Know who you are, adopt the right identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, behaviour, personality, and habits, and then intentionally create your desired destiny.
 
The best ways to take care of your body are drinking enough water, eating healthy food, moving your body, getting enough restful sleep, and taking care of your psychology by having a good emotional diet.
 
I hope you will start taking care of your body immediately by incorporating these practices into your routine every day if you are not already doing so. I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, and best life!

What Are Life Lessons?

I believe it is very important to acknowledge and learn the life lessons that we need to learn or else the challenges will continue to re-occur until we learn the lessons that we are meant to learn. What exactly are life lessons?
 
Life lessons are lessons that are taught to us by other people like parents, friends, and teachers or we learn them as we experience life challenges and gain a better understanding of ourselves. They help us improve ourselves and make better future decisions.
 
You may be wondering, why is it important and necessary to learn life lessons?

Why Is Learning Life Lessons Important?

It is also important to learn lessons in life so we can grow and become a better version of ourselves. This is one of our purposes as human beings while on this earth school temporarily. Our growth then enables us to better serve our purpose and help others with what we found challenging and overcame so that they do not suffer as much as we did.

Most Important Life Lessons To Teach Children

You may have been taught lessons from previous generations that do not serve you and they have become part of your subconscious programming. You are most likely going to then teach these lessons to your children and repeat the cycle as they will raise their children in the same way.
 
Your programming creates your reality and your life because it leads to your identity, beliefs, thoughts, behaviour, words, personality, habits, and destiny. Next, let’s discuss some important life lessons to teach children.

You Are Enough And Matter

One of the most important lessons that you can learn as a child is that you are enough and matter otherwise you would not be here. Your value does not diminish no matter what you go through in life. Every child should be told that.

You Deserve To Be Loved

You deserve to be loved unconditionally and should not feel that you have to please others to be loved as long as you are living in alignment with your soul’s qualities which are love, peace, purity, joy, compassion, and abundance.
 
Your creator does not have favourites, he has created you from love and loves you unconditionally. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not loveable because of your physical appearance. 

Know Yourself

It is important to be self-aware. Knowing yourself is the prerequisite for having a meaningful and blissful life of impact and purpose that you came here to live. Know your unique god-given gifts, your purpose, the work you would love to do, what your perfect day would look like, where you want to live, and the type of relationships you want to have and attract. You can not live your best life without fully being self-aware.

Spend Time In Silence

Learn to spend time in silence daily, turning inward, and connecting with your creator. Your guidance, wisdom, and answers to all your questions are within you. You have access to your creator’s divine mind, intelligence, and strength.

Fully Express Your True Self

Be proud of who you truly are, accept yourself, and learn to fully express yourself and not worry about others’ judgment. They may not have the capacity to understand your purpose. As long as you are not harming anyone else and are living your authentic soul-guided life, you have every right to live your best life defined by you.
 
It is better to be loved for who you are than for who you are not. Follow you’re the joy in your heart as a compass and confirmation that you are on the right path.

Be Independent

Be independent of thought, intelligence, and emotion, and know that you do not need to follow and conform to other people’s rules and ways of living that do not apply to you. Circumstances should never determine how you react.
 
Learn to pause and then respond in alignment with who you are which is peace, love, joy, etc. Do not let society and the grades you receive determine your worth and intelligence.

Okay To Ask For Help

Know that it is okay to ask for help when you need it. If you ask for help it does not mean that you are weak. Everyone needs help once in a while and collaboration and masterminding with other people is a good thing.
 
Let other people fulfill their purpose and experience joy by helping you. It is important to flex both your giving and receiving muscles and keep it in flow and balance. You deserve to receive.

Always Stay Curious

When you stay curious you tend to seek new knowledge and growth.  When you are always growing and evolving you can serve yourself and others in a bigger and better way constantly.

Learn To Manage Self

Be self-disciplined and learn to manage yourself better by being aware that you are experiencing misalignment from your true self and soul and attempting to return to being in alignment as quickly as you can. Practice will help make this process quicker.
 
Do not let outside circumstances dictate how you react or behave. Learn to pause and respond when unpleasant situations and circumstances that trigger you arise.

Do Not Fear Making Mistakes

Do not fear mistakes and let them prevent you from living your big life. There are no mistakes, they are feedback and results. You can learn and if you do not like the results then you can change course and pivot.
 
Believe in yourself and go after and create your big dreams, and best life, and always stay connected and aligned with your soul and creator for ongoing guidance.

In conclusion, you now know life lessons are either taught by other people like parents, friends, and teachers or we learn them as we experience life and gain a better understanding of ourselves. They help us grow, improve ourselves, and make better future decisions in life.
 
It is important to learn the life lessons that we need to learn or else the challenges will continue to
re-occur until we learn them.
 
It is also important to learn lessons in life so we can grow and improve as it is one of our purposes as human beings while on this earth school temporarily.
 
Our growth then enables us to better serve our purpose and help others with what we found challenging and overcame so that they do not suffer as much as we did.
 
The most important lessons to teach your children are you are enough, you deserve to be loved, know yourself, spend time in silence, fully express yourself, be independent, okay to ask for help, always stay curious, learn to manage self, and do not fear mistakes.
 
Please make sure you teach these lessons to your children or any child that you have a relationship with so that they can live their true best life of purpose, meaning, and impact.

What is a life challenge?

If you are alive and on earth school then it is not possible to live a life without any challenges. How much you suffer and if you suffer at all is your choice and it is very much dependent on your mindset. What exactly is a life challenge?
 
It is whenever you find yourself in unfamiliar circumstances or situations in life that your brain finds unsafe because it’s number one goal is your survival and safety. You feel scared and find it physically and/or mentally taxing and scary because you are unsure of your capacity to come up with an appropriate solution to deal with it.
 
You may be wondering, what is one of the hardest challenges in life? Let’s discuss that next.

What is the hardest challenge in life?

One of the hardest challenges in life I believe is losing a loved one and the grief that you suffer. It is very hard to function and everyone takes a different amount of time to deal with such a thing.
 
We all get very attached to our loved ones and forget that like them we are all a soul that is having a temporary human experience in this body and have to return to that form one day.
 
Have you ever found yourself saying “why does God put us through challenges?” Let’s find out the answer to this question

Why God Put Us Through Challenges?

God has given you free will and does not put you through challenges. You were not made to live your life as a victim and have full responsibility and power to create your life from your karma.
 
You forget your strength, and power and therefore unconsciously create a life that you did not want. You error in forming an identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviour, words, personality, habits, and ultimately our destiny.
 
God is always here to guide, nudge and give you strength to deal with any of these challenges and lessons that you need to learn through your challenges whenever you connect and ask for it.
 
Always remember whenever you do not feel good and joyful you are being guided and alerted by your emotions that you have errored in your thoughts and are not aligned to the true nature of your soul which is peace, love, purity, joy, wellbeing, abundance, and compassion.
 
Let’s go over some reasons why challenges are important in life next.

10 Reasons Why Challenges Are Important In Life

We often wonder why we have to go through so many challenges in life and why is life so unfair. You must go through life challenges so you can transform your life.
 
Let’s discuss 10 reasons why challenges are necessary and important in life.

Help You Grow

Challenges help you learn lessons, grow into a better person, and transform your life. Growth is necessary because it is always on the other side of comfort. A butterfly has to go through a painful process of pushing itself out of a cacoon to transform into a beautiful butterfly.
 
Challenges make you more conscious of your strength and help you fulfill your purpose. The purpose of every human being is to grow and serve others.

Make You Humble

Challenges make you humble and accepting of the fact that no one is spared from life challenges while on earth school. Everyone is connected, the same, and will go through challenges despite their colour, race, social status, size, gender, etc. Our Soul came to this earth to learn lessons, grow, and serve others.

Build Your Confidence

You build confidence as you learn to deal with different challenges in your life. You will know that, like everything else, this period will pass too. You will realize your life is full of infinite possibilities. You are bigger than any problem and can therefore conquer it. Always remember that you are a powerful soul.

Give You Strength And Courage

When you experience challenges you become stronger, courageous, and resilient. You learn to keep functioning and going despite what’s happening. You can control some things but not everything. Do not worry about things that are not in your control like other people and outer circumstances.
 
Learn to live an emotionally independent life and change your attitude about challenges instead. Know everything in life happens for a reason including challenges as they are here to teach you a lesson. Also remember sometimes you have to stay in the storm to see the rainbow at the end of it.

Help You Develop Mental Strategies

You develop mental strategies as you deal with the challenges and fear that you face to continue to function in life and continue to fulfill your obligations. You could learn to meditate, pray, spend time out in nature, get help, and speak to a friend or therapist. These strategies will help you deal better with other challenges that you may face in the future.

Makes You Better

You will become a bigger and better higher version of yourself as you go through many challenges in life. You realize that who you are is much more powerful than any challenge out there. You are a powerful soul that has come from a powerful creator. You are connected to and are like your creator and have access to this power, intelligence, and strength.

Gives You Better Ability To Help Others

As you grow and transform your life after going through your challenges, you are better equipped and able to help others who are going through similar challenges. You can help reduce their suffering and difficulties as you teach them the strategies you developed when you went through similar challenges.

Increase Your Ability And Desire To Dream Big

Once you realize your capability to conquer your challenges, you will be more inclined to dream big and have big goals for your best life. You will have the self-belief and aim to live a life full of possibilities that is fulfilling and meaningful.

Motivate You To Align With Your Creator

The challenges that you conquer will make you more conscious of your truth and higher self and you will be motivated to align with this version of yourself more and more. You will also want to live a more purposeful and impactful life in alignment with your creator’s guidance and use your unique gifts in the service of others. You will have less desire to live an ego-centered life.

Develop Trust

You will be able to develop trust in yourself and your creator once you learn to successfully deal with your challenges. Your creator and universe always have your back and are here to nudge you to learn the lessons and return to your purposeful path by providing loving guidance via your inner wisdom and intuition.
