Why Pisces Is The Most Difficult Sign To Understand

November 20, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Pisces have an imaginative, emotional disposition, often keeping their thoughts hidden from the world. They are gentle, loving, caring folks with a heart of gold but can easily get trapped by their conflicting emotions and thoughts. They live inside their heads a lot and love to escape reality since they have such a deep inner world to explore. Pisces are the zodiac’s dreamers and have a strong creative streak. However, they often feel misunderstood by the people around them, and can easily become depressed if they feel their voice isn’t heard.

Pisces have a lot to offer the world, and we could learn a lot from this highly intuitive sign if we attempt to understand them.

This is the twelfth astrological sign of the zodiac that celebrates its month on the calendar between February 19th and March 20th. Pisces is a water sign associated with sensitivity, compassion, intuition, and creativity. Pisceans are often known for their empathetic nature and their ability to connect with others on an emotional level. They are imaginative and often possess artistic talents, as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty and mysteries of the world.

As with all zodiac signs, the sun sign (Pisces, in this case) is one aspect of an individual’s astrological profile. Other factors such as the moon sign, rising sign, and placements of other planets also influence a person’s unique characteristics and traits.

Why Pisces Is The Most Difficult Sign To Understand

Pisces keep to themselves a lot.

They long for people to understand them. But they don’t always have the words to express their feelings or needs. They certainly spend a lot of time in their heads. That fact makes it hard for others even to contact them. Pisces do open up eventually but give them some time. Treat them with love, respect, and understanding; you’ll have their trust in no time. They just get overwhelmed easily by the world and find solace in their creativity and imagination. Start talking about fantasy, art, or some other creative endeavor; you will see them come to life and join in the conversation!

Pisces like to escape reality quite often.

Pisces can become quickly disinterested in the modern world. That’s because it seems so regimented and exhausting to them. The world moves so fast that they have a hard time keeping up, so they often like to escape into the comfort of their thoughts. Pisces don’t mean to seem aloof or rude, but the world tires them and drains them of their inspiration. Understand this about them, and you’ll have a much easier time hanging around your Pisces friends when they enter their dream worlds.

They want to get close to people, but feel afraid of getting hurt.

Because Pisces have such a nurturing, caring nature, people often take advantage of their kindness. They want close relationships, but because they’ve been burned so much in the past, they can’t seem to rid themselves of the fear of getting hurt. If you give them a chance, however, you will open yourself up to the possibility of a beautiful, fulfilling relationship with them, whether romantic or platonic in nature.

They wear their heart on their sleeve.

Pisces are highly emotional creatures and give their heart away to whoever they feel deserves it. They fall in love easily, and because of this, they get hurt easily, too. They try to see the best in people and continue to do so even after they’ve been hurt. However, once you do get on their bad side, they will forgive but never forget. Pisces have high expectations in relationships and get let down often due to their standards. They want to believe in the good in people, but after getting burned so many times, their patience and hope start to dwindle.

The Pisces needs a lot of alone time.

Pisces get drained very easily by all the stimuli in today’s world. They need plenty of time to decompress and recharge from all the conflicting energies out there. However, they also crave connection, support, and love from others. So they need a healthy balance of alone time and social time. No matter if you’re a friend or lover of a Pisces, remember to never let them get too far away. After all, Pisces wouldn’t survive without their relationships but wouldn’t function properly without solitude. Honor their need for quiet time, and remind them that you’ll be around when they feel like coming out of their blissful sanctuary.

8 Things You’ll Only Understand if You’re a Pisces

They’re highly independent.

Pisces loves close relationships, but at their core, they function best alone. The expectations in relationships can cause overwhelm them sometimes. So they need time away to recharge and focus on what makes them happy. They don’t want to alienate themselves from others. But sometimes, they don’t have the energy available for anyone but the person looking at them in the mirror. They don’t like to rely on others. Instead, they prefer to use their own resources and energy to get things done.

5 Signs You Love Someone Who Doesn’t Deserve You

November 20, 2016 by Power of Positivity

You never appreciate what you have until it is gone sometimes. Some people never appreciate you, even when you are gone. They are so self-serving and self-centered that anything that isn’t of direct and immediate benefit to them does not even appear on their radar. Indeed, they are so in love with themselves that none is left over for you.

No matter how hard you try, no matter how flexible or understanding you are, and no matter how much you love them, they will never change who they are. They will not magically wake up someday and fully appreciate what a wonderful person they are with. They will never embrace and reciprocate your love because they have nothing left over for you after their enormous love of self.

All of their time, interest, love and affections are turned inward on themselves. Like a black hole, they suck you in and devour the emotions of everyone around them.

Here are 5 signs that they don’t deserve you:

1. They Lie To You and Cheat On You

They break your trust and they lie to you, never revealing where they are going or who they are seeing.

Undoubtedly, they lead a double life and use you to support the other. They lie to you because you are not important to them. Only they are important to themselves. Everyone else is to be used and discarded to further their pleasure.

They don’t love you enough to be honest with you and are not considerate enough to end one relationship before starting another.

2. They Are Takers and Not Givers

People in a mutually loving relationship, to some extent, are givers. They give their time, resources, love and space to their partners. With a giver, everyone is taken care of and happy. With a taker, only half of the relationship gives everything while the other partner mooches off them.

Like a black hole, they suck in resources and give nothing back in return. It is a one-way street with them. It is either their way or the highway.

You need someone who can accept that you are your own person with your desires, emotions, and needs. You need someone who gives back to the relationship more than they take away from it.

3. They Belittle You

They are so wrapped up in their own life and desires that they are unimportant in their internal world. Most of the time that is kept inside their heads. That lack of respect leaks through in belittling comments when they are emotionally unstable or upset.

It is one thing to tease your partner a bit and be teased in return, but when they are mean-spirited comments solely intended to hurt you, it is time to go. Someone who loves and respects you isn’t going to tear you down, and they certainly would never think of doing it in front of other people.

A black hole, however, will tear you apart and break you down because that is in their nature.

4. They Cannot Be Counted On

They cannot be counted on to support you or to be where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be. These black holes live in their own world and cannot see past their own massive ego. They will forget important dates. They will miss special activities like your children’s sporting events or plays because they are wrapped up their world.

If you need them, they will not be there for you because it is an inconvenience to them. You need someone you can count on to be there when it matters. You are there for them, so why can’t they be there for you?

5. They Are Selfish Rather Than Team-Oriented

You are a team. You will succeed or fail together. If one person on the team wins, then the team as a whole wins. We perform individually but win as a team, or at least, that is how it should be. A black hole is called a singularity for a reason. Nothing can get close to them without being destroyed in the process.

These people are so self-oriented that they need to win to puff up their ego – an ego so fragile that it cannot stand seeing someone else do well even if it’s their significant other.

You need someone pulling in the same direction as you and willing to put in the effort to see the team succeed, even when they will get no glory from it.

10 Signs Your Friend Has A Crush…On You

November 20, 2016 by Power of Positivity

We like to think that we understand our friends quite well. In almost all cases, this is true. But what about when feelings of love begin to surface? In this case, things can get a little trickier.

Perhaps you’ve thought, at one time or another, that a friend might just think of you in a way that is a bit more serious. Emotions can be very difficult to decode unless one has a keen sense for observation and intuition. This is particularly true if one happens to have a very close (think ‘BFF’) relationship with a person, as behaviors that may signify love or infatuation are more commonplace and accepted.

In order to decipher friends’ emotions, it is necessary to watch how they behave around you. Again, this is not as easy as it sounds. Some people have a way of masking their emotions; providing little evidence that anything is out of the ordinary.

Here are 10 such signs that your friend may be crushing on you:

That said, there are ways to determine whether a not a friend is infatuated, maybe even in love, with you.

1. They’re super concerned with their appearance around you

One of the more obvious ways to know your friend is crushing on you is if they suddenly become meticulous with their appearance. This is especially the case when they know you are going to be somewhere, and make the extra effort to look their best.

2. They always seem to be looking at you

If you notice that, all of a sudden, your friend begins peering at you, it may be a sign you’ve become more attractive to them. A usually reliable sign is if they seem to do this at the expense of pretty much everyone else in the room. They may even lower their eyes or look elsewhere if you look back.

3. They “avoid” you in public

If you are among other friends and this one particular friend purposely avoids you, it may be a sign of a crush. To rule out animosity as an impetus, notice how they act when you’re together again. Do they all of a sudden get super friendly like they never avoided you in the first place? They probably have a crush and don’t want others to know about it.

4. They begin to imitate you

Imitation (or synchrony) is one of the strongest indicators of attraction. This has been demonstrated in a number of scientific studies involving psychology and mechanisms of attraction.

So, if you notice that your friend all of a sudden mirrors your body language or other behaviors it may be a sign that they’re attracted to you.

5. They love to keep you guessing

If your friend suddenly begins taking you aback – by gifts, food, or something else – it may be a strong signal that they’re attracted. Frequency is important here, as by nature, some people are just supremely generous. But, intuition and common sense will stimulate the notion that they’re acting strangely.

6. They “become available” when you’re around

Here’s another obvious sign, as when we’re attracted to someone we always want to be around them. So, if your friends tell you that he or she decided to go somewhere after your name was mentioned…well, that’s a pretty good indication. They also never seem to miss even the most insignificant of events when you’re around.

7. They suddenly become shy around you

This is different for everyone, but sudden shyness may be a sign of attraction. The best explanation is that they’re probably coming to grips with the complex thoughts and feeling that accompany crushing on a friend…or they’re just plain nervous around you now. Either way, it may be a good indicator.

8. They go “above and beyond”

Friends usually lookout for friends…we all know this to be the case. But, if this one particular friend begins to do things that defy the “friend zone,” even if that means sacrificing something themselves, it may be a sign that they’re falling for you.

9. They’re always laughing at your jokes

That terrible joke you told after one-too-many adult beverages…the one where almost no one laughed? Except for, of course, your potentially-infatuated friend? That could be a good sign that they’re thinking of you in more intimate terms. As with many things on this list, frequency and suddenness are good barometers.

10. They touch you every chance they get

If your friend is either touching you more than usual or making an effort to close the distance between you, it may be a good sign that they’re crushing. This may show up in obvious ways: hugging, rubbing, etc.; or it may show up in more subtle ways, such as “accidentally” bumping into you, or constantly brushing against you in a crowded place.

How to Hypnotize Yourself in 15 Minutes For Stress and Anxiety Relief

November 20, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Hypnosis is really nothing more than relaxation and concentration. No one can hypnotize you against your will. You are simply relaxing your mind and allowing your powerful subconscious mind to rise to the surface more than usual. Many psychologists believe that your subconscious mind exerts subtle influence over your personality and actions.

Repressed feelings and thought patterns gently affect your decisions without you being consciously aware of why you did something or said what you said. Anxiety and stress can be pushed down and allowed to fester in our mind until they start causing problems. Self-hypnosis is really nothing more than placing yourself in a state of relaxation and then acknowledging the things that are causing us stress. Once we acknowledge our stress and anxiety, we can let it go and break the cycle of negativity. We can then boost our positive outlook by giving ourselves positive messages. Once you get into the habit of daily self-hypnosis and relaxation, you will see your attitude change to a positive and constructive one.

How to Hypnotize Yourself in 15 Minutes For Stress and Anxiety Relief

Start With Deep Breathing

Start by getting comfortable and breathing in deep and slow. Deep, slow breathing will increase your body’s oxygen levels and cause your heart rate to slow down. Breathe in deep and let the air flow out of your lungs in a slow and controlled manner. For the first minute, just focus on the act of breathing and letting the tension in your body relax.

Visualize Yourself Floating On A Cloud

Visualize yourself floating on a cloud. You are surrounded by the cloud and it is warm and soft. Let the cloud absorb your tension and your anxiety. You are safe and nothing can hurt you while you are floating on the cloud. The cloud is peaceful and serene. Imagine reaching out and embracing its warmth and safety.

Monitor Your Thoughts

While you are relaxed, you might find stressful or negative thoughts creep into your mind. That is okay. Allow them to surface and acknowledge that they are there. Do not get caught up into the thoughts as they surface in your mind. Let them come and go as they please. Try to identify the thoughts as either positive thoughts or negative thoughts.

Let Go Of Troublesome Thoughts

Once you have identified the troublesome or negative thoughts, then gently let them go. Do not allow your mind to dwell on them or stay on one thought for too long. Let them come and let the negative ones go and float away from your puffy little cloud. Acknowledge any anxiety or negative feelings that come with the thoughts and gently let them go as well. Keep doing this exercise of monitoring your thoughts and letting go of negativity and anxiety until your mind is clear and free from stress. The point of the exercise is to clear your mind and let the white cloud absorb your stress and anxiety. You want your mind to be a blank slate for the next part.

Tell Yourself Something Positive

Now that you have acknowledged your negativity and stress and then let it go, you should spend some time telling yourself some positive things about yourself and your situation. Even simple thoughts like “I am calm and at peace with myself” or “My thoughts create my life” can have a beneficial impact by bringing your thought pattern around to something positive and breaking the cycle of negativity.

Enjoy The Peace And Tranquility

Once you have relaxed, let the anxiety and stress go and center yourself with some positive or motivational thoughts that will help you enjoy the relaxation and tranquility. Just spend a few minutes enjoying the relaxation and peaceful quiet of the moment. The rest of the day may be filled with hectic work and family life, but for these fifteen minutes, you are free of time and space and relaxing on a cloud. There are no worries or concerns. There is just you and the quiet, peaceful relaxation.

Self-hypnosis can be a wonderful tool to manage stress and anxiety. The only difference between self-hypnosis and regular hypnosis is that with regular hypnosis, you are just permitting someone to bring you to that state of deep relaxation. It doesn’t take hours or a special sofa or bed. It can be done just about anywhere and at anytime.

What Does This Ancient Tibetan Test Reveal About Your Personality?

November 20, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Have you ever truly taken the time to dive deep and learn more about yourself? This Tibetan personality test can help you do just that, by tapping into your higher self and deepest desires. This test may seem abstract at first, but it will get you thinking deeper and learning more about your subconscious mind. The personality types can get pretty complex, but this test is designed to simplify the topic and help you understand yourself better.

While there are literally thousands of personality tests available online, it’s believed that this particular test was created by the Dalai Lama himself. Whether that’s completely true or not, we aren’t sure, but either way, it’s worth taking to get a new, possibly better perspective about yourself.

To do this test properly, you only need to remember this simple instruction. Don’t think about each answer too much, instead just letting the thoughts come to you and going with the flow.

You’ll also need a notepad and pen to get started. So, without further ado, let’s get on with it!

“Happiness is not something readymade it comes from your own actions.” – Dalai Lama

What Does This Ancient Tibetan Test Reveal About Your Personality?

1. First, imagine there are five animals standing in front of you.

Remember, just go with it. Imagine that a cow, a sheep, a tiger, a horse, and a pig are currently staring at you, just waiting for you to decide your favorites.

Now, list the animals in an order that suits you. Whether you list them from most to least favorite or some other way, just write them down in an order that you like.

2. Write one word that describes each of the following.

A dog is _______.
A cat is _______.
A rat is _______.
Coffee is _______.
The sea is _______.

Remember to just list one word per noun.

3. Link five people in your life to a color.

Each person needs to be assigned to a color from this list below.

Yellow
Orange
Red
White
Green

Use your intuition to assign each person to one color from the list.

When you’ve finished, read below to find out what your answers mean!

1. The Priorities of Your Personality Type

If you chose the cow, your first priority is your career. If you chose the tiger, you’re mostly concerned with your self-worth. Chose the sheep? You place love at the top of your priority list. Picking the horse means that family is most important to you, and choosing the pig means you care mostly about money.

Then, you can read even further into it and see not only your first priority, but how you view all the important aspects of your life, and the order of importance for all of them.

2. Your Attitude About Life

Dog: Your personality
Cat: Your partner’s personality
Rat: Your enemies’ personality
Coffee: Views about sex
Sea: Your life overall

What adjective you chose to describe each noun will determine your attitude about each of these things in your life.

3. Your Attitude Towards People

Yellow: Someone who impacted your life positively.
Orange: A person that you view as a true friend.
Red: Someone you love with all your heart.
White: Your true spirit.
Green: Someone you’ll never forget.

So, whatever people you associated with each color will determine your thoughts and feelings about each of those people.

What did you learn about yourself? Did the results match up with how you view your personality?

10 Things Alpha Women Need In A Relationship

November 19, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Alpha women portray the strength of mind and independence in every sense of the word. Accustomed to taking charge, they can intimidate some people. Alpha women are confident, ambitious, and unafraid to tell people what is what. That kind of power can be off-putting for some partners who are either overly competitive with the Alpha woman or too submissive. So how can a true Alpha woman maintain a strong and healthy relationship?

10 Things Alpha Women Need in a Relationship:

1. Alpha Women Need To Be Challenged

A partner to an Alpha woman needs to hold his own. The Alpha woman needs someone to compete with, yet someone secure enough in their abilities to be gracious in victory and a good sport in defeat.

2. They Need Trust

They need to know that what they tell you in confidence will stay in that relationship vault. An Alpha woman needs to feel the allowance to be vulnerable and let their guard down occasionally. They need to trust someone not to stab them in the back for personal gain.

3. They Need Respect

The Alpha woman needs her partner to respect her decisions and not second-guess them at every turn. Challenging her before the decision is made is okay, but not afterward. She needs her space and boundaries respected as well. This includes not being lied to for whatever reason. She respects someone who doesn’t belittle her when she is angry or put her on a pedestal she will fall off of eventually.

4. Alpha Women Need Their Independence

They need to be able to enjoy their passions and their friends. Alpha women don’t need a clingy person who can’t survive for a few hours without them. They want someone like them who also has a life outside of the relationship.

5. They Need Someone Who Can Keep Up

Alpha women have things they have to do, and they know no one will do those things for them. They are moving at a high speed, time-efficient, and booked solid almost 24/7. Someone who can hang with them and their high-pressure, high-intensity environment is what they are looking for.

6. They Need an Equal Partner

Someone who is an equal partner and carries their own weight in the relationship – this is who Alpha women will respect. They need someone with their own opinions and their ego in a healthy place. In other words, they need someone to walk with them, not behind them or in front of them. Their partner doesn’t need to have the same opinions, hobbies, or friends as they do. Alpha women respect a partner who is a complete and self-sufficient person.

7. Alpha Females Need To Laugh

Like many, alpha women love someone who can make them laugh and lighten the mood in their often stressful and high-pressure lives. They need someone who can bring a smile to their face, tease them and be teased in return without hurting feelings on either side.

8. They Need To Be Called Out When Necessary

This is challenging, but Alpha women need someone strong and secure enough to call them out on their bullsh*t. Someone to remind them that they are not perfect and that they can make mistakes from time to time. Everyone needs their ego checked occasionally, and the Alpha woman is no exception. Their power and personality makes it necessary to have someone who will reign them in a bit when they go off the rails.

9. Alpha Women Need Someone Who Is Informed

To be all of these things, a partner of this strong woman should be informed about things from current events to esoteric knowledge. They need to be able to have an intelligent conversation with the Alpha woman and express ideas on her level. In the age of social media and information bubbles, the partner of an Alpha woman needs to have a well-tuned bullsh*t detector.

10. Alpha Females Need Someone With Tact

Most importantly, they need someone with tact, someone who knows when to have that intense talk about something important and when to let it go. They need someone who can handle their moods and emotions without ruffling feathers. An Alpha woman needs someone thoughtful and sensitive enough to pick up on how she is feeling and broach difficult subjects in private.
