I’m 48 and in a dead end job. I know I should be grateful to have a well-paying job today, but I can’t change if I keep saying I’m grateful because the universe hears you say that and I will be stuck forever in my job that is absolutely boring and dead-end. I feel too that I don’t know what to do with my life. I cry often because I meditate and never get any answers and say well God is busy with more pressing issues, okay, I don’t want to be selfish, but I don’t want to just exist in this world. I just can’t figure it out. Just writing this, tears are falling.

I guess this isn’t really a question as much as a request for encouragement. 🙂
Incorporating Meditation Into a Daily Routine
I was wondering if you could give me a few tips as to how to incorporate meditation in my day-to-day… I can’t seem to find the right time or mood… I’m always full of excuses… how exactly to go about it… I start thinking… what is the right light, the right music… and then… should i just stay quiet, pronounce a mantra, think of affirmations… I get lost in all the hows and end up doing pretty little…
Change Your Energy with Subtle Action
Subtle action is the most powerful tool we have to change our energy. Deepak Chopra explains how we can change the energy in our daily lives by viewing our bodies as a flowing process guided by energy.
Recently I’ve been discussing how to change your energy. Many problems—physical and mental—seem to come down to a person’s beliefs, habits, lifestyle, moods and emotions. We use the words “positive” and “negative” to describe people we know, yet modern medicine hasn’t been able to find the source of these factors. There’s plenty of data to prove that people who undergo traumatic events, such as being widowed or losing a job without warning, suffer from lowered immune response. There are countless studies linking stress and poor health. CONTINUE READING AT OPRAH.COM
