I felt a big smile on my face as I was enjoying the blessings of my life. The sun was hiding at the horizon on the eve of 4^th of July, the fireworks were lighting up the cloudy skies in my view, and I was sitting in my backyard tasting the delicious peaches that I had bought earlier at the farmers market. My loved ones were safe and my senses were all intrigued by the striking sight, sound, smell, and the taste of that moment. There was a lot to be savored and my smile was reflecting the contentment that I was experiencing. As I was mesmerized by the red, white, and blue grand finale of the colorful fireworks and appreciating the freedoms that I had enjoyed in this country for over three decades, some disturbing thoughts started creeping into my mind. I thought of the many hungry people who at that very moment were struggling to feed their loved ones; the soldiers who were anxiously awaiting possible harm in the front lines of a war zone; the terminally ill patients who were aimlessly gazing at the white ceiling over their hospital beds; and, the disaster stricken inhabitants of the cities who were fearfully dealing with fires, floods, destruction, and loss. The smile was gone.  

A happy moment in my life had just turned into a sad visualization of the world's horrifying realities. I wondered why we cannot hold on to the happy moments in our lives while we can easily let go of the comfort and peace that we justifiably deserve. After all, not only I had not done anything "wrong" to bring about discomfort to others, I had also spent most of my life making the world a better place to live in. Yet, it seemed like things were not "good-enough" and I did not deserve to be happy if others were suffering. The world was still affected by anxiety, fear, hunger, uncertainty, anger, and loss and I couldn't do much about it at that moment. Could I ever wipe those feelings from the face of the earth? Can it ever be a "perfect" world and can I always be on the "right"?  

"Right" or "wrong" judgments often distract us from experiencing reality. As long as we want to fix things from wrong to right we are insisting that things are "broken". While we are tending to fixing things we end up losing the joy of what we "have" at that moment. Just because things are broken it does not mean that we cannot benefit from some values in them or utilizing them. That thing could simply be a relationship, our health, a job, our finances, or just a happy moment that we have at the present time. A broken leg is a nuisance but still a valuable part of a body, a broken heart is hurtful yet being able to fall in love is a valuable virtue, and having a demanding boss is hectic although having a job is a blessing. Once we are attending to the "rights" or "wrongs" and the "perfect" or "broken" maintaining a smile becomes impossible. As we struggle to be "right" and expect ourselves not to make any mistakes we lose opportunities for being satisfied or feeling "good-enough".

If we believe that we are not "good-enough" then we will constantly be in pursuit of unhappiness. Naturally, when we do not accept our own shortcomings and flaws we cannot tolerate any "failure" in others as well. As we feel guilty or bad for our "wrongs", we look for ways to justify our action in order to avoid the depressing feelings of "failure". We will go on defending self, subconsciously bring shame to others, have an embarrassing or belittling attitude, get angry or frustrated, become anxious, and eventually lose more happiness. That's the reason for the negative values in our world not going away; things can never be "perfect".  

When we are continuously fixated on trying to fix everything, we lose the chance for tasting happiness. Happiness is not the destination at the end of a "perfect" life; it is the jubilant sounds and the colors over the clouds that darken our lives on a 4^th of July. It is savoring the taste of a peach while knowing that we can plant more peaches for others to taste after us. Happiness is with us in every moment if we take the time and notice what there "is" to be happy about rather than what it "is not". Little things in life have flavors and their tastes can make us move forward in joy. Sadly enough we mostly pay attention to the end result or the gratifying aspect of things, rather than sensing them while we can.  

We often take our five senses for granted and miss out on truly experiencing each moment. We are either regretting what we lost in the previous moment or worry about what will happen in the next. Our five senses are the gateways for being present to what "is" and by consciously utilizing them we can tune in to the happy moments in our lives. Like cherishing the taste of a seasonal fruit, sucking on its mouth watering nectar, smelling its refreshing fragrance, and feeling the heavenly blessing that nature has provided for us, tasting life can bring smiles to our faces. By tasting each flavor of life our facial expression can be an appreciating smile, especially if we are contently going about helping the world becoming a better place. Remember, it can never be better if we do not appreciate what we have NOW. Let's show the taste of happiness by experiencing a lasting SMILE.

       'Effective Communication' Class

Starts Tuesday July 24th!

Led by Dr. Sadigh

 

In workplace or personal negotiations, effective communication is the key to managing conflicts.

• know the inner-child at play and realize how self-destructive beliefs are formed
• Understand how to build better relationships with self and others
• Increase self-worth and self-esteem by using effective communication
• Set goals and limits by developing clarity and setting boundaries
• Learn how to deal with hopeless, helpless, anxious and depressed feelings
• Find out how to approach balance and reach joy

'Our bodies, via all of their five senses, take in approximately three million bits of information every minute. Each individual filters the information and processes it differently. Many times the huge amount of processing information does not allow us to communicate our understandings in an effective way. 'This is because we have been already programmed to communicate in a certain way and that style is not serving our today's needs appropriately.

It is ironic that many couples who experience problems in their interpersonal relationships use their children as the excuse for staying in that dysfunctional relationship or marriage. It is understandable that change is difficult especially when facing a conflict with a partner who is supposed to be an effective team mate rather than being against you. Making the effort to get out of a relationship seems hard when you are emotionally trapped. Change seems so challenging when you have children too and you cannot feel confident enough to deal with the future responsibilities alone. There will be financial difficulties, emotional strains and mental or physical suffering. Facing all of these challenges will be tremendously difficult. It is disabling and hard to handle the challenges, so it is natural to feel stuck, trapped and hopeless.

For most parents admitting the fear of failure in handling future responsibilities is anxiety provoking. They unconsciously use their children as the excuse to avoid facing their problems appropriately. Once a parent chooses to stay in a miserable relationship and says "my children need their family to be intact", she or he feels devoted, responsible, giving, and a "good" parent. They want to save their children's nest, but guess what happens? When your children live in an environment of continuous turmoil and witness fights, they feel insecure and they will not have a safe nest to begin with. By staying in such conflict, you are clinging to a war zone; you are clinging to the storm that is shaking your offspring's nest.

Children who witness parental conflict, coldness, sadness, struggle, and domestic violence are mostly depressed, anxious and become empty of internal strengths or resources. The marital conflict, name calling, belittling, constant arguments, fighting,  and the silent treatments are all extremely threatening to the children. When a child feels that the only two powerful authorities in his/her life are disabled to solve their conflict, they lose their faith in parental figures. They feel helpless and hopeless, which leads to anxiety and then depression. These children will live with low self esteem and low self confidence in their future relationships... Continue Reading
