article: In Christianity, prayer is the act of reflecting upon your actions and feelings and communicating them with God. While you pray, you can ask God to help you, seek his forgiveness for a sin you committed, or ask for guidance on a problem in your life. The more you truly reflect, the closer you will be to him. In some forms of Christianity, there are pre-written prayers that you can recite like Our Father, Hail Mary, and The Apostle's Creed. Protestant and Catholic followers recite The Apostle's Creed while Orthodox Christians use the creed from Nicaea and Constantinople. When you talk to God, make sure that you turn off distractions like your cell phone or TV. God is around is everywhere you go and communicates through events that happen in your life. To listen to God, you need to have to be open and receptive to signs that he gives you. Also, you need to have a firm grasp of scripture and morality to be able to discern between personal desire and the desire of your Lord. Take the morality of Scripture and allow it to dictate your actions towards other people. In Romans 10:17 it says "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ." When you do God's work, it makes you closer to him. Consider the scripture and morality when you make decisions, and always aim to help other people. The more that you abide by his word and live a good life the closer you will feel to him. For example, if you need to decide on whether to lie or to be truthful at your job, consider that bearing false witness is a cardinal sin. If someone comes to you for help and guidance, instead of turning them away, do what you can do for them. When Jesus walked the earth, he visited many places in what is now known as Israel. Traveling to Holy sites is sometimes referred to as a pilgrimage for Christians, and is meant to bring you closer to God. While many of the original Holy places are in Israel, many places are considered Holy around the world. In Israel, some Holy sites include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mount Zion, Bethlehem and Nazareth. Other places across the world that are considered Holy include, Zaragoza in Spain, Vatican City in Rome, and Mt. Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery in Egypt.

article: Determine what your mom enjoys and create a themed basket based on her likes. This is much more personal than a pre-made gift basket or a gift card. Personalize it even more by adding a framed photo and add some flowers for a lovelier appearance. If your mom needs to relax, create a "spa" basket that includes items likes soaps, lotions, perfumes, and other personal care items. If your mom has a sweet tooth, create a basket that has all of her favorite candies or snacks. The cost of the basket will depend on the items you include so go as big or as small as needed based on your budget. Throwing in something with sentimental value always adds a nice touch. Indulging your mom will make her feel good both inside and out. Spa treatments such as manicures, pedicures, massages, or salon days are likely to bring a smile to your mom's face. Treat your mom to a day or evening of new activities that are based on her likes. Scheduling a new and exciting adventure will show your mom that you care enough to plan an amazing experience. Try taking her to a new restaurant she's been wanting to try. Get dressed up and go to the ballet or opera. Try something neither of you have tried before. For example, instead of giving a bouquet of flowers, why not make one together? Instead of buying a plain, generic piece of jewelry, try having something custom made to suit your mom's personality and taste. You have to not only think about her jewelry preferences (bracelets, rings, gold, silver, etc.), but you also have to keep her interests in mind. For example, charm bracelets offer a lot of personalization because many jewelers have charms to represent everything including religion, sports, music, dance, and more. If you have siblings you can purchase a piece that includes the birthstones of all her children. Shop at smaller farmer's markets or online to find one-of-a-kind pieces; some can even be hand-pressed and personalized. It may seem cliche but many women still enjoy receiving flowers as a sign of appreciation. The hardest part will be determining what type of blooms your mother would best enjoy. Visit a florist to determine the florist's style, specialties, to ask questions, and to see the bouquets in person. No flowers really "clash" with each other so don't worry about choosing "ugly" flowers. Instead, choose blooms based on your mother's favorite colors or smells. Bouquets normally only last 4-5 days so be prepared to put in a little work to make them last longer. Change the water daily, make sure the stems are cut at an angle, and add sugar or aspirin to the water to extend the life.

article:
Some people think that if you're mad about something, that you should say it right away to avoid letting your angry feelings fester. Sure, that's true some of the time, but other times, your anger may be fleeting and it will be better to simply go to bed and let things go. The next time you're annoyed about something relatively minor, ask yourself, "Is it really worth it to mention this right now?" or, "Will I really care about this once I'm in a better mood/have more coffee/get my work done?" If the answer is no, then move on. Sure, one school of thought is that you shouldn't go to bed mad. But another is that, if you stop mentioning every little thing that sets you off, that you won't be mad to begin with. People who are content with their lives typically don't have many things to worry about. They have only the possessions they really need instead of a wardrobe full of clothes. They have one car for their family instead of two so they don't have to worry so much about the cost and maintenance. They have one credit card instead of three, four close friends instead of forty acquaintances, and they focus on doing the few things they really love instead of committing themselves to lots of things they only kind of like. Look around you -- do you really need to have so many pairs of shoes? Two types of iPods? Three calendars hanging above your desk? Any time you can eliminate something, go for it. De-cluttering is another form of simplifying your life. Go through your workspace and your home and rid all surfaces and drawers of the things you don't really need. You'll be able to breathe more easily and will be happier with what you do have. People who are content with their lives feel this way because they spend time doing the things that they love. If you have a passion that you're not pursuing, then yeah, you're not going to be content with what you do have. And if you don't know what your passion is, finding it can lead you to be more content with your life. Make a habit of doing the thing you love as much as you can, and to find the thing you love if you can't find anything to be really happy about. If there's nothing that gets you going, then you won't feel fulfilled. In some cases, you may be able to turn your passion, like photography, into a career. This will be even more rewarding and will make you happier. If you want to be content with your life, then you have to be happy with what you do have, whether it's a great home or a great family meal, instead of always looking for ways to make your life a little bit better. Striving for perfection is guaranteed to make you less happy with what you have and will make you feel even worse and less adequate, no matter what you do have. As The Rolling Stones once said, "You can't always get what you want/but if you try sometimes/you get what you need..." These are words to live by. Don't obsess over having the nicest or most amazing things, and focus on being happy with what you do have. And guess what? You can always find a better version of something, whether it's a new Apple device or a new car. Striving for perfection will exhaust you and will make you perpetually unhappy. Connecting with people has been proven to make people feel more content with their lives. Meaningful relationships are one of the most important things in life, and they will make you feel less alone and more able to deal with your problems. Whether you're connecting with your best friend or chatting with your neighbour, even the little gestures and conversations can make you feel better. Stop making excuses. No one is too busy to have some sort of social life. Try to really connect with people at least twice a week. If you have a significant other, don't take him or her for granted. Take the time to make truly meaningful memories and to have real conversations with the one you love. Having a good warm bath, a scented candle while listening to your favorite music or just lying on the couch and watching your favorite television show are good examples of a quality time for yourself. Those are the times that you do not need to spend money but it is a way of enjoying your "me" time. Remind yourself that you are important and you deserve to be pampered. Treating yourself like you are worth the extra time and care will make you feel better about your own life. Don't let a friend's last-minute plans take away your "me time." Guard your alone time like it's time you were planning on spending with Brad Pitt. Sure, changing your perspective and your actions can go a long way in making you feel content with your own life, but what if there is a major obstacle standing in your way? If that's the case, then you won't be able to be truly content with your life if you don't do something about it. Think long and hard about the thing that is in the way of you and your happiness. If it's something you can fix, then make a game plan for doing so. Here are some examples: If you're miserable because you feel completely uninspired or unappreciated in your current job, then ask for a raise, find something new, or consider switching career paths completely. If a terrible relationship, whether it's your love life or your complicated relationship with a close friend, is standing in your way, then it may be time to cut ties. If you're seriously overweight and it's keeping you from doing the things you want to do, then it may be time to find a healthier routine for yourself.
