Every day we live, every moment we breathe is a reminder of
how fortunate we are judged against those who have died. How fortunate we are
to take pleasure in what we have to do and cherish the pleasure of this life. Our
mind is a cosmic part of our being, it’s why we exist. Without it we’re just
like a vegetable. It’s the main object behind all our emotions, actions and feelings.
It why we cry, sigh, laugh, smile and so on. Now, when we’re working we are
indulged in the completion of the task we are doing. Every nerve in our body is
on the work to make it till the end of whatever we are doing at that moment. We
don’t get time to think about other things, and in particular that happens when
we are really enjoying the task we are doing and it has our heaving focus.
Everybody have their own way of thinking, looking at things,
inferring them and then countering them in accordance with their own inimitable
perspective. Every human being perceive same happening in a different way. And
that said, that very human being has the ability to perceive the particular
occurrence in tens of thousands ways. For instance let’s take it this way.
Someone is really thirsty since a long while, they get a glass of water but
it’s half-filled. Now there are two ways a human mind will perceive it. One
being the negative way and the other being the positive way. The negative way is put this way. The person
won’t drink the water and think that it’s not enough to quench their thirst.
That’s called not accepting the present situation and wanting something that we
can’t get at that very moment. It called not living in the moment and desiring
something. The positive way it that the person accepts the fact that they only
have that much amount of water available and those they have to survive on it
for the time being. They don’t let the negative thought enter their mind and
drink the water. So that said, we should go with the latter and let our mind be
light and positive.
ACCEPTANCE instead of tolerance
We should and we must accept things the way they are. I’m
not saying we should not speak up nor do anything if things are really unfair
and terrible. If your surroundings and the environment you’re living in is
agonizing and not like what you want it to be the first try to change it, if it
doesn’t changes and remains the same, then don’t change yourself but accept it.
It will pacify you. Trust me. If you
keep tolerating a thing or a person or anything at all, it will keep on
stacking up inside you, burning you from within, and then inevitably, a time
will come when all hell will break loose and you’ll burst out. No one will get
affected but you and yourself only.
FORGIVE and FORGET
Forgive others, they might be someone who hurt you, abused
you, and made you cry and so on. Forgiving is the best way to take revenge if
it may come to that. It will make the other person realize how wrong they were
and how calm and great you are. And apart from forgiving, forget every grudge
you have inside your mind related to that person or any thought of them. It
will be really hard in the beginning but eventually it will become easier as
time passes by.
MEDITATION
To meditate is the best ever possible way of emptying your
mind off negative thoughts and feelings that sting you. I’ve mentioned in an
earlier post the method of how to do this technique. You’ll feel wonderful and
ecstatic once you start doing it regularly and exactly like how it’s supposed
to be done.
WALK
Whenever you feel like really low and all drenched in
sadness and negative thoughts. Go out for a walk. In fact do it every day. Make
it a habit; adjust it in your routine. It should be in your list your must dos
for the day. And remember when you walk, make it brisk. Walk fast. And the time
span should be at least 30-40 minutes in the start. When you’ll do it, it will
release your all frustrations, worries and free your mind of stupid and
thoughts which are trivial. It’s one of the easiest ways to let go off negative
thoughts.
GET ORAGANIZED AND
FOCUSED
Organize yourself. Put your things in order. Discard those
which you don’t need. Make folders at work or of your academics. Take out time
and organize your wardrobe, put your shoes in order. Make to-do lists every
day. Set your priorities in the order of the most important ending up with the
least important. Get focused on what you want and what’s important for you. Let
go of what you’re chasing after but you cannot get it. Trust me if it’s meant
for you it will come to you no matter what. By doing this your confusions will
go down, cluttering of your thoughts will decrease. Your decision making
process will sharpen and you’ll feel energetic. Your confidence will also rise
drastically.
WORK, WORK and WORK
Keep yourself indulged in activities all the time whatever
they may be. Don’ts it idle AT ALL. Never. Keep yourself busy all the time!
It’s for your own good. It will divert your mind from negative and bad thoughts
and keep you busy. You will have no time to think about petty things and you’ll
get focused.
