I was travelling by bus with my whatsapp on and chatting with my teacher about one of her researches she is currently doing on human behavior. The answer that I got from her was full of positive vibes. She did acknowledge problems yet she never stopped making an effort to turn the situation positive.
Back home I was talking to my mother about the various problems that I was dealing with. She gave me an idea to meditate. Now thats something I never considered. As nowadays we have so much to do who would spend rather waste time meditating? I discussed this with my husband. But he insisted that we should at one point of time focus on the positives we have, calm our mind from the raging storm and let peace reign. Meditation can give you that peace.
I was about to retire for the day and just before that I switched on my Kindle as my daily custom. I was going through a book "change your habits, change your life" where the author states that it is always our choices , our limiting minds that restrict our ways to success. I dont want to delve deep into gyans as I find them boring. What I deciphered from it is if we have to dedicate a day to celebrate something lets celebrate happiness,peace and positivity. Lets forget our tensions for a day and concentrate on what we have, count our blessings and free our mind from fear.
I must say I am amazed at how my mother , mother-in-law or my teacher never stops to impart some positivity at the end of every problems so as to keep our focus intact. They may not deal with the situation the same way but they will never fail to look at the positive side too.
So lets meditate for a few minutes in a day, specially when your mind is racing. Just say "Calm down boss, life is not that difficult. This too shall pass."

ReplyDeleteDefinitely some daily meditation is required in this busy life.
ReplyDeleteEvery phase is a passing phase. The sun is sure to brighten up the universe after every dark night. Even if the clouds choose to hide it, it is only for some time, not eternally. So, we need to keep the flame of hope aglow and have faith in ourselves and in the goodness of things and situations. That hope and faith remains the peace within. And of course, meditation helps a lot. For when we concentrate only on our breathing process, we get connected with our inner self. That is a blissful experience indeed. Just meditating for 10/15 minutes everyday, we can taste immense peace. The petty turmoils of life then fail to disturb us.
