I woke up last Sunday and had a cup
of my morning green tea with the regular multi-grain biscuit for a healthy
start of the day. While I was enjoying the hot tea on a windy morning, I
realized that all I wanted was to have a job, and now when I have one, I am
still looking for something more. Why? Well. I don't have any answer for that
mysterious 'Why'.
The everyday life schedule is a
routine work and my work place is a great way to make my mood happy, seriously.
I love writing, and that's what I am doing my 9 hours on the job daily. But
still, there's something which I can't figure out myself. I tried to do some
activities to deviate myself from this thought like, watching comedy episodes,
going out with bunch of friends, shop till I drop, etc. and still it's a
temporary avoidance to my mood.
I always loved reading, so a few
months back, in one of the non-fiction books I read these lines, "be a
spirit-lifter". That's when my mind clicked and I started searching more
on this aspect. I really liked the way the author presented his views on
finding inner peace. You don't have to be victims of circumstances, but you can
own them in your way.
In fact, what's interesting to note
is that finding happiness in your current situations will ward-off your
sufferings to a great extent because you are what you are currently and that's
why it's called 'A Present'. If you just stop thinking and start believing,
it'll be a no-worry state for the rest of your life. Being lively is a beautiful
way to keep yourself fit and healthy and absolutely free from diseases. We
can't change the circumstances, but we can surely change the way to look
inside.
Sometimes, from others experiences
we learn a great deal about ourselves, and what's better than learning from
other people's experiences. There's absolutely no harm in knowing your
environment. We just need to accept the fact that not always, we will be making
the right decision, but if it is 'my' decision, I should not regret it, and
failures are a stepping stone to success.
In my personal opinion, if it's
still not working for you, you can try these few activities which you can
include in your daily routine, and see the fun part of you making space in your
body:
- Eat often and eat light. Don't fill your stomach in one go. Try to eat at regular intervals.
- Early to bed, early to rise. This is an age-old phrase, but a very apt one. It's always good to follow the concept of early sleep and waking up early.
- Go out. Staying indoors makes you lethargic and vulnerable to nonsense thinking. Instead, indulge yourself in outdoor activities. You will remain fit and fantastic
- Listen to your favorite track. Music is definitely a healer and mood enhancer. A little voice in your head always makes a positive soul.
- Aromatic environment. Studies also finds that fragrance around you indulges your all senses and automatically your mind is healed.
- Act of giving. Always try to serve the needy and see what mental satisfaction you get after it. There's nothing better than volunteering for some cause and making some efforts from your comfort zone.
- Play. Make a habit of exercising your mind and body by playing games, both puzzles and group games. This will sharpen your mind and distract you from unnecessary thinking.
