Thinking before we speak!

Many a times we have landed ourselves in difficult situation or difficult phase of a relationship by just uttering words without thinking. We may end up hurting our loved ones.

The most important thing to realise here is that if someone is having a lot of negative impact then its you yourself!

After yelling or maybe simply after having an unhealthy argument or debate with the other person have you ever felt that you have lost all or most of your energy and you feel fatigue , restless and irritated. You may also end up feeling less focused for the rest of the day. Not just the energy of mind and body gets exhausted sometimes we may end up losing our ethical values and self respect after an impulsive reaction that might have been totally unnecessary.

After all these unpleasant situation if at all we get something then its

-          An angry mind(spoiling our peace of mind)

-          Regret

-          Frustration

Busy, Frustrated and Stressed? - Art Of Management


Having said that,

its also important to have a look on how are mind is clever enough and tries its best to tempt us to do something that may sound like a temporary satisfactory action but is a disaster in the long run.

Therefore its rightly said that “ You either control your mind or it controls you”

Now,

Here is where meditation comes in.

For most of us meditation may sound as sitting in a “sadhu” posture for like hours and doing nothing! But meditation is actually a state of mind which when achieved can do wonders in our everyday lives ,our peace of mind our focus and our decisions in life.

We can actually practice meditation in simplest activities even while eating, while listening to someone while staying quiet and observing. The only thing to be kept in mind is you have to be present then and there with 100% focus.

Small habits such as watching TV or talking too much while eating, just doing a lot of stuff together at one time etc is something that we unconsciously develop over time and do not realize that we are doing nothing but just making our mind habitual of distractions by actually practicing distractions!!!

That’s true that our mind is what we make of it. If we have trained it to be distracted till now…training it to be focused and calm is also possible right!!we just need to keep a very strict check on ourselves for at least a month or s o.

 Drop in the Ocean - Beyond Horizons

                                                  “Every drop in the ocean counts”

Lets take up 21 day challenge and let it something as simple as brushing your teeth! Just try to focus on it at that particular moment.

A challenge that with our own soul and a fight with our own mind is the biggest challenge ever dealt and biggest fight ever won. Here is when these lines of Rudyard Kipling come in my mind…….

 

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;  -

The dictionaries and general public opinions have defined radicalisation as an extremist ideology towards anything and everything, say, religion, situation, society or sect of people belonging to a particular group. You would be wondering that what made me think or write about this topic which is highly sensitive and subjective in nature and might also result into severe disagreements and difference of opinions if talked about openly in public, but I feel that it should be discussed and should be brought to our attention especially during these times when one social media post holds an extremely surprising power to change people’s mind or to rather trigger people’s minds. Initially, I used to think about this mass destruction tool called radicalisation as an issue of a group of people having similar mind-sets and used to believe that those people are born that way, i.e, triggered and manipulated in every way possible but after researching and developing a keen curiosity towards underst

A glimpse of life these days!

Surprisingly, 2022 brought a lot of firsts in my life in various different ways. Some of which became best memories and some became best lessons!. The best part was that each of them had something to offer to me!  Life has almost been a rollar coaster in the past few months. It is surreal when life makes you realize that nothing is permanent, whatever given, can be taken back in a blink of an eye.  While I have been going through such stormy days, I decided to take a pause and write down a series of blogs that describes my life experiences after coming to Noida. This blog will be the first one which will talk about few of my experiences so far. It makes me feel numb when I think of my innocent self who stepped into a metro city for the first time ever, only to welcome a whole new box of learnings and thunderbolts that life had to introduce to me!  In the first few months I felt as if life had gifted me all the freedom of the world and I could travel, cook, dance, read and even go out w
