Do You Spend time to look -------IN ?

More Often than not , everyone seems to be too busy involved in performing daily required tasks-the tasks demand our decision making from time to time. The decisions may be very simple as to which conveyence should I use , I should go to Hospital or Not , I should call this person or not etc etc.

Every moment the mind is busy taking various deceisions. As we do it for our Body , we give it a rest whn exhausted, we should rest our mind also. This can be done 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes each time. During the same what one has to do ? - Nothing. Surprised ? Yes - Nothing. How to do nothing? From childhood we are told to , taught to do something always. This looks very very funny. Has Saumitra gone mad ?

Try dear. Close your eyes. Cut out yourself from the world for 15 minutes. Switch of the Cell , Off Hook the landline. Nothing will happen - believe me. Now remove the pressure of performance for this time. only for 15 minutes.Forget your roles - No Father, No Manager , No Wife , No Husband ----- just nobody.

Thoughts - what to do to them ?. Let them keep on coming , dont resist. Imagine you are riding a bicycle on a slope. What do you do ? The bicycle goes on - so thoughts , you should not pedal , dont think-dont react. So the mind will be free from decision making for 15 minutes. You will feel very fresh after this resting process , like getting up in Morning.

This is Meditation. Try

Have you given your 100 % ?

Right from childhood we are taught to be overprotective about everything. Don't go to the top floor , dont enter the balcony , dont travel in night, bla bla.....

After graduation , get a safe job , get steady rises , get married to a right - (?) girl , see whether she is working . Everywhere overfocussed on ------- NOTHING SHOULD GO WRONG .

In running own enterprise also - deal with safe parties , take payments properly , dont spend on R & D etc etc etc. NOTHING SHOULD GO WRONG.

Quite rightfully so , we should prepare ourselves in direction of NOTHING SHOULD GO WRONG.

But even after that sometimes it may go wrong. What happens to me ? Panics. Stomach ulcers. High heartbeats. Consistent worries. Headaches. What to do ?

First - tell yoursekf : It's perfectly alright if the situation is not okay. It happens.Then accept whatever worst is going to happen - mentally. This will immediately relieve you from great stress. Now give your 100 % to prevent the worst from happening , without looking back & yes ....... FORWARD also. Our whole attention should be completely focussed , we should be fully involved in the work situation demands , worrying is perfectly useless.

GIVE YOUR 100 % HERE. After all whatever happens need not let you curse yourself , no need to drown into- "Something Wrong with Me" type of thoughts.

Life is a game - a test where HE (God) plays the card & looks upto you whether you enjoy the play or be miserable.

Hey ! I kept myself very coooooool today!

Today & yesterday as well , I had decided to maintain my cool , 2-3 days back ,I had lost my temper on some very minute occassions . So stupid of me ! But daily morning , I am reducing my thoughts to my dear diary.

It's done during morning , when after a deep deep sleep , our minds are empty & fully ready to face this world with chin up. I am observing - if we do not let our negative emotions be carried during the whole day with alert mind , we tend to act - as to what best can I do in a problematic situation.

See - any incidence - when it happens - causes something inside us. It may be good feeling Or Bad feeling. The incidence by itself does not matter much , but the reaction we offer to it. See- any damn thing , which is happening in our lives prompts us to do something about it. If whatever we do to it , is right the consequence will be towards a solution OR getting ahead. But if we react emotionally , the consequence may not be towards getting ahead. Simply - let us not react to the situations emotionally.

Instead try to gain some time to react. May be an hour , may be a day or two. But never try to dig answers instantaneously to a fatal challenge. The answers will come automatically from your subconcious , may be when you are playing with your kid , going out for a walk or so on.

Try this.

How I performed today

I maintained a very nice frame of mind today morning. I had decided to remain very calm & quiet, was not much a success. Morning I meditated , noon , did not. Evening went for a walk.

During a meeting session , got upset with one of my collegues. Lost my temper a little bit

How to achieve composure again ?

I believe only maintaining a beutiful mind frame one can be better & Better , isn't it so ?
