Slowdown!
There are enough reasons to take matters into your hands. We all struggle to
make ends meet which are not essentially just the financial aspects. There are
multiple dimensions to what we have to offer to the world and, most
importantly, to ourselves.
If we don’t pay enough attention to ourselves and be always engulfed in
outwardly projections, we would continue to struggle. We would repeat the same
patterns of anxieties driven by the need of validations by others. These
ripples of deja-vu would always take strides to make it to the head and poison
it, slowly & steadily but surely. The nudge would last as long as we
continue to tread this path of limited outwardly world.
The only solution lies through a conscious slowdown, getting away from the
horse of constant hustle and letting loose to further control down the line.
Right at this moment, we’re probably too stuck up in the only ways of life that
we know and are familiar with. We have been living this way for probably as far
back as we could stretch our memories. Slowing down would entail you to give
your senses, of looking at the world and ultimately your life, a reset in their
sensitivities. Then there are is time to observe in this calm to identify
patterns and various triggers. Writing can help a lot; it can provide your
thoughts a solidity and keep them in front your eyes and then may provide you a
way to look at them then to just think about them in your head. This can be a great
platform for getting things out of your mind and see it writing in a piece of
paper and then take actions if necessary, to neutralize threats.
These threats do provide a great avenue of identifying opportunities to controlling
your life without being always in a heightened sense of the need to control it.
Ultimately this act is like trying to hold sand in your fist and expect it to
stay there as you tighten your grip; doesn’t work, does it?
Amending and enhancing the experience of your life is a continual process
and requires constant positioning and repositioning. This positioning and
repositioning entails that you don’t go berserk and stay in the right sense of
mind and body. It is, thus, important to do what you do to keep the corrections
coming, to keep the elated sense of being, to keep your sanity, to contribute to
the society you live in and to be able to give back all the love that you have
the potential of to your family and friends.
