Heal Yourself Everyday

by Neha Singh

Do you often you feel things are out of our control, as if your mind is cluttered - cluttered with pain, anxiety, anger, tears, expectations and heartbreaks. And then even if the tiniest of thing goes wrong, you get irritated and lose control of yourself. Here's how to deal with such a situation?

Keep everything aside

Yes! Just keep everything aside. Forget that you need to rush to your office, hurriedly cook food for your family or have to prepare for that important meeting.Rather just sit in a peaceful place and let your mind relax. Deep breathing is usually recommended. But with personal experience I would suggest just going on a walk or relaxing in your garden will do wonders. It is like fresh air will be released into your brain washing away all thoughts.

Set your priorities right

What exactly are you looking for? What is your present goal? Have you ever thought on these lines?

It is high time you start thinking about it. Instead of running after things and people who are not going to have much influence and importance in your life, think about things and people who need you, who love you... work towards making them happy. But when you do this, do not ever compromise on your own happiness and feelings.

As long as you do not give priority to your own self, no one else seriously will.

I know that this is one thing which is very easy to say and difficult to do. Brain is a very funny organ. You train it for a couple of days to neglect something and it gradually adapts to it. There are many of us who think that they cannot have control over their thoughts.

The fact is you can have control over your thoughts. You just need to keep a watch. The moment you are thinking of a person or a thing which upsets you - you can do one of these 2 things

Take one step at a time

Decide if the problem can be fixed? If yes take all the steps possible to fix the problemIf the problem cannot be fixed, then just let it go. Few things take time and get better on its own. You do not have to brood over it, just LET IT GO

Instead of straining yourself, just start with little things. Be it your home chores, office work or working on personal relations. Be slow, be gradual. You will be amazed with the kind of relaxation that you experience. And then gradually all the chaos will fall into order. It is only when you try to rush over things that you get anxious and get panic attacks.

And above all find time for yourself every single day. Your mind and your body are the two things which will be with you until the end of your life. And why is it that they fall in the list of most ignored things? Once you start spending time on your body and mind - you will see that it will gradually start healing of all the pain, anxiety and negative thinking. For once, give yourself the priority which it deserves and see how things will start improving in your life.
