Do you always have dreamt that you would like to be the best and do always the best things in life. Do you always feel that you give your best at career, work, relationships, and maintain your health too. Do you want to be a success in every area of life i.e health, love, relationships, work, money? I am sure the answer to all the above questions is YES, YES, YES. I know because who doesn’t want to be the best! As we all know that when we give our best in life, life always rewards us.
How to be the best in every area of life?
To be the best in every area of life, you have to ‘be there’ in every area of life. I know you will find this confusing, but this is a fact. By being there, I mean that you have to be present in every area of life. In life people always are either thinking about what they want in future or fearing about something bad coming up in future or they are either whining about mistakes they did in past or things that people did to them in the past. Such that they forget the most valuable resource they have that is ‘today’. You might have done a ton of things in the past or terrible things might have happened to you in past and yet if you give yourself 100% in whatever you are doing in the present; all the loss that occurred due to your past can be recovered beautifully. And when you give your best in your present moment, future is obviously going to turn out far much better then where you are now.
Its sad that this is such a simple truth yet people take years and years to understand this. And by the time the understand this, their minds run out of their control. You might be feeling the same if you feel that usual mind chatter. And might now be wanting to know how to get rid of it.
When you initially begin thinking about past or future its not that bad, but with time the chatter increases upto an extent that you forget how to bring your mind under control and bring it to the present moment.
How to bring the mind into the present moment?
When you cry over the past, you are not able to focus in your present moment. And so your current thing whatever it is suffers a loss. You know what loss? Loss of YOU. Its doesnt have YOU in the moment. And when you dont give your mind in your health, relationships, work etc these areas will always suffer.
I dont mean that you are not doing your work, you are not eating good food or not giving time to your loved ones. I mean to say that you have to BE there when you are doing these tasks.
To be in the current moment you just need to forget your past, forgive all people from your past who hurt you or did bad to you. And if its you who did mistakes then forgive yourself.
If there’s something about the future that freaks you out then also shake off that fear or insecurities. Nobody knows what’s gonna come in future, leave it to God. He knows to handle things better. Perhaps did you ever tried to worry when you were a kid? Didn’t things get sorted out on their own? That’s the perfection of God. When you dont worry and give 100% in your present moment. You are actually said to be living. You love your childhood right, and might have innumerable ‘happy moments’ to cherish from there. But as soon as I might ask you about your memories after you grew up, you might feel there’s nothing much memorable happening since then? Why? What happened? Its just because you began taking that tons of load on your mind too.
How to stay consistently in the present moment?
When you keep thinking about past or future while going to bed, you tend to wake up with those same thoughts even in the morning. And like a lousy dog the mind again begins its work, of giving you he same old questions about past or future during the entire day. When you fall asleep again the same thoughts run. And the vicious cycle continues until you find yourself in a big hotch potch in your mind.
Try to not think anything at bed time, and just be with yourself and sleep peacefully. If you cannot do it then try putting some meditative music or alpha music until you fall asleep or even better is to listen to the sounds that are naturally coming from around your house. Or you can also try just focusing on your breath while to go to bed.
What’s the logic behind this?
Whatever you try to think, read, see, intake through all your 5 senses stays within your memory for sometime. And there is an area in your mind called critical filter that gets full after every one and a half hour to two hours. So you need to shake-off, rest or do something to make your ‘mind fresh’. After every few hours you say this, ‘I need to get my mind fresh’. Its just because when you shift your mind focus from one thing to another the old ‘data stream’ gets a break. And you feel relaxed and mind less chaotic.
If you dont allow your mind to get ‘fresh’ every few hours, your mind gets clogged and it cannot stay focused on one thing. Also giving rest to your mind when you are not working by keeping away your cellphones and other gadgets gives rest to your mind and to clear out the critical filter.
When mind is getting constant rest and time to ‘break free’ of thoughts it will stay less chaotic, and you will get lesser thoughts that irritate you. And the thoughts that irritate you are mostly about the present or future. If something about present needs attention, then work on it. Nothing is gonna happen by getting worried or freaked out.
If you keep thinking all throughout the sleep time, then that critical filter will be full with those garbage thoughts which will be still there while you wake up in the morning too. And so the chatter wont go.
So this is all from me for today, I’ll be back with more informative stuff, spiritual nutritious posts in coming weeks!
