Mind your mind

The mind is like the model of the universe in your own hands. You rule the world; you are always king of your own intellect. You decide what you want to do and you go ahead and do it. You face troubles but you believe you can surpass them. And then sometimes you cant. You have the power. You have the will. If you feel strong, you fight. When you feel weak, you let go. ‘Feeling’ is the most important part of the game. And you cannot feel what you don’t want to. No one ‘makes’ us feel strong or sad or bad or small. Our mind is truly an important tool that makes or breaks us. It is extremely important to mind the mind.

When do you need to seek help?

We all have a free will. The existential theory says that we were ‘thrown’ into the world. According to this theory a lot in this world has fixed determination and purpose. Do you always see that purpose? Life is not a railway track that has to go on the pre-designed trail. There are chances to drive or walk or run or swim or even fly.You know best what you are capable of.You have the freedom to fight, but when the energies seem drained, you may be forced to give up. There ought to be nothing blocking the path to self-growth. When you see yourself bruised, it’s wise to seek help. It’s wiser to get that help before getting to the point of getting battered though.

Keep a watch…over yourself

There are times we fail to give cognizance to our emotions. We believe:

  • Our life is a ‘race’
  • We always need to be ‘strong’
  • If we are sad it illustrates ‘weakness’
  • If we don’t sleep well its just a ‘phase’
  • Fighting with our partners daily is just ‘normal’
  • Seeking or asking for help amounts to being ‘sissy’
  • Dealing with it yourself and not telling others is being ‘strong’

Several people thrive on these irrational beliefs and spend a whole lifetime wallowing in sorrow because they could not help themselves. No one else could understand and nobody offered help. Keep a watch on your moods, their swings and the impact they have on others, and how and why others’ behavior changes towards you. You need to do it for yourself. Seeking help is being strong. You need strength to stand for yourself and put your hand forward. Ego will not heal you. No one is all strong and all knowing. Everyone is human.
