Take a pause & Smile...

Howz life? Must be fine with everyone there.

I am out there to experiment and it’s been full of positive & negative experiences for few months now. This has made me build certain good practices in life; like reading books, blogs and listening to podcast and exploring important issues including happiness in life. It has been a positive move so far and expect this excitement and positive spirit to continue. At the same time I am facing the worst perception in my life, yes you heard it correct perception; it’s only a perception that leads to unnecessary worries and complexity in life. It all started with a bad scenario at office and could lose my job. But my mind was not prepared for it as so far for last 10+years I have been in steady in my job and have enjoyed my time. But suddenly the thought of losing my job made me damn upset and reminded me of the worst time in my life when I was so depressed that I left trying to make things work for me. I was so terrified that I started thinking what people will say about me and how others will behave and think of me.  And most importantly I was not prepared for this situation and not ready to handle my mind alone. It continuously kept thinking and thinking and gathered so much negative vibes around me that I felt it’s the dead-end without an escape.

I took a pause!
Looked to my inner core and then took a deep breath, Laughed at myself. I looked around myself and found people around. Then I gave a clear idea of myself and people around me and I felt the importance of being happy myself and people who care about me and related to me who can be affected by my having a bad condition in life. For two days I was literally mad thinking and over thinking but at the same time there were people concerned for me and my situation then. It gave an inner clarity of priorities in life. I started feeling relaxed and things started to change for me. But at the same time did the situation at my workplace change? NO – it was all in mind and when I told myself that I can handle the situation, problems looked tiny reduced and the feeling itself gave a boost in my confidence. After a week I smile for the sometime this is what is important, rest everything is secondary.

Cheers!
Bring it on.

And I am thankful to my people and a bit towards internet for this.
