Have You Read This In Times Of India?

 

We need information that triggers inside us our dormant potential. We constantly look for that information. What we look for, we find it in our environment.

For last few days, life was going tough. Somehow my consciousness was clouded with negative expectations and was vibrating at a frequency that was not taking me closer to the life I always wanted. Unknowingly, I think, I was trapped with emotional turmoil and resisting the experience that was unfolding inside me.

Then, today, I came across this article in Times of India. It is written in a simple, short paragraphs telling various aspects of how life can be turned into a Good Life. I found that article very timely for me to change my perspective. I knew things but was not implementing them!

The article also quotes some well-known persons who share their understanding about how to make your life good. To name few of them are Deepak Chopra, Pritish Nandy, Shobhaa De, Chetan Bhagat and others.

The good thing about the article is that it covers almost all the most important ingredients to make life good and resourceful. I want to add words to some of those. These I have found very much related to my own life and learning.

Importance of Sleep

As I always tell to my clients that like air, water and food; good night sleep is essential for us to live happily. Almost one third of our life is spent in sleeping, yet most of us don’t take that part of our life seriously. In the world that is focused on work and output you create, having a good night sleep is a waste of time for some. Working for long hours at the expense of sleep is considered a quality of a hard-working and committed person!!

Sleep provides our brain and body the needed rest. It is the time when assimilation and adaptation of various functions takes place. If you are constantly sleep-deprived, then chances of catching health issues (both physical and psychological) are more.

Author Judith Orloff loves sleeping. In one of her books (Emotional Freedom), she talks about how choosy she is when it comes to select her mattresses, pillows and bed sheets. It is because sleep is the time when you have more chances for your intuitions to surface into your consciousness. The conditioned mind is at rest and the spiritual messages can easily be accessed by yourself.

Working on One’s Own Self

Another very well said point is about working on one’s own self. Living life for others at the expense of your own needs is not a way to create a resourceful life.

I don’t advocate being selfish here. Very far from it. I tell that paying attention to one’s own requirements needs to be the primary focus. Unless you are happy with life, living for others may not be very fulfilling and helping. No one can give others happiness if the one who is giving lacks it.

Giving

I have myself experienced this as having a very profound impact on my own self-esteem. When you learn to gracefully give your belonging to others, you learn to detach yourself from material possessions of life. That in turn frees you up from worries and insecurity.

You also feel grateful about the fact that you are capable of providing support and help to the needed. The part of yours feels satisfaction that can not be described in words. The experience is a real enlightener.

I thank and appreciate Anuradha Varma for writing such an article. I thank the universe to take me to read that one very timely and change my state of being. If you look for something, you shall find evidences, help and resources for the same! My this belief is reinforced. This is true for anything. Choose what you are looking for.
