A Regular Mental Exercise
Nov 26th
Unless you know yourself fully, you will never feel the taste of success though you may have accomplished a lot. It needs some silent time. Listen to your thoughts and let yourself go loose.
Have you ever studied successful people? They have one thing in common. Before the day’s work, they usually spend some time with their thought. These may be thoughts on recent failures and future steps to follow. This habit gives them more virtual time.
Success comes when you finish a project with preparation and confidence. Rehearsing the whole of the project in you mind happening step by step, facing the sudden problems give you such strength and probability that help you a lot. Tesla is an example of this process. He was reported to never start a project without rehearsing the whole project in mind first.
When you work a project through your imagination beforehand, you get prepared for the would-be problems. So, you get more confidence to do the work. As you have rehearsed in your mind, you can move forward smoothly without having too much effort. This leads to enjoyment also.
Anyone can be creative at their levels but you need to give creativity some space. How do you do that? You need to spend sometime in the morning silence. You may feel revitalized and your thought may flow in front of you on the piece of paper.
When our imagination starts flowing, we do not try consciously to make sense. So, when you write down your ideas without an effort to make sense, you may come up with newer ideas.
When you are mentally prepare how you would accomplish something step by step, you will suffer less frustration and less difficulty as well. The whole process of thinking about the issue, writing down the steps and acting accordingly make this happen.
Let this be a regular mental exercise that before you put your hand on a work, think about it. By doing this your success rate will increase and you may feel more satisfied.
Coping With a Serious Illness Through Meditation
Sep 25th
To be ill is one thing; to find out it’s life threatening is another. Yet millions of people are dying every day as diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders start to take charge of their lives.
There’s no doubt that being diagnosed with any serious illness can cause pain, trauma, depression, and anxiety. There’s always the question of whether you will get to live tomorrow or be with your loved ones for special occasions. This is also the time when you feel so hopeless and helpless. A lot of people who are deathly sick give up or even commit suicide than to wait for their moment to eventually die.
What you should learn is how to cope with your illness the best way you can. After all, what really matters is not the length of time you spend here on earth but how you get to spend it. In this case, when you are gravely ill, what you hope for is quality of life, one that is free from pain and depression and more of acceptance and even hope.
You can try meditation.
How Meditation Helps Patients
Meditation is an ancient mental exercise. It has been practiced for centuries. Certain religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism put so much importance to meditation, and they can spend hours doing nothing else but that.
Meditating is more than just a mystic process. It offers a lot of benefits. If it wasn’t so, the tradition would have not survived, and patients are some of the best people who can make the most out of it.
For one, meditation has the ability to clear and calm the mind. That means it can free you from worries and uncertainties. It also relaxes your body, mind, and soul, which is actually hard to achieve when something else is bothering you.
The process also provides quite a number of physical health benefits. It can reduce heart rate and blood pressure, making you less prone to heart attacks. It allows the proper flow of blood to different parts of the body. This means the cells can become nourished by the nutrients found in the blood. Meditation can boost the level of serotonin, which is a happy hormone. It improves your behavior and mood, as well as compels you to sleep well. Sleep is highly necessary for people who are sick. It also enhances the immune system.
Meditation works very well together with subliminal messages. Subliminal messages are often characterized as affirmations or auto suggestions. The main thrust of using subliminal messages is to change your present mind-set. Perhaps if you are currently in despair, meditation and the affirmations will change it to something of hope. For example,
I have the ability to rise above this physical ailment. I am not defined by my disease. There’s always tomorrow to provide me with hope. I am showered with a lot of love. I have the ability to accept this ailment with grace and fortitude. These subliminal messages are normally repeated during your meditation, allowing them to seep through your subconscious and form part of your new belief system.
