Explore and Exhale
Sometimes you need to take out time just for yourself . Yes , only yourself . I am not asking you to work on your hobbies , read a good book or say a kind word to yourself . They are all fine and one should keep doing those things but today is different .
Take out , say half an hour , just to sit and explore . Look for a peaceful corner of your home . Sit straight in a comfortable position . Close your eyes . Listen to some soothing music for the first 2-3 minutes and then all silence . Be aware of your body , your wandering mind and your breath . Inhale and exhale deep . Feel your breath -in and out . Do you feel good while you breathe deep? If not , change your breathing pattern and let it be normal . Now do you feel better ? If not , find out for yourself which kind of breath is comfortable to you ? Continue a comfortable breathing . I know our minds have a wandering nature . Drag your mind back to focus on your breath every time it wanders .
Explore your feelings
Live your emotions
With every comfortable breath , try to explore yourself and your feelings . What is good about you and your life ? Which are the things you want to push away from your life ? What are those particular life aspects which make you happy , sad , angry , or frustrated ? Just explore all the feelings . All emotions – happy, sad, anxiety , anger , frustration , together define you as a whole . Don’t snub your negative emotions . Many a times we don’t want to accept the negativity in our life . If you feel good you can smile . Smile with your lips , eyes , or tears . If you feel sad and feel like crying , cry . Don’t consider it as a weakness .
One of the major reasons for stress is that we snub our emotions . Explore yourself and embrace your emotions . Live all those emotions your mind produces .
If your body wants to dance , dance like a mad without worrying about others . You want to sing , sing aloud without worrying about tune . Heart feels like laughing , laugh khul ke . If sadness weighs more , cry khul ke . Explore , and Live your emotions . Let this exploration itself become your happiness .
Above Exploration , with every breath you exhale , let the negativity be exhaled out of you.
Explore….
Exhale….
See what goes….
and what stays ….
