Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone .
The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak of this negativity.
Red zone of thoughts is when a lot of negative emotions pile up in your mind .
Convert your zone of thoughts – from red to green
With your efforts you can convert your zone of thoughts -from red into an orange and then a green zone . Yes you can ! Don’t doubt . It can not be said on sure basis that you would not bounce back into red zone . You may . But with practice you can learn to bounce back quickly to green zone again .
Here are ‘Zoning Out’ and other tips :
Zoning out
The best way to come out of the stressful situations is to Zone Out . To zone out means dissociate oneself from a situation or stop paying attention to it . We have built many zones for ourselves in Life – comfort zone , success zone , work zone , fitness zone , family zone , money zone or happiness zone .
Different zones may give us different kind of positive or negative emotions . We need to zone out for sometime so as to not let these weigh heavy on us . Focus your thoughts on something else – you may start reading a book of your choice , cook a dish you relish , take a nap , play a game with your child , play sudoku , or go for a small walk .
Zoning out can prove beneficial if done at the right time . You would come back with an extra energy , a solution to your problem , and a happier mind free of any virus .
Explore yourself
Chances may be that you yourself have created red zone of thoughts inside you . Nobody else is infecting you with anger , hatred , jealousy or stress . It’s the way you perceive the things . You need to be reflective. Analyze if you are spending unnecessary time and energy of yours on what others think of you . Explore yourself and your emotions
Is your mind tied up to people’s opinions ?
Time to Loosen up .
Go Slow
Too much rushing can intoxicate your life . Live by your duties in your family zone or work zone but not at the cost of complicating your comfort zone . Remember your happiness zone is the one which matters the most .
Go slow – drive slow to your workplace , don’t be in a hurry while cooking or eating , no quick need to finish reading the book you started , it’s enjoyable to look at the beautiful nature . Time management plays a vital role to help you Go Slow .When you are saved from the rush of life , your mind gets self regulated and you are saved from the the virus infections in thoughts . ‘Go Slow’ makes you practice patience and helps you to remain away from red zone of thoughts .
Nobody’s asking you to stop . Just slow down .
