Y make urself crazy
We are so bogged up with xyz.... no of activities in life that we never bother to think & make space for ourselves in our own lives... isn’t it true?????
Today, we compete for everything - the space around us, to be first to own a new product, to get our viewpoints across, to be faster, climbing up the ladder of success, getting smarter, richer, sexier ;) ur days are filled with stressful competitions and most are absolutely unnecessary. Because, they're driven by insecurity, fear of being left behind, an ingrained need to always have more or better than the next person. Try to get above all that. If you want to compete, vie to be the one who stays calm and unstressed, who isn't easily sucked in by materialistic things, who avoids being caught up in the daily grab-bag that robs people of health and peace of mind. Compete for that and see how pointless all those other competitions become, and how misguided those who partake in them begin to appear.
Our life is full of them. Arbitrary and unrealistic time constraints imposed by ourselves and others that serve only to make us more pressured, anxious, stressed out. For no worthwhile reason. Avoid the trap of assigning time frames to everything you do, especially if you have little idea how long it may take. Instead, make your goal one of completing a project in a careful, profession- al, satisfying manner. In other words, as long as it takes to do it right. Save your nerves, and your energy, for the few real deadlines we face...
Is your life fulfilling? Or is it merely crammed? Know the difference and you'll realize it's not the quantity of activities you engage in (or possessions you collect) that ultimately determine your happiness. One naturally unfolding, enriching experience can easily surpasses many rushed and distracted ones. But you may be so chronically over scheduled, you never give yourself a chance to enjoy anything to the fullest. Experiment. Choose an occasion and give it your complete, mindful and unhurried attention. Then imagine an entire life of such enrichment. It's absolutely attainable.
Give it a try!!! I haven’t tried it though ;)
