To cope with a bad day

© Puneet Srivastava, Feb 2015

If you can close your eyes…

You can do them all.


Why eyes closed?


Because eyes are the most vibrant set of senses which we use to interact

with the world.


If eyes can be rested,

Mind can be calmed.


A calm mind

Is a calm you.


So, here we have:

5 techniques to cope with a bad day.


1.

Deep Breathe


Close eyes & Deep breathe

Slowly & deeply…

Firstly take air in…

& then, let it go.

Deeply &…

As slowly you can!

Do this 5 times

Feel the air go in &

Then come out…

Observe the difference it makes.


2.

Music


Put on some Music

Sit quietly; Close eyes &

Just Listen.

Allow the music to seep into you.

Let it touch you from within.

Feel it going into you and getting absorbed in there.

Experience that, slowly… &

Observe the difference.


3.

Go under water


Go under water

Shower, swim, anything!

Just let the water touch every portion of your skin.

Close your eyes & Feel that touch.

Experience slowly… &

See the difference it makes.


4.

Call upon someone who just loves u.


Is there no 1 near you?


No Issues!

Say a prayer

Visit a place of worship or just any serene place.

Stand in a quite-ishcorner…

Close eyes & Just Pray.

Pray from the bottom of your heart &

See the difference.


5.

Go for a walk/drive.


I prefer walk.

But, Hello! Here don’t close eyes.

You will find a serene spot in sometime; when that happens, stop & now close your eyes.

Feel the wind on your face.

Spread your hands if you like & experience.

Observe the difference.


But if,

There are bad days in a series…


Well then…

Practice one everyday.


Blessed Sufferings

Is what our teacher call such days.


Have faith

They may just bring u to meditation.
