THINGS TO DO DURING UNCERTAIN TIMES
In the present situation, Corona being the most serious issue, together with responsibility and understating we can win not just this Pandemic but grow much beyond that.
There would not be a single person who might not have thought or spoken about Corona for the past few days. But there is something more than this to be learnt during this tough time. The entire country is locked down, every human being irrespective of their power, position or wealth is under the shutdown. The reason behind it is not Corona but the value of human life. Many people fail to understand the lesson that nature has taught us. There is no doubt that we are living in the most uncertain times right now. My advice is not about how to eat, how to sleep or how to improve the immune system. These are the basic things that every person who wants to live a successful life needs to know and practice to grow. What I am going to share here are four important needs that every individual must do at this point of time as our duty and contribution to humanity.
PROTECT YOURSELF TO PROTECT OTHERS.
If you really want to protect others at this point of time, it’s extremely important that you protect yourself first. Protect yourself doesn’t mean you physically create a shield or a fence. It’s a fact to be accepted that the world is going to be filled with negativity in some way or the other. Make sure not to allow any sort of negativity to enter into you. So to protect yourself take full responsibility on your own self. Without this attitude, you can never protect yourself; rather you will be waiting for others to protect you. You will not get a better time than this to realise the importance of your health and the value of your life. List down all the things you need to do to protect yourself, which is the fundamental need for your future and your loved ones’ future. You should not just list it down but act upon it. Then you will be successful in protecting yourself & others.
STOP BEING YOUR OWN ENEMY
At this time of uncertainty, fear and panic situation, it’s most essential to take care of your health. When it comes to health, it’s not just the physical health but the holistic approach of physical, mental and emotional wellness. You don’t need to be the source of happiness to your family but make sure not to be a spoiler of happiness to your family at this point of time. This is the time God has gifted us time to spend with our family. It’s time for us to realise that the work we do, the money we earn etc is only to make sure that we can have a decent living with our family.When you got a chance to live with your own family, you feel it’s a shut down. In fact it’s a new opening, not in your physical world but your mental world. This is just a pause, not a stop. It is not over; it’s an opportunity to start again.
With full conviction you should be able to tell your loved ones that we can overcome Corona. The most deadly virus is fear because there is no cure for it. Stop being your own enemy at this point of time. Virus can at least be identified but your fear can never be identified unless you raise your awareness and watch your thoughts. Tell yourself that everything is going to fall in place. Spread this positivity to others as well. Now there is a new vigor and strength which will rise in your mind which will boost your physical immunity
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU CONSUME
What we consume decides the response to the body. I am referring to self-care which is the first and foremost factor at this point of time. Self-care means taking care of yourself by yourself and for yourself. This is the highest way of contributing to others. So what you consume mentally is also as important as what you consume physically. It’s important to allow your mind to clear all negativity and not consume any form of negativity. So make sure whatever you consume physically and mentally have to be taken care of by you with full awareness and with maximum effort and consciousness. I am not against any media or channels or any form of social media where fear, hatred, panic and negativity sell a lot. There is lot of negativity which will raise your fear beyond your control. During these tough times, update yourself with necessary information which is the fundamental need for you and for your family to stay in harmony and maintain a state of calmness. Stop nagging about the present situation. No channel is going to show the beauty of life. It’s not that we don’t have a beautiful world or life. It’s our responsibility to see the beauty of life. How to see the beauty of life? Reinvent your own self. Ask yourself whether you can make any difference in your own self. If the answer is yes start working on it. Then what you consume mentally will magically change. When you have time to spend with your family, see what all changes you can bring about in your behavior in order to bring happiness in your family. This is the time to tell yourself with clear decision about the differences you want to see in life. Apparently you will see positive feelings around you with all negativity being thrown out.
SPIRITUAL AWARENESS
All these advice and suggestions are easy to say but in reality one will be able to follow all these only when you have the power to connect with the inner consciousness or spiritual awareness. Spiritual awareness is not just awareness about God; it’s the awareness about God in you. As a human, your mind will have fear, doubts and anxiety at the time of uncertainty. Only with spiritual awareness you will have the ability to stay calm even during a storm. I insist you to think about death rather than life. No one wants to die; everyone wants to live longer. Now ask yourself what is the life that I want to live? If you are clear about the life that you want to live, then all fears and doubts will become the source of your own success and happiness. How? It’s because when you decide the life that you want to live, the fear and anxiety that you see is nothing but the resistance and obstacles you see for the life that you want to live. With spiritual awareness, you will have the power to tell yourself that you can remove all the obstacles that come in your way in the life that you want to live. At this point of time, this is very important and essential. Above all finding peace within oneself is possible only when you take time to experience oneness within your own self.
This is meditation. Give yourself the best of the best on these days to sit in meditation. The stillness and silence that you experience in meditation is the master key to open up a new world of opportunities. Once you sit in meditation you will automatically know that your future is going to be easier and simpler than what you thought it to be. It’s going to be more peaceful and prosperous than you ever imagined. I request and recommend everybody to kindly follow these four things, not just for you but for your entire family, to be the light in darkness at this point of time for the entire humanity. Everything is going to be fine.
These four points put together will make you realise that your life has not come to an end but for sure at some point of time, Corona will come to an end. Your life is going to begin and this time it has to begin more powerful and more beautiful than the present and the past. If you want this to happen you need to understand why you are going through this, what all you have missed in the past that you are supposed to do to face these tough times in the present. Analyzing and realising this truth will give you the power to do what you are supposed to do in the present to avoid pain and suffering in the future.
Wishing you a life of peace, success and happiness.
