Our minds and bodies

Hi again! Hope you are doing fine!

Today I wanted to talk you guys about something that we should all value and take care of these things since they are what allows us to feel how we feel. One day we may feel on top of the world and the next day might feel like you have hit rock bottom. One day you may feel like you are wanted in your community and the next day you feel like you are invisible. We all have those days, and we all need to remember we need to do what is best for ourselves. Our mind and bodies should be treated with care because we don’t know how much they can do for us , until they get damaged. You may be thinking what is she trying to say? What I am trying to say is that we forget that our minds are always at work , either worrying or getting nervous and excited. Our minds are always at work and we don’t even know it.

So, its important to give it rest as well as treat it with care. When you are having one of those highest moments of your life, feel accomplished with what you have done, and when you are having those rock bottom moments think of how you can reach it if you be calm, treat your mind and your body with care and listen to your mind before you make your decisions. When we get into certain situations we often act under  pressure and make bad choices but we can always remember and train our minds to keep our cool (something which I haven’t yet mastered) in order to make the right decisions for ourselves. You have the power and the choice to how you want to live your life.

We can practice while exercising , remembering to keep our cool and pushing ourselves further and further to get better and better. As well as in our school or work lives, where we can always grow as learners by pushing ourselves to think deeper and work harder in order to expand our knowledge as well as grow as a person. When we are in situations where we need to use these skills we can because we know how to. Trust me, you may be thinking “Ha , sure mindfulness can help me get into Berkley or Harvard”. But it does help and you don’t know until you try it 🙂

An example of when you can use this; when you are in class and everyone seems to be laughing about something but you don’t know what until you realise its you. Instead of getting annoyed at them and showing them you give in, you can always remember to stay calm and focused on what you came to school for to learn. In these situations is when we learn the most about others and ourselves. You learn that you are strong enough to overcome these situations and show them you are not bothered. But if you are you can always let them know what they are doing is wrong. I always feel that even though the number of times your teachers say school is a safe place to be who you are, I feel insecure of who I am because of how the class might react. Until I realise I have a choice to keep feeling scared and insecure or be who I am and not care about how others may react. It sounds hard, I know, but is that how you want to waste your time? Worrying about how they look at you when you could be learning ? Although the feeling of insecurity never really goes away completely, you can always surround youreself with people who make you happy and surround yourself with people who feel you can be YOU. Don’t let the hate get to you or don’t let the pressure get to you, because you are beautiful person and you deserve a beautiful story and you can choose how to write it but remember that you can always change the plot of the story but never the person writing it. Be you, and be happy.

Thanks for taking your time out to read this 🙂 Hope you have the great rest of the day!
