In many ways, the world seems to be spinning out of control.. For the past week I had an infection and I just had to go to the doctor to have it removed.. I am posting this cause I want to share how important we need to ground ourselves down in order to survive every situation.. Others may have experiences of - broken relationships, personal problems, work problems and the list goes on.. Life is a cycle.. It's just how you manage things.. And how you handle these difficult situations in life.. Yoga has been a big factor for me when it comes to dealing with these "problems" And we have to practice "some things" for us to survive.. And we can ground down..
1. Breathe into it....
2. acknowledge the problem.. See what it is.. Be calm (how? Again breathe!) ..
3. be present at the situation.. See it.. Even if it's painful..
4. Support.. Find your own support group.. Parental Units, Friends.. From God.. A song maybe.. It comes in forms.. Find it..
5. ACCEPTANCE. With support, I can come to a place of acceptance. This is the way it is: good, bad, or ugly... Acceptance does not mean resignation; it simply means looking unflinchingly at the way things are right now instead of trying to wish them away or fight against them....
6. Gratitude. Be grateful to everyone, to yourself, you're still blessed.. Be thankful that you're able to feel this way.. See things.. And eventually things on your mind will be clear.. Smooth sailing..
7. CONNECT. Connect yourself to yourself. Find your own positive energy... Start to be aware of your feelings... Shifting your feelings of pain, fear, anxiety into something positive - love.. Peace.. And Joy..
8. ACTION. Grounding yourself down. Rooting yourself down to the earth. With every storm that passes you. Stand up tall. Breathe deeply... And eventually healing comes along.
9. Let it go. Release (the negative vibes)... Let go what you are holding on.. My teacher said, avoid attachments.. Avoiding attachments to any result.. In anyway you will be successful. Mind over matter.. Everything will be okay. And lastly,
10. Surrender to Him. Find your freedom.... I've read this it says - "Sometimes we just need to wash ourselves clean of everything we have ever learned or think we know, and just surrender to the guidance of a power greater than ourselves. Surrender to your higher knowing within."
All is well. Namaste.
