Pause

Did you do something that makes you feel you again?
Even if it is for 5 minutes.
Make sure you take time off from your busy day for yourself.
Is it too much to ask for?
Just 5 minutes.
To draw a flower.
To write what has been occupying your thoughts these days?
To see where you have reached after one year?
To evaluate what better you can do to make tomorrow a better day and work for it?
Try it just one time, and you will see the power of it.

As for me it’s been a long while since I posted anywhere.
I really want to continue writing on my blog,
Let’s see where it goes.

Did you ask where I was all this time?
Running

We are always running aren’t we?

When we were born, opened our eyes in this beautiful world, started crying, crawling, walking and running.

We are always running. Be it during the day, when the alarm wakes us up.
For work, back to home, running.

But when something happens in our life, which makes us pull all the breaks in emergency, and everything stops, time freezes, and we are stuck on this one page…

There is absolutely nowhere else to go. We don’t know what are we supposed to do then.

Our whole life everyone kept telling us to run faster, no matter how tired and exhausted,
To achieve more,
Be richer.

But no one suggested, what should be done when time just stops, and we are stuck in this season for a while now.

I don’t like winter because it’s freezing cold, one might not like rain because the damp eyes have not felt the sunshine for a while now.

We all might be stuck in our own seasons for a while now, not knowing what to do with this situation we have been placed in.

Slowly, we start to figure out that what happened was for a reason, and we need to make sense of this situation and move on.

How do you do that?
Well, everyone is just blindly throwing darts to make sure they hit the bulls eye and figure a way to not feel heavy and stuck.
But the truth is this phase is different for everyone and there is no one true answer.

I used to think one must just sit and be in the situation.
Instead of trying hacks and run away from it.
We must truly analyze it or meditate on it and give it a solution.

Take help of a trusted dear one or therapy if you are not able to pull yourself out of the situation.

I was at a railway station when writing this, my train was going to take one hour more to come.
I didn’t have any company. No idea what to do with the battery getting low and powerless without power bank.
That made me think of writing something.
Something I hadn’t done in a long while.

I was just in the moment and cherish the fact that I have time to just stop and think.
So if you see sometimes things are planned, sometimes unplanned.

But it is very necessary. For you to sometimes pull your brakes yourself sit and see what you have been doing for what have you been running for so breathlesly.

Sometimes these moments make you realise the importance of family and friends.

How beautiful it is to have people who love you by your side.
How amazing it is to travel solo.
You really get to know yourself a bit more.
It was quiet on that station.
I felt company amongst a few strangers just by their presence, without feeling the need to talk.

For us to become who we are we need to sit with ourselves and record the progress everday.
Maybe meditation can help you or journalling.

If you have your special routine to track your progress let me know in the comment box.

What we need to remember is that we can start walking towards the next start point, the next milestone, after we have recovered and rested fully.
To start walking our path to reach our dreams, to live a life passionately enough to have something to give to other people.
It is difficult to be satisfied. It is also challenging to improve while being satisfied with the blessings we have.

But keep walking without burning yourself out and keep resting frequently without slipping into a-comfortable-no-growth point.
It’s okay to not know everything. Its your first life anyway. My favourite quote from a kdrama called Because it is my first life.

So believe in yourself like you would believe in your person.
And take a small step towards your goal. and keep doing that everyday.
I’m sure you will reach a point where you will be proud of yourself.

Until then keep walking.
One step at a time.

Know that you are loved.
