The way life has become in this age of fast change, in spite of so many comforts, we feel some kind of pain, discontentment. This is an attempt to analyze and help myself to come out of it with the help of sister Shivani. I try my hand at reproducing what sister Shivani has to offer in her self help management series.
What actually happens in our day to day life is- we face different situations, small/big in both professional and personal life. It may be as small as your house help not arriving without notice, getting stuck in a traffic jam or much more serious as separation, relationship breaking, loosing a job or worst death of a loved one !
What is common in all these situation? It is the change, change from the state we get so used to !
Our general response to any of the situation is - discomfort, pain, to a different extent for different situations. Our ability to handle the situation dwindles down when we are in pain. The situation appears much more serious and big than the actual when we are in pain.
Why this happens? Because we focus too much on the problem/situation, which most of the times, is out of our control !! Instead, if we focus our attention on the solution or even better our own response to the situation, we shall fare much better. This is where, we need to work mostly on.
My response to the situation is the key point to ponder over and start with !
A nice thought I read this morning
Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated- Confucius
