Stressful day.
Nothing seems to be going right.
Right from early morning, a stomach that screams pain. But I have a meeting with client, need to go and “pick up the pieces” for boss as he is not around… in the end my responsible self took charge and decided that I had to face the angry client despite everything since I am the person in charge.
I had a long day full of trials and tribulations. But in the end, I told myself… I am being tested. Nothing can get me down. Nothing! I just have to manage my emotions and keep everything in check ( it’s perfectly ok to feel frustrated and all ) at the end and focus on the objective ahead ( amidst rants and curses…Â though it is more helpful to take deep breaths… )
And so my day ended on a bright note even though I realy wanted to go for yoga class to destress but could not make it as I was caught up with work. How? I just made a mental note to myself to say it’s ok and I was somehow meant not to go for class tonight and I focused my mind on my other tasks at hand instead. And it worked.
The power of the mind!
Ah… and om~
you have just practiced ‘pratipaksa bhavanam’. the practice of controlling the mind to cultivate opposite thoughts (replacing a negative thought for a positive one), moving from reacting to choosing…
yo babe! Happy Birthday! WOOOO!
