A Rough Day..!!

Sometimes we start our day with full enthusiasm and then observe ourselves doing things differently, not in a pleasantly different way. And you know deep down within you:

This is not your style of working,
This is not how you do things usually,
This is not how you respond to things,
This is not how you perceive things,
This is not how you have ever done anything,
Suddenly you have lost your quick-wittedness,
Your presence of mind is blown away.

 

And this is certainly not the way you have ever spent your day and you would even ever wish to. This day and most moments in that day are a little different, different in some way, different in the way than all of your days passed by so far, there is something that makes you worried. You want your thoughts and mind to run in a different direction, to leverage something positive out of anything you think, anything you do, anything you sense around, the way you perceive things, comprehend and respond to external stimuli and  just be back to your normale. But your thoughts are just stuck somewhere, that too unknowingly, around something unknown, around something you do not want to waste your time on and you are still there, thinking of a way to get out of it. You find yourself very ineffective and inefficient compared to what you have always been and then you realize this is not you.

I don't know if anyone among the people out there, who would ever open this link and read this post, have felt this way.

I think there is something which is troubling my mind at this moment, at this very day. I realized this as the day passed by and now I think that I need a break, I need a brisk walk out on the road and inhale some fresh, soothing & relaxing breeze, to let it seep in, rejuvenate me & my soul and make everything else seep out.

Most of the times, an evening walk or a morning one, is more than a medicine to get rid of anything and everything, to unoccupy your mind and make a fresh start again! Atleast it works that way for me, just find out something that works for you.

Music is the Food for the Soul..!!

In today's fast pace life, if someone really wants to shed off some tension and feel relaxed, then I, like lots of other people, believe that "Music" is not only an instrument for entertainment but also a medicine to the scars and wounds that we are gifted everyday by one or the other things going around in our lives. 

Especially if you tune yourself to some soothing soft music everyday in the morning, then its no less than a meditation to keep yourself fresh and calm for the rest of the day. Try and notice people who are listening to some song or some really really good music, most of them would either start tapping their fingers/hands/feet or would start singing/humming, enjoying it, forgetting all their worries and pains for that duration atleast. 

I have noticed this so many times and with so many people. 

My roommate used to sing while studying. 

The person who sits next to me in office, actually starts singing suddenly when he listens to some song using headphones/earphones or sometimes just like that :) 

Most of the people sing while they are standing in a queue..etc..etc.. 

The reason why I have put all these examples here, is to highlight the fact that, music is a boon in this modern, technical and practical world and makes routine work enjoyable... 

Try it..feel it ;)
