Free yourself from your own clutches
At times, emotions arrive unannounced, like unexpected visitors at your doorstep, even before you’ve had a chance to rearrange the furniture of your life to accommodate them. These feelings might arrive when you least expect them, catching you off guard amidst the various other dimensions of your existence. Understanding and acknowledging this phenomenon can provide you with a sense of solace and tranquility. It grants you the opportunity to make sense of these emotional interludes, offering a glimpse of insight into the complexity of human experience.
I am not the first person to say this, but I believe this has to be reminded time and again. Learn to conquer yourself like the morning sun illuminating the darkest corners. Be your own sculptor and shape yourself into a masterpiece from raw stone. Your fight is to achieve nothing but your feelings and to harness those negative emotions. With this article, I want to introduce you to the magical practices that help you bind yourself together.
I am a 90s-born kid (no longer a kid now), and I have experienced the world changing drastically. That’s nothing new; change is happening in the present moment every single minute and second. This change is not easy to make, as you do not realize when the process is going through. It is similar to the growth of hair and nails. You only realize it when it’s done. This change is not in your control, but what is in your control is how to tackle it.
Most of the time, we do not realize that we are the captains of our own ships. But we forget to claim ownership of ourselves. We are mostly dependent on several distractions, which can be in the form of people, gadgets, food, materialistic stuff, procrastination, and self-loathing. All these distractions will only make our souls shallow, and we will be left with poor mental health and a poor lifestyle.
Fight your own demons. Let me clarify what demons are: overthinking, procrastination, self-doubt, comparison, assumptions, expectations, co-dependency, control, and insecurities. Filter all these unwanted feelings out of your mind and absorb trustworthiness, being in high spirits, controlling negative thinking, being self-reliant, and going with the flow.
Crush your existence and create a new version of yourself. Bask in the sun of no guilt or regret, forgive yourself for all the foolish things you have done, and realize the universe has given you a second chance. Do not fall prey to the traps you have faced earlier in life. Restart, reboot yourself, and allow yourself to start again
