Relax!
Isn't it sad that we need to remind ourselves to relax? To stay calm? To reassure ourselves that things will be okay? Or to make ourselves see that things are, in fact, great! I guess thats the price we pay for growing up. We understand more, we have more responsibilities, and more stress. And people like me are one step further! If there is nothing to worry about, instead of enjoying the peace, I will worry about why there is nothing to worry about! There must be something that I am missing, that I have overlooked and will come to bite me later. Or I will be stressing out about how things didn't work out the way I had thought they would. Just feel down and low about the way the day went. Which is exactly how I am feeling right now. Tired, disappointed and frustrated. But I am going to follow my mantra, and am going to go home, take a nice hot bath, take a book and read it till I feel better! I am not going to think about anything else until I feel peaceful again.
Blessings...
Today I am grateful
- For the fact that nothing exactly went wrong today. Things got delayed, but nothing's quite broken
- For the fact that I am just tired, and not sick. A little bit of rest will fix this one!
- For the first lily that bloomed in my yard today :)
- For the chocolate cake we shared today at my manager's baby shower :)
- For all the help I am getting for fixing some issue at work
- For my very normal life
- For my family! I have recently heard so many stories of strange things going on, that I am appreciating my simple folks even more!

yeah - relaxing is an art which is missing from the lfie of many ppl - on teh run to achive things, pl forget to relax and let the tension out of the steme.. as my mentor Stephen sir used to say 'any machine continuesly wrked to itz full potential will break down one day'. it is very imp to relax and take in the beauty of life adn the thinsg surroud us :-D

@ceedy, arey aata hai. you just need to be aware...find your "hot-buttons" and try not to react to them. it takes time and practice, but very much possible.
@xh, u hit the nail on the head! the human machine needs to cool down, especially after a physically and emotionally draining day!
@ankur, u know what, thats exactly what my next post was gonna be about. lock your gadgets away for some time! imagine u're in stone age and think abt how you would spend your time :) chabhi ka kya kiya phir?

So true. Beautiful reminder Aneri.
These days Im so stressed out at work I get easily agitated. Last nite I came home ard 8pm, all tired and my brains fried...I just wanted to scream. Then I thought I should stop sulking and I should just relax. So I had a nice warm bath, put on my winter pjs, applied some fragrant moisturiser, lit a candle and sat on the sofa sipping hot coffe. Instantly I felt I was in a new world.
all it takes is to tell our MINDS to relax...and we shall be.
Keshi.
I seriously need to relax....i badly need tht! Hav been goin thru a bad phase from the past two days. :( :(
