Breaking the daily routine – Mind Talk

Breaking the daily routine - Mind Talk

We grow up in a society which trains you all your life that you have to finish school with good grades and that you have to do your best to find a well paid job so you will be able to afford a big house.

While you are on that path does somebody care why some subjects in school are simply not your cup of tea? Everything is brought down to numbers and grades and dates. When you finally survived the school perio and you think that your life is now about to begin, you stumble into a job which chains you again. This time you are not chained to your studydesk, but this time its an office. Working 9-5 and thinking about your life. Your freedom. Your purpose. You see the clear blue sky of a warm summer day โ€“ through your office window. By the time when you will leave the office the weather will not be the same as right now in this momentย and disappointment kicks in. You may think to yourself that you lost another wonderful chance to enjoy yourย day. Your evening is already packed with your daily tasks at home and before you know it the day is over and you lie in your bed.. thinking about the next day and that everything will be exactly the same as today. Daily routine is cruel.

After you live your life like this for a while you actually start to miss out on the small joys of life. The longer this routine goes on, the bigger the things you miss. You then fall into a big and dark hole. You start to question your life, yourself and you search desperately for an exit out of the routine. You want to go back to the life full of wonder and miracle. You want to feel the freedom again. You want to make choices everyday that benefit you personally.

You listened your whole life to what other people expect from you and how your life should be lived and how it should unfold. If you were waiting for someone to hold up a huge Stopsign.. then here it is!ย download

Now is the time to change your life! Free yourself from expectations, chains and timetables which do not benefit you. You are the one in charge here. Nobody else.

I dont say drop all your responsibilities. Take your responsibilities serious. But try to change your view on the world. How? Letโ€™s pretend its a normal day on which you have to go to work. Your old mindset would be like โ€œ and again another of those days โ€œ followed by a deep sigh. You could also try to really be in the moment while you go to work. Pay once again attention to the birds singing. The warmth of the sunrays on your skin. Smile at people you meet on the way. If you give someone a smile โ€“ 9 out of 10 times you will receive a smile back. This is pure positive energy. It will lift up your mood. ย When you arrive at the office, donโ€™t think about the colleagues that really go on your nerves. Instead try to keep the positive energy of the birds, the warm sunrays and the friendly smiles you collected on your way to work. While you work your hours try not to check the clock every few moments to see if you are already allowed to go home. Try to be in the moment. Right now this job provides you the money you need to do fun stuff in your free time. Dont urge yourself to not look at the clock at all. Forbidding yourself something doesnt work anyway. Simply try to be right here in this moment. Just that. Time will fly by. Time is not existent anyway. Itโ€™s all in your head. Dont let the mood of people around you influence you. They are simply in the place where you were yesterday before you decided to change your life.

We all have tasks after work. But also those tasks can be sweetened. Realize why you are doing certain things.

If you are renovating your house, then realize that you are doing it for a reason. You do it to feel better in it afterwards. You have something to look forward as soon as its finished.

You have to fill in your taxes? Everyone has to. The universe is not punishing you. Itโ€™s simply something thats part of this reality. Do it as accurate but fast as you can. Afterwards you can proudly say that you managed it in no time.download (1)

Everything can seem different as soon as we shine a different light on it.

If you shine light on it out of a negative point of view, chances are that things will take longer, be more difficult, more frustrating etc.

If you shine light on it out of a positive point of view, theย things you have to do will not disappear. They willย seem lessย heavy. You will feel that you accomplished something. And you will have more time to do some fun stuff in life.

Life is an adventure. You didnโ€™t come into this life to work your ass off. You can here to enjoy the ride. Donโ€™t let your daily tasks destroy the beauty and the miracles that are all around you.

Itโ€™s all a question of perspective.

Will you make this day a lovely memory or do you want to stay stuck in your daily routine?

Lots of Love,
Neelah

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
