When you know not what to do .. take a nap or stop thought by meditating! Doing these two things breaks the patterns of faulty thinking died in its tracks. While sleeping all energy is "Reset".
Someone reminded me yesterday when my mind was running around in a circle about seemingly some major issue I was having about with my new job. I thought I was right on the brink of losing because I couldn't figure out how to resolve a work issue.
This person advised me: "When you know not what to do .. do nothing."
Well things just kept getting worse, so I turned off my cell phone, shut down my computer and shutdown my body, and mind as much as I was capable of at that time ... and went to bed. It was like 4:00 PM in the afternoon. However, I felt that as long as my mind was running rampant this was attracting thoughts of likeness to the bad one that set it all off.
Therefore, I was creating situations of likeness to itself. I did this right at a point of thinking that this contract position I just received was over no sooner then I had started, just this week.
So "Mental Reset" was required to break up the momentum I was building in a direction I did not want!
So this morning not long after awakening and doing my daily "Mind Reset" a new thought manifested about the situation and instead of me doing what I've always done in similar situations and that is just to walk away ... I did something new, and even though its to soon to tell I believe I broke a bad habit and more than likely will get a better result.
It might not amount to anymore than me feeling better about myself, but this for me is totally acceptable, and will indeed put me in a better mindset than what has happened in the past.
I recoup everyday from 2-3; silence my phone, all noise, shut my eyes and unwind!
Great advice Patricia, but don't you mean meditating rather than mediating?
Thank you. I agree with this technique absolutely.
Having a positive attitudes, trying something different, having a different mindset are all possibly can change the situation. Sometimes ask yourself, "What is the worst case scenario?" As long as you have the skills and knowledge and willing to work hard, I believe you can always land on something new and better! Everyone has bad time and bad experience. It is also a good idea to share with friends your feelings. Having it express outward rather than keep inside will make you healthier psychologically. At end of a day, try to take it easy and relax. Do not stress out because of work and make you get sick. Best of luck.
Hi Patricia, That is very true, European countries have a siesta, here in this country, we are way too focused on work for the sake of work, many people dont even get a lunch or a time to feel under the weather, regardless, that by no fault of their own they are given to gray, cold, weather, but are forced to chin up and make money to pay bills and expenses.
Love it! I need this! Thank you so much. This is gonna help me in many ways than one to succeed on a daily basis and what I go through each and every day through the good times and the bad times..you are blessed..keep helping others and it will come back to you when. You least expect it in numous ways.
Love That! I need to be reminded of this often. Especially when I am going through tough times. Like finding a job.
I so Agree.
I hire every week. Give me a call. No experience necessary. San Diego
