Today`s society is going too fast. It seems like a never ending race. You may feel overwhelmed by all the craziness going on around you. You feel like you need to take a break. Yet it is hard to just let go.
Learning to relax is an art in itself. In order to relax you need quiet and you need no disturbances of any sort. That`s why sleep is very important. Sleep deprivation can lead to basic exhaustion and it is known to lead to brain damage if you`re not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Apart from sleep you can use aromatherapy and drink herbal tea. Taking a nice long bath, like I said in a previous article, is also a great way to relax.
But, above all, be prepared to deal with problems. In time. If you let problems hanging for too long, they will become bigger with time. For me, right now, the biggest issue lays with the side effects from the medication I`ve been taking. The problem is that I`m kind of overweight. To my pleasant surprise I`ve begun to lose of the weight lately - which is totally nice. The solution was to be more active. I`m even not talking about sports!
I started doing much more things daily. Even being in front of my computer has become a whole different experience. It is more about the journey now - not just about the result that matters to me. I wasn`t like that before. I realized my psychological barriers were due to many factors such as my close relatives and my not so perfect relationships with them. I said to myself "I can`t stand to be the victim anymore. I was thought - all my life - to be the victim. I`m tired of this role."
My advice? Listen to your intuition - if something doesn`t feel quite right, no matter what it is, don`t do it. I wish I could turn back time and say this to myself nine years ago. But then again, everyone makes mistakes. And if it isn`t for those mistakes, we wouldn`t learn the lessons in store for us.
As I`m relaxing now, listening to music, thoughts of the past come at me at fragments. They seem both distant and as if they happened yesterday. But above all they seem familiar. You may feel the same regarding fond memories. At one point I wanted to forget my bad memories but that`s not possible. Fully embracing who you are as a person means you admit and are responsible for your flaws. There is no better healer and teacher than yourself. Peace comes from within. As an adult in almost of my mid 20s I can say that I haven`t succeeded much in anything more than understanding myself. And yet, sometimes, even I find myself surprised by some of the decisions I`ve made. To be honest, one of my biggest mistakes and at the same time the best thing about me is the ability to burn brindges. I stopped communicating with a lot of people during the years. Some of them were bad, some not so much. But it`s a pretty damn good way of getting rid of negative influences.
I really regret some of the things I`ve done. But at least it is nothing fatal. It could have been, though. For example, when I was kind of alone during my teenage years (my mother was in a hospital) and I was left alone with my dad, I got involved with really bad people. This almost lead to my complete ruin. I almost died. I`ve never told this to anybody. It`s hard for me to speak about it. I can only write about it.
Today, I`m glad that I`m alive. Ghosts from my past tried to come after me before. This year I won`t let them. And I know I`ll manage to do that because I`m changed now.
