Hello friends!
The most important thing in the world is the stability of the mind.
All the world-class artists, leaders, players, authors, creative persons have one thing in common in which people of different religions of the world know by different names but it means the same "Stability".
Stability means the art of keeping your mind calm/stable even in the worst of situations.
We all need peace, but those who want to do something different, want to produce remarkable work and those who don't want to live life in default mode and need peace/stability the most who want to design their life by own. This is not something that only saints or ascetics should know, but it is an art that you can learn in your field, in your life, you can find relationship, money, happiness, fame, mastery and more. This art has been hidden from the common people to date because applying it in real life can give extra-ordinary results whether we are a plumber or president peace/stability matters a lot in our life.
Right now we are all living in a noisy world where everything is just wanting our attention at all times, we are not far away from messages, notifications, news, etc. Today, anyone can disturb us whenever he wants and every time arguments and updates are roaming around us. History says that it is very difficult to control peace of mind by controlling your mind, but for the masters to believe that by dedication and instruction, we can find peace. Apart from meditation and many other day-to-day activities, we can find peace, there are 3 ways -
1. Manage your inputs -
In 1990, scientists learned from "CNN EFFECT" that 24/7 breathless media coverage, updates, and flow of information do not inspire us to do anything other than being reactive.
Today we have more and more information and entertainment available than we do not need and since ancient times our brain is built on certain patterns, it wants novelty and entertainment every time that the more we consume the information, the more our chances of survival will increase, so we spend our precious time in media dramas and distractions such as news, social media, web series, TV and others.
The American economist and cognitive psychologist says that "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". Like when we have so many options for anything, we don't live in one or two options, looking for good and options Go on watching. Which in the end wastes a lot of time and we have trouble in being stable in any one thing because we didn't train ourselves to do any one thing by stabilizing our mind. The solution to this problem can be found - Through low-information-diet.
Low-information-diet means fasting for the mind. Due to the Internet, our daily media consumption has increased a lot, in which unhealthy things such as common news, chatty news, things about the personal lives of others, and such things are told which you will get by thinking that you will not gain anything by getting that information.
People have started going to the gym to keep their body healthy, started drinking green tea, and also started paying attention to the diet, they have all control over what will go in their body, but they don't have a single control for their mind. Right now we can be manipulated by anyone from the screen we are seeing.
Right now we are living in a time where the screen is more dangerous than nuclear bomb because this screen makes people laugh, cry, feel good, and can be easily provoked against anyone. Sometimes a small notification button becomes a reason to waste our hours. Therefore, by controlling our urges and learning to ignore, we can get mental toughness and a stable mind that can work easily.
For Example, we eat only good fruit, we don't eat rotten fruit, we throw it away, in the same way, we have to apply the habit of looking at the same fruit in the information consumption. Like, before reading a blog, article, or news, the action is to be taken, in that case, our mind will become much clearer thinking than before. How often do we see that the owners of big companies always keep personal assistants for themselves because they consider their time very valuable and in such a way, whenever anyone comes and disturbs them, they will never produce great work. To prevent many such disturbances their assistants are playing a role for the gatekeeper.
There is a saying - garbage in garbage out - that means to get an Extraordinary result, we have to Keep a close watch on our input because the better the raw material is, the better the product becomes.
2. get rid of your stuff -
Mental and spiritual clarity we can achieve only when our physical things don't need our attention because the best car is not the one that we and other people can see but the best car is the one that we don't have to take care the most.
In the same way, the best clothes aren't those which are of the expensive brand but the best clothes are those in which we are comfortable.
Many times we buy very expensive things and later on to take care of that thing becomes a big headache for us as if I bought a car but I have to take care of it. So we should never buy such things with money, after which we have to serve it to keep it good. Meaning, the more things we have, we will keep thinking about them, how to take care of all the things.
Saying is that - an intelligent person makes things a slave, the same foolish person becomes a slave of things.
3. Build a routine -
Some people start questioning as soon as they wake up in the morning when to get up, what to wear, what to eat, etc. All these questions don't make our brain think anything else, so it is important to make a routine.
Our body activities will be familiar with the routine, only then our brain can relax and that monotony becomes our muscle memory.
As many times we don't know when we have reached home while walking. Anything from the past process our body muscle memory is formed which does its work because our body is familiar with muscle memory activities, our brain also can work in deep thinking.
Wherever we look, successful people have their own routine and that is also the reason for their strength. Stillness can only be achieved by meditation, it is wrong to say. The ways to achieve stability may vary, but the outcome is the same - strength, mental toughness, happiness, control over emotions, and inner peace. In this busy 21st century, it can become our unique skill, so that we can easily control any situation by thinking with clarity even in high-pressure situations.
