> A minute for yourself
Bookmark topic
A minute, that's 60seconds, not a very long time. Yet, how long has it been since you've spent a minute reflecting? We're so caught up in our work, so lost in the material world. A lot of us become annoyed at the slightest touch. We're caught in a predicament, we don't like what we're doing, yet we can't not do it.
We walk down the streets, earphones plugged firmly into our ears, eyes looking but not seeing, talking but not speaking. We're hiding in ourselves.
You are facing problems, you can't see the solution.
Stop, take a deep breath. You've probably spent a little less than a minute getting here, so spare yourself another minute.
Feel the air flowing into your lungs, take full breaths instead of the shallow breaths you've become accustomed to. Close your eyes and try to recall the last time you were really happy. Take a minute for yourself.
There, does it feel better?

Heh... Come on now, if you actually took 6hrs to reflect, you can't be that bad, seriously. You just need to work on the negative things that you have realised about yourself. I ain't a saint either, i sometimes wish i did a lot of things differently, and maybe didn't do some of the things i did, but regretting won't change the past. I also realise i'm saying this more to myself than to you. Heh...

Thats so true....we really do need to examine ourselves much more closely and take a good look at ourselves in the mirror (really look not just stare) and reevaluate our lives.

I heard something like this on the radio, we're so occupied with our busy lives, and when not doing that we've got our iPods on, etc.
It recommended spending some time just lying down, no music or anything on, just time to yourself to think and reflect on things.
I'd also recommend a good brisk walk too, I find that helps me too, or a nice long bath. Relaxing, apparently one of the best times to do some thinking!

Hmm. . We often tend to focuss the external world. Then ofcourse it is good to focuss within ourselves for some time. That in due course leads to find out the purpose of our birth.

Nice to know there are still plenty of people who do reflect from time to time. It does give us a sense of direction in our lives when we feel lost. Cheers people!
