My one week holidays.
I felt the heavy heart for me to go back work. My holidays will be ending soon. Along this holiday week, I am making full used of them. In this holiday, it seem for me that I am having self retreat for myself. I do meditation, prayer, reading and rest. It was a wonderful holiday for me to recharge myself from all the hectic work. Somehow, even in my holiday, there was some people message me about work. That’s why the reason, I switch off my phone and only used my phone when necessary. I do not want to entertain others about work. I am now holiday, so I need to fully used my time with myself and not thinking about my work.
During a week of holiday, I realized the taming the mind and transformation of the mind. I noticed myself that all this while before, I took holiday, I feel the stress and burden of work in me. Actually the problem liaised within our mind and that’s why the main things I notice while I am meditation quietly in my room. The mind whom makes us feel stress and exhausted. When we try to clear out our mind by doing cleansing of the mind than we will see that all the problem actually can be solve and be look upon.
I realized that when problem or difficult task that seems for me that could not do and impossible for me to do but somehow, I try and do them and it can actually be done. That’s is one of my secret achievement that I have ever done. Aside from that, I also afraid of exam or test and yet few days back I manage to do my test and yes I breakthrough my fear of exam or test. Therefore, from that day onwards whenever I feel that the task is difficult to do and feel impossible, I will take a break and take time for me to relax and than go back to my work.
This is because when I am on the stage of panic and fear, I cannot do any good task and instead the task will be turn out upside down and hire wired. Therefore, whenever I feels that task is difficult, I will try to tell myself I need sometime for me to cool down first. During the holidays, I also keep pondering on myself that if the job that I am doing is it that I want and will I get anything from the job? Somehow, what I get is about mind transformation and monitor about my mind. Taming my mind is very important. All works and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.
During the week of retreat, I also realized the mind is very important. When I feel that it is impossible, but after I manage to done it, than I told myself after all it can be done thou. The mind that tells us that we cant or the mind somehow want to protect us, that’s why refrain us from doing it. If I keep doing and try my best than the task can be done after all.
Therefore, mind is very important and how we keep clean our mind is also important. That’s why there is meditation, chanting, motivational quotes, etc is to cleanse our mind and make sure our mind is healthy and strong. Everything come from our subconscious mind. Although I am not psychiatrist or psychologist but with the basic fundamental Buddhism course I am taking now, more or less did teach and guide me on the mind cleansing and the power of the mind. Be strong in mind and you will be healthy throughout your day.
