Growing old with time!

For last couple of days, I've actually been quite caught up with various commitments at home & work. May be I was stressed out so much that I'd been into arguments more than normal. I kept trying to reason out where the problem lies for long until a self realisation dawned on me.

May be each one of us are right in their own way. Rather we all are. God has created us differently with different capabilities & different mindsets. But this doesn't mean that argument is just natural to happen all the time. Rather it becomes unnatural when people keep fighting over every issue. So, that's the time when we all must realise that we NEED TIME & SPACE for ourselves.

We must give to time & space to ourself. But it seems Time is what we don't have!!! So what next? So we then start looking for time.....few simple things that made me take out little time for myself, might work for you as well:

- Let the first half an hour at your workplace be yours, when your mind can not only settle down in peace but plan for whole day as well. It's very important to give some breathing time to your mind when it changes physical environment. The day I don't give my mind some breathing space, it gets stressed! So I better do it.

- Cut down 10mins of your lunchtime to take a short walk or listen to music or may be dance away few steps. Our mind needs to relax & do whatever it feels like. Let it do whatever it feels like for those 10mins. Only then can it think of effective solutions to various problems, disconnects, even various arguements.

- Look at 'Best Fit' approach. I couldn't fit 'picking my niece from school' to anytime I wanted to but I could surely fit 'shopping for vegetables' in the evening, at the end of other jobs . This not only helped me to get groceries on time but also helped me take a chill out stroll for sometime in the evening when I'm tired after work & don't feel like doing heavy duty jobs. May be I need to look at my list of Do's everytime to find the 'Best Fit' everytime. Afterall, practice makes perfect.

These days, I'm into realisation mode. I now feel that I'm learning with time. May be that's what people call maturity or growing old with time!
