A lady shared her experience that how she handled her son who was always depressed. He had lost his job and his girl friend. Bad had happened but it had been fifteen years. So she started serving him old day food everyday and after three four days he was feeling bad about it. She continued. After a week, he said that he did not want to eat that food any more and he would go and eat out to get some fresh food. She smiled and did not say anything. So when he came back, she asked him how was it and he was still angry. She asked him, if he could not tolerate one day old food everyday just for one week, how his mind would tolerate fifteen years old food everyday. It’s getting rotten. He was shocked and asked what did she mean. She made him sit and said that for last fifteen years, he is waking up with the thoughts of same loss and his mind is stuck. In his life he would keep waking up with old stuff, he would not be able to have fresh thoughts. So he needs to start thinking fresh, so that his life can renew. He changed, his life changed, the way he was thinking changed.
Often we wake up with the thoughts which we had slept with and stressed out thoughts. We start our next day with same thoughts. Day by day the thoughts are old and it takes away the sunshine. it does not let the new light to enter into our mind.
So what do we have to do?
Declutter our thoughts
Declutter our physical space
Let the new sunshine come and enter
We need to open our space of mind and room for fresh air and sunlight
Start putting new thoughts, new ideas. Have something to look forward to everyday.
If you have lost something to look forward to everyday, you would lose interest in life because then life will become boring. It does not have to be big. It can be as small as going for a movie, walk or friend or writing something new. Bring in that freshness. Bring in some new preparation in life. You will see how beautiful, happy and rocking life you have. Make it interesting. Make it happy. Make it new.
