उर्दू बह्र पर एक बातचीत : क़िस्त 59 [ बह्र-ए-"मीर" ]

  उर्दू बह्र पर एक बातचीत : क़िस्त  59  [ बह्र-ए-मीर]

[ कुछ मित्रों का आग्रह था कि कुछ ’बह्र-ए-मीर’ पर एक चर्चा की जाय} अत: यह आलेख प्रस्तुत किया जा रहा है]

आप को शायद याद हो जब ’बह्र-ए-मुतक़ारिब’ के औज़ान की चर्चा कर रहा था तो निम्नलिखित 2-वज़न की भी चर्चा की थी

[क] मुतक़ारिब मुसम्मन असरम मक़्बूज़ मक़्बूज़ सालिम अल आखिर

 फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ऊलुन

 21------121-----121-----122

 [ फ़े’लु [21] ----मुज़ाहिफ़ असरम है ’फ़ऊलुन [122] का

 [ फ़ऊलु [121] ---मुज़ाहिफ़ मक़्बूज़ है ’फ़ऊलुन[122] का

 यह रुक्न मुसम्मन [8 रुक्न एक शे’र में] है और इसका ’मुज़ा अ’फ़ [ दो गुना ] भी संभव है -यानी 16-रुक्नी अश’आर भी कहे जा सकते हैं इस वज़्न पर

 यानी मुसम्मन मुज़ाहिफ़    होगा   क // क  दुरुस्त है

[ख]   मुतक़ारिब मुसम्मन असरम मक़्बूज़ मक़्बूज़ महज़ूफ़

 फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ अ’ल

 21------121-----121-----12

 [ फ़ अ’ल [12] महज़ूफ़ है फ़ऊलुन [122] का

 यह रुक्न भी  मुसम्मन [8 रुक्न एक शे’र में] है और इसका ’मुज़ा अ’फ़ [ दो गुना ] भी संभव है -यानी 16-रुक्नी अश’आर भी कहे जा सकते हैं इस वज़्न पर

 यानी मुसम्मन मुज़ाहिफ़    होगा   ख // ख  दुरुस्त है

 तब   क  //   ख क्या होगा ?-

-यह वज़न जो किसी का ’मुज़ाअ’फ़’ नहीं होगा । न [क] वज़न का ,न [ख] वज़न का -मगर होगा 16-रुक्नी बह्र ही।

यही बह्र-ए-मीर है ।

 कैसे ?

 यह नाम शम्स्सुर्रहमान फ़ारूक़ी साहब का दिया हुआ है जो उचित भी है। कारण कि क्लासिकल अरूज़ की किताबों में ऐसी कोई बहर न थी जो दो मुख्तलिफ़ वज़न से दो मुख्तलिफ़ हिस्सों से बने हो।

मीर तक़ी मीर ने अपनी बहुत सी ग़ज़ले इसी बह्र में कहीं है ।अत: लोगों में यह बह्र इसी नाम से   जानी-पहचानी जाती है । अमेरिकन आलिमा मोहतरमा Frances W.Pritchett -साहिबा ,.शम्स्सुर्रहमान फ़ारूक़ी ,डा0 आरिफ़ हसन ख़ान आदि कई विद्वानों ने ’मीर’ की शायरी पर बहुत काम किया है। फ़ारूक़ी साहब तो ख़ैर स्वयं  में ही एक उर्दू साहित्य के महान प्रामाणिक समीक्षक हैं ।

अब  क//ख को विस्तार से देखते है

 मुतक़ारिब मुसम्मन असरम मक़्बूज़ मक़्बूज़ सालिम अल आखिर //मुतक़ारिब मुतक़ारिब मुसम्मन असरम मक़्बूज़ मक़्बूज़ महज़ूफ़

 फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ऊलुन  //फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ अ’ल

 21------121-----121-----122     // 21------121-----121-----12

 नाम इतना लम्बा हो गया तो उसे संक्षिप्त कर के  अब आगे से मीर की बह्र या बह्र-ए-मीर ही कहेंगे

   बह्र-ए-मीर

 फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ऊलुन  //फ़े’लु---फ़ऊलु---फ़ऊलु--फ़ अ’ल

 21------121-----121-----122     // 21------121-----121-----12

इस वज़न को ध्यान से देखें तो बहुत सी बाते आप को स्पष्ट हो जायेंगी

[1] इस वज़न का  पहला हिस्सा  और ’दूसरा हिस्सा’ लगभग समान है । बस दूसरे हिस्से में एक ’सबब-ए-ख़फ़ीफ़’ कम है । यानी पहले हिस्से में  ’मात्रा भार" 16 और दूसरे हिस्से में 14 है

 [उर्दू शायरी मात्रा से नहीं अर्कान के वज़न से चलती है -बस समझने /समझाने की गरज़ से लिख दिया]

[2] दो -consecutive रुक्न में कई जगह  --तीन मुतहर्रिक- एक साथ आ रहे हैं अत: इन पर ’तख़्नीक़’ का अमल हो सकता है । मैं समझता हूँ कि तस्कीन और तख़्नीक़ का अमल आप समझते होंगे। जो पाठकगण अभी अभी इस ब्लाग पर आये हैं उनक्र लिए संक्षिप्त रूप से एक बार फिर बता दे रहा हूँ । ’किसी ’मुज़ाहिफ़ बह्र’ में यदि दो-consecutive रुक्न में ’तीन मुतहर्रिक हर्फ़ ’ एक साथ आ जाये तो बीच वाला मुतहर्रिक हर्फ़ ’साकिन’ हो जाता है और एक नया वज़न बरामद होता है} और इस नए बह्र और पुराने बह्र -दोनो का वज़न बराबर होगा और आपस में ’मुतबादिल’[ यानी आपस मे बदले जा सकते है] होगा----मगर शर्त यह कि बह्र न बदल जाए।

इस तख़्नीक़ के अमल से आप जानते है कि कितने "मुतबादिल औज़ान" बरामद हो सकते है ?

पहले हिस्से से   16 औज़ान

दूसरे हिस्से से भी   16 औज़ान

अत: कुल मिला कर ३२ -औज़ान। आइए देखते हैं

--------पहला हिस्सा--------------//------- --------दूसरा हिस्सा---

[A]     21----121---121----122                      [I]   21-----121---121---12

[B]     21----121---122----22                        [J]  21----121---122----2

[C]  21---122---21-----122                          [K] 21-----122---21---12

[D] 22---21---121-----122                           [L] 22----21------121---12

[E]     21----122---22-----22                       [M] 21----122----22-----2

[F] 22----21-----122---22                            [N] 22-----21-----122---2

[G] 22----22-----21-----122                        [O]  22-----22-----21----12

[H] 22----22-----22-----22                          [P] 22----22-----22----2

मिसरा के पहले हिस्से में--

 बज़ाहिर -अरूज़ और ज़र्ब मे 4-रुक्न तो सालिम फ़ऊलुन [122] पर गिरेगा

और  4-रुक्न  फ़े’लुन [22] पर गिरेगा अरूज़ और ज़र्ब में -फ़ऊलुन [122] की जगह इसका मुस्बीग़ मुज़ाहिफ़ ’फ़ऊलान[1221] लाया जा सकता है और फ़े’लुन [22] की जगह फ़ेलान [221] भी लाया जा सकता है  जिसे  अगर कहीं ज़रूरत पड़ी तो क्रमश: a--b-c-d-e-f-g-h से दिखायेंगे

उसी प्रकार ,मिसरा के दूसरे हिस्से में :-

अरूज़/ज़र्ब में 4-रुक्न तो ’फ़ अ’ल’ [12] पर गिरेगा,और 4-रुक्न ’फ़े’[2] पर गिरेगा

अच्छा ,पहले हिस्से की तरह --दूसरे हिस्से में मिसरा के आख़िर में -एक- साकिन बढ़ाने से  शे’र के वज़न पर कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ेगा तो इस प्रकार से 8-वज़न और बरामद हो सकते हैं ।और यह सभी वज़न आपस में ’मुतबादिल’ -यानी एक दूसरे की जगह बदले जा सकते हैं।अगर ज़रूरत पड़ी तो इन्हे  क्रमश : i-- j--k-l-m-n-o-p-से दिखाया जायेगा।

अत: मीर की ऐसी गज़लें [जो मीर की बह्र पर कही गई है] तो उन के  मिसरा का पहला हिस्सा -इन्ही 16-औज़ान में से  और दूसरा हिस्सा इन्ही किसी न किसी एक वज़न पर ज़रूर होगा।

यूँ मीर के पहले भी यह दोनों बह्र  A & B तो अरूज़ में पहले से ही थी और इनकी मुज़ाअ’फ़ भी थी अलग-अलग रूप से । आप यूँ कहें की ’मीर’ ने इन दोनो बह्र को मिला कर  A + B कर दिया जिससे मीर की बह्र कहते हैं अत: यह १६- रुक्नी बह्र तो हुई मगर किसी बह्र की ’मुज़ाअ’फ़’ [दो गुनी] न हुई।

ख़ैर

अब ’मीर’ की कोई एक ग़ज़ल लेते हैं और उसकी तक़्तीअ भी देखते है --जिससे बात साफ़ हो जाए

मीर की एक बहुत मशहूर ग़ज़ल है जिसे आप सभी ने सुन रखा होगा

पत्ता पत्ता बूटा बूटा हाल हमारा जाने है

जाने न जाने गुल ही न जाने बाग़ तो सारा जाने है

आशिक़ सा तो सादा कोई ,और न होगा  दुनिया में

जी के ज़ियां को इश्क़ में उसके अपना वारा जाने है

क्या क्या फ़ितने सर पर उसके लाता है माशूक़ अपना

जिस बे दिल बेताब-ओ-तवां को इश्क़ का मारा जाने है

अब इन अश’आर क्र्र तक़्तीअ कर के देखते है । पहले तो ’अरूज़ी वक़्फ़ा’ लगाते है जो ऐसी बहर में लाज़िमी है और मिसरा को दो-हिस्से में बाँट कर देखा जा सके

  2  2--/  2 2  -/-22-/-22  //    21- /  122 -/-22 /-2     =- H   //--M

पत् ता/  पत् ता / बूटा/ बूटा // हाल/  हमारा/ जाने/ है

जिस बे /दिल बे/ताब-ओ/-तवां को// इश्क़ /का मारा /जाने/ है

इसी प्रकार मीर की  ऐसी और  ग़ज़लों की भी तक़्तीअ’ की जा सकती है और समझी जा सकती हैं।

बाद के और भी शायरों ने भी  इस बह्र में शायरी की है जो काफी आहंगखेज़ है

ख़ुद को बीमार मत किया कर यार

मौत बस हल्के पाँव ले आना

ख़ुदा के घर सड़क कोई नहीं जाती
चलो पैदल वहाँ लारी नहीं जाती

चली जाती है हँसने और हँसाने से

कभी उसकी ये हैरानी नहीं जाती

मुहब्बत हो गई तो हो गई साहब

कभी ये वाली बीमारी नहीं जाती

तुम तो सच बोल सकते थे भाई

मेरे घर में तो बाल-बच्चे थे

Book for daily reading to keep anxiety/ panic-attack away

चिंता, अवसाद, पैनिक अटेक आदि से बहुत लोग परेशान हैं| Negative thought patterns is about expectations and unrealistic standards, wherein if something is not entirely perfect, you see it or yourself as a failure. overgeneralizing. ध्यान करने से इसमें बहुत फ़ायदा होता है लेकिन ध्यान करना उन कठिन क्षणों में मुश्किल होता है| यहाँ पर जैन धर्म का एक सिद्धांत कि आप रोज उस चीज़ से संबंधित पुस्तक पढ़े तो आप भी उस अवस्था को पा सकते हैं| चलिए anxious thoughts/ anxiety/ panic-attack को दूर करने के लिए इस लेख को पढ़ते हैं-

1) False belief system को बदलें:

2) 

2) मैं false belief system से लड़ने को तैयार हूँ.

2) अकारण ही ख़ुश रहा करो.

3) प्रातः स्मरणीयों को प्रातः याद करना|

4)

 1) Shoganai शोगानाई (It can’t be helped)

It simply means to practice accepting things that are not in your control. There’s no point in wasting time over things that you have no control over, right? Instead, you should always look forward to things that are in your control. This is a forward-thinking attitude that if you’re able to develop, you will be able to navigate through life’s struggles in a better way.

“Shoganai is a Japanese phrase that conveys acceptance of circumstances beyond one's control,” says Sodhani. In other words, it means 'it is what it is' and all you need is to accept it. By embracing the principle of Shoganai, individuals can let go of constant worry and ruminate over things they cannot change, finding peace in surrendering to the flow of life.

2) Ikigai इकीगाई (What matters most to me in my life?)

जापानियों के अनुसार हर व्यक्ति की एक इकिगाई (ikigai) होती है। इकिगाई शब्द का जापानी भाषा में अर्थ है 'सुबह उठने का कारण'। इसे जीवन का उद्देश्य या जीवन का आनंद लेने का कारण भी कहा जाता है।

This is a well-known Japanese term. Ikigai, often described as one's "reason for being," is the intersection of what one loves, what one is good at, what the world needs, and what one can be paid for. By identifying and aligning with your Ikigai, you can find clarity in your life's purpose and direction, freeing yourself from the cycle of overthinking.

Having a purpose is important

Known as "ikigai" in Japan and "plan de vida" in Costa Rica, having a sense of purpose beyond work is crucial. Research suggests that knowing your sense of purpose can add up to seven years to your life, according to Buettner.

मेरा इकीगाई अभय हो कर के सिद्ध भगवान/वीतराग भगवान बनना है|

3) Kintsugi किंसुगी

Kintsugi एक जापानी कला है. मिट्टी से बने बर्तन या अन्य किसी भी चीज के टूटने पर, इन चीजों को फिर से सोने की मदद से जोड़ा जाता है.

Kintsugi is the Japanese technique that teaches us to celebrate our flaws, urging us to embrace imperfections instead of chasing an impossible ideal. Vishakha Sodhani, a certified psychologist, says, "By embracing your flaws and learning from setbacks, you can overcome the fear of failure and cultivate a mindset of acceptance and growth."

Let's celebrate our flaws. I am proud of my flaws.

The ideal imperfection

It's important to have achievable goals and realize that perfection isn't always possible. Restrict your information intake, especially when it comes with troubling news, and accept that things aren't ideal.

4) Shirin-Yoku शिरिन-योकू / वन-स्नान 

According to a study published by Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, this practise has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and enhance overall well-being. All of this is what Shirin-Yoku is all about! Shirin-Yoku, or forest bathing, involves immersing oneself in nature and mindfully experiencing the sights, sounds, and sensations of the forest. Spending time in nature is known to improve mental health.

Whenever you feel tired from the hustle culture, you feel like taking a break. Don't we all joke about how we want to move up north in the lap of the Himalayas and spend time peacefully. This technique suggests that the best way you can avoid overthinking is by surrounding yourself with greenery in the lap of nature where you can feel at ease. This will help calm your mind.

5) Zazen ज़ाज़ेन 

ख़ुद के अंदर मौज़ूद thought making machine के द्वारा बनाए गए thoughts को देखना.

Zazen is a meditative discipline that is typically the primary practise of the Zen Buddhist tradition. It involves sitting quietly and observing the thoughts that arise without judgment or attachment. "Through regular meditation, you can train your mind to become less reactive to intrusive thoughts, allowing yourself to detach from the grip of overthinking and experience inner peace," explains Sodhani.

साक्षी भाव को जगाने के लिए ख़ुद को नाम से पुकारिए- रवि अब सो रहा है. रवि अब डर रहा है. रवि मोबाइल चला रहा है.

आख़िरी में यह कह सकते हैं कि जिस चीज़ का रवि को डर लगा रहा है रवि वही काम करेगा

6) Yugen युगेन/ Feeling of bliss

Yūgen — A Feeling Beyond Happiness

Yūgen is a sense not to enjoy the superficial beauty of an object, which is in front of our eyes but to enhance the beauty more impressive by imagining its latent beauty. For example, we think a flower is beautiful when we see it. This beauty is the superficial beauty. The flower has a past of withstanding wind, rain, and snow until now, and will someday wither, however beautiful it is now. Although the beautiful flower itself impresses us, the beauty will be more impressive than the superficial beauty, when we can imagine its past and future.

"Yugen is a concept that refers to awareness of the profound mystery and beauty of the universe, beyond what can be expressed in words," avers Sodhani, By cultivating a sense of Yugen, you can develop a deeper appreciation for the present moment and let go of the need to analyse your future, which causes you to overthink constantly.

Ask yourself, am I willing ….

to accept that the moment is perfect? 

to let go of all the things that no longer serve me ?

to throw away the things that make me sad?

7) Mono no aware मोनो नो अवेयर/चीज़ों के अस्थायी या क्षणभंगुर होने का एहसास

Mono no aware is the bittersweet awareness of the impermanence of all things, helping you develop a deep sense of empathy and appreciation for the fleeting moments of beauty in life. Practise mindfulness and presence in each moment to incorporate mono no aware into your life. It can develop greater compassion, reducing the risk of overthinking again and again.

8) Wabi-sabi

वाबी-सबी एक सरल और आसानी से समझ आने वाली शैली में हमें दिखाती है कि अपनी अपूर्णता और अस्थायित्व को स्वीकार करने से किस तरह बेहतर होने की कोशिश से बचा जा सकता है. 

वाबी-सबी शब्द दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है: 1) वाबी का मतलब है जीवन और वस्तुओं को देखने का नजरिया. 2) साबी का मतलब है, क्षणभंगुरता, अस्थिरता यानी जीवन को उसकी नश्वरता में स्वीकार करना. 

Wabi-sabi is the Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in impermanence, imperfection, and simplicity. By embracing the wabi-sabi mindset, individuals can learn to let go of unrealistic standards and find contentment in the natural flow of life, reducing the tendency to overthink.

8A) Nenbutsu

It’s a simple and powerful way of shifting your mind from things that are causing you to overthink. It suggests that you repeat a sacred phrase that you believe in or simply chant the name of Buddha. This way it will help your mind to focus better and find peace too. It is a great way to feel calm and mindful of what you’re doing and feeling.

8B) Gaman

It’s about teaching yourself that you must not feel bogged down in times of difficulty. The idea is to stay strong and resilient even when life surprises you by moving forward. The best way to go about it is by focusing on taking one step at a time.

8C) Ikebana

This one is an interesting technique and effective too. It suggests that you arrange flowers and place them in a very thoughtful manner with utmost attention. When your mind will become too engrossed in creating something of beauty, you will see how fast your mind will stop focusing on troubling thoughts.

13) Deep Breathing

Your breathing becomes faster and shallower as you become more enraged. Breathe slowly and deeply through your nose, then let the air out of your mouth for a few seconds.

14) Mentally Escape/ Meditation

To achieve serenity among rage, picture yourself in a peaceful location and pay attention to small details like the colour of the water, the height of the mountains, and the sounds of the birds.

15) Express How You Feel

Ask a responsible friend for composed answers and learn how to handle your emotions. Well-reached conversation calms tension and soothes rage.

16) Dear Anxiety, 

    1) तुम्हारे द्वारा दिये गये विचार को सुकरात के तीन filters से गुज़ारते हैं-

    1a) Truth: क्या तुम सहमत हो कि जो विचार लाए हो वो सत्य है.

    1b) Goodness: क्या इसमें कुछ अच्छाई है.

    1c) Essential: क्या इस पर विचार करना essential है.

17) हां, ओवरथिंकिंग से बचाव संभव है.

इसके लिये एक परफ़ेक्ट रूटीन की आवश्यकता हैं, जिसका पालन लगातार करने से मन ओवरथिंकिंग करना कम, फिर धीरे धीरे बंद कर देगा.

एक्सरसाईज के लिये स्वामी रामदेव जी का वीडिओ तलाश करें।

ध्यान व स्लीप के लिये हार्टफ़ुलनेस का वीडिओ तलाश करें।

भोजन की विधि के लिये स्वामी रामदेव जी का वीडिओ तलाश करें।

18) इसके अतिरिक्त मैं एक शक्तिशाली विधि आपसे शेयर करना चाहता हूं। इस विधि में ओवरथिंकिंग/कुछ दूसरी समस्या के स्टेटमेंट के साथ सदैव एक पॉजिटिव स्टेटमेंट हर बार कहना है। और सबकोंसियस माइंड को कहना है कि सबकोंसियस माइंड ओवरथिंकिंग स्टेटमेंट को mark as neutral, burn it and discard करो। बाद में subconscious mind को धन्यवाद और यह आग्रह की वह यह automatically करे, यह कहना है।

Example 1:

अगर तुम्हें भी लग रहा है तो कहो कि-

मैंने भय नहीं किया तो मेरी बॉडी को जो नुकसान होना था उससे बच गया हूँ और इसके बदले मैंने हँसना पसंद किया जिससे मेरी बॉडी और स्वस्थ्य हो गई है। 

Example 2:

अगर तुम्हें fast food खाने का मन कर रहा है-

मैंने fast food नहीं खाया इसलिए मेरी बॉडी का नुकसान होने से मैनें रोक लिया और इसके बदले मैंने green tea पी जिस से मेरी बॉडी और स्वस्थ्य हो गई है। 

Example 3:

अगर तुम्हे financial कुछ डर लग रहा है-

19) णमो सिद्धाणं बोलो और यह महसूस करो कि divine blessings प्राप्त हो रही हैं| यह हर पाँच मिनट बाद करें तो अच्छा रहेगा|

20) “Am I sure?” (To counter your own assumptions and accusations)

To counter your own assumptions and accusations, it’s best to take the advice of Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and ask yourself: “Am I sure?” It’s not easy to turn yourself into an optimist, but most of the time this question will disarm your negativity because the answer will almost certainly be “no.”

21) “Am I sure?” 

Again, another great way to reverse this pattern of assumption and accusation is to ask yourself: “Am I sure?” If you continue to jump to the same conclusion, the best thing might be to actually find out the answer.

22) To stop magnifying/catastrophizing, one might minimize. You can do that by putting your experience into perspective. Don’t search online for what your illness could be—instead, go to a clinic. Think realistically about whether someone could fire you for a simple mistake. A great way to get some help is to talk to others about your concerns.

23) Stop using “shoulds” and start setting realistic, small goals to help motivate you. Instead of making up stressful rules in your life, be flexible and gentle with yourself.

24) You can reverse this negative thought pattern by coming to terms with the realistic limits of your control. You can’t control what others think or feel or enjoy or don’t enjoy. All you are responsible for is yourself.

25) Say no

To put an end to the cycle, learn to say no. Otherwise, the tasks, obligations, and expectations running around in your head will only increase. You'll never escape. Refuse invitations; refuse to worry; refuse to take on another file at work; refuse to exhaust yourself living up to standards that don't reflect who you are. Saying no is the first step to decreasing your mental load.

26) Say yes to pleasurable activities. Say yes to taking care of yourself.

When you're feeling crushed beneath your obligations, you probably tend to concentrate only on what you have to do. You start to say no to pleasurable activities that, while they won't eliminate your mental load, will help you relax a little. Say yes to taking care of yourself. Say yes even if it is to eating some poutine, buying a new shirt, or any other little treats that you rarely enjoy. Indulge yourself. Such simple pleasures can make a big difference on crazy days.

27) Move

Physical activity rids the body of stress and tension and, what's more, re-energizes you. It may not be easy to fit exercise into your schedule, but try looking at it as a required part of your plan to get back into shape—mentally! The sense of well-being you'll feel after a bit of exercise will motivate you to do more.

28) Be positive

Instead of talking about your responsibilities in a negative way, try looking at things differently and being positive about what you do. Train yourself to see the good side of things rather than grumbling about every minor snag. Minimizing what you do can undermine your good mood.

29) Cut corners/ Leave the desire for perfection

Accept the fact that everything doesn't have to be perfect. You can cut certain corners to avoid making some tasks too burdensome. The desire for perfection at all costs indicates a need for control bordering on obsession.

30) Choose your battles

Not everything in your life has the same importance. Set priorities, and above all, choose your battles. What is really important to you? What are you worrying about that may not necessarily merit such concern?

31) Be a little selfish

Think about yourself, and stop (just a bit) thinking about others (and for others!). Make yourself the top priority in your life. You have always put the needs of others before your own. Why not take a step back and re-establish a healthier balance?

32) Laugh

Laughter is a powerful remedy for stress. It's no miracle cure, but laughing often relieves tension. Laughing will also calm certain situations that may otherwise become nerve-racking.

33) Aim for personal degrowth

The ultimate goal is to have fewer things to do. Better yet, the least possible. But, this is not easy. Personal degrowth means doing less as well as owning fewer things. Minimizing your footprint results in lower expectations and fewer tasks on your to-do list.

34) लगातार भगवान को धन्यवाद दो और भगवान से वादा करो कि भगवान मैं अब डरूँगा नहीं. भगवान आप कृपा करते रहें कि मेरा डरना बंद हो जाए.

35) Set a thinking timer: Sometimes the brain simply wants to think or find solutions to things. We should assign a particular time of the day to that. When the timer goes off, we should promptly move on to other activities.

36) Engage in our five senses: Instead of ruminating about possibilities that may or may not happen, we should bring our focus to our five senses. This will help us to get in touch more with our senses.

37) Write: When the thoughts start to get extremely overwhelming, we can try writing them or journaling them. This often gives us the feeling of pouring our heart out and makes us feel light.

38) पीठ सीधी, कंधे उभरे, छाती चौड़ी रखो। 

39) नाम जापः रात दिन णमो सिद्धाणं की जाप दो. मैं bliss में हूँ, यह भी लगातार रट सकते हैं.

40) Heartfulness की cleaning method.

41) express gratitude

42) Having empathy

To be self-caring, one must be nice and kind to oneself. It also entails treating oneself with the same consideration and compassion as a close friend going through similar experience.

43) जो तुम कल या एक सेकंड पहले थे वो तुम्हारा पिछला जन्म था, अभी तुम्हारा नया जन्म है|

44)

"For aspiring writers, the golden rule is the 3Rs: Regular writing, constant reading, and honest revisions.

45) The 3-3-3 Rule for Anxiety

The 3-3-3 rule can help you stop ruminating thoughts and bring you into the present moment. Whenever you feel anxious, look around the room and name three things you see, name three things you hear, and move three parts of your body.

46) Progressive Muscle Relaxation: When you have a free moment, sit in a relaxed position and tense every muscle in your body. Then, slowly, starting with your head, release the muscle tension throughout your body all the way down to your feet.

47) Find Distractions: As I said above, sometimes anxiety will impact your mood or thinking without cause. If that’s the case, sometimes there is no resolution to be sought and the best strategy is to distract yourself. Reading a book, watching TV, listening to music or going for a run can aid with distracting yourself from the anxiety long enough that it goes away. Below is a list of 15 ideas that can help with distraction.

Listen to music

Read a book

Go for a run

Call a friend

Write an email

Work on a project

Garden

Take a nap

Clean the bathroom

Ride a bike

Draw a picture

Write in your journal

Write a poem

Reorganize your home

Do a yoga routine

I wish anxiety were easier to vanquish, but the truth is, it takes a lot work. Most people aren't afraid of hard work, they are afraid of self-discipline, putting in the hard work day after day, even when they don't want to. But that's what it takes. You can achieve self-discipline by following the seven strategies discussed in this post and rolling them into daily habits. Before you know it, one day turns into two, and then three, and then a month and then a lifestyle, a lifestyle of managing and overcoming anxiety. You can do it.

48) Make sleep a priority. 

The brain needs sleep to thrive. Studies show that most adults need seven or more hours of sleep a night. Going to bed and waking at the same time also helps you create healthy sleep habits.

49) हमेशा छोटे ही सही किसी न किसी संकल्प को लेकर के चलो|

अगर जैन हो तो ये संकलप follow करना ही चाहिए क्योंकि जैन होने के essential संकल्प हैं-

- रात्री भोजन का त्याग  (प्राइमेरी requirement) । सिर्फ़ पानी की छूट ले सकते हो|

- प्याज और लहसुन का त्याग 

50) Gita offers invaluable lessons for integrating spiritual wisdom into daily life and professional settings. Here's a breakdown of its relevance chapter by chapter:

Chapter 1: In professional environments, people may appear supportive while undermining your reputation to hinder your progress. Such deceitful figures can be likened to characters like Shakuni, Karna, and Duryodhana.

51) It all begins with a thought

"Watch your thoughts, they turn into words. Watch your words, they turn into actions. Watch your actions, they turn into habits. Watch your habits, they turn into character. Watch your character, it turns into your destiny. It all begins with a thought." Gaur Gopal Das

Power of words and sword

"It is strange that sword and words have the same letters. Even more strange is that they have the same effect if not handled properly." Gaur Gopal Das

Worry comes easy

"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy." Gaur Gopal Das

Gratitude

"We must find positivity in the bleakest situations and live by the principle of gratitude." Gaur Gopal Das

Do what you love

"If someone chooses what they love to do, there is no stress in their life. As they say: 'If you do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.'" Gaur Gopal Das

Dare to dream big​

Dhirubhai Ambani aptly said, “If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs”. His legacy is a proof of this! Gaur Gopal Das

52) 8 Phrases that Will Lower Your Anxiety Levels

"I Am in Control of My Thoughts"

When faced with overwhelming thoughts or worries, reminding yourself that you are in control can be a powerful affirmation. This phrase serves as a gentle reminder that while external circumstances may be challenging, your response to them is within your control. By acknowledging your ability to guide your thoughts, you empower yourself to navigate through anxious moments with resilience.

"This Too Shall Pass"

Life is filled with ups and downs, and sometimes, the lows can feel insurmountable. Repeating the phrase "this too shall pass" can provide a perspective shift. It emphasizes the transient nature of emotions and situations, instilling hope that challenging times are temporary.

"I Choose Peace Over Anxiety"

The power of choice plays a significant role in managing anxiety. By consciously choosing peace over anxiety, you assert control over your emotional state. This phrase reinforces the idea that, even in the face of chaos, you can prioritize inner calm. It encourages the cultivation of a peaceful mindset, helping to counteract the grip of anxiety.

"I Am Stronger Than I Think"

During moments of anxiety, it's easy to underestimate our strength. Reminding yourself that you are stronger than you think can be a transformative affirmation. It encourages self-empowerment and reinforces the idea that you possess the inner strength to face and overcome challenges.

"Progress, Not Perfection"

Perfectionism often fuels anxiety as individuals strive for flawless outcomes in every aspect of life. Shifting the focus from perfection to progress can alleviate the pressure and reduce anxiety levels. This phrase encourages a more realistic and compassionate perspective, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement rather than an unattainable ideal.

"I Am Grateful for..."

Cultivating gratitude is a powerful antidote to anxiety. Expressing gratitude has been linked to improved mental well-being. Incorporating the phrase "I am grateful for..." into your daily routine encourages a mindful reflection on positive aspects of your life. It redirects focus from stressors to moments of appreciation, fostering a more optimistic outlook and reducing anxiety levels.

"I Will Take One Step at a Time"

Overwhelm often accompanies anxiety, especially when faced with large tasks or challenges. Breaking down daunting situations into manageable steps can make them more approachable. Saying "I will take one step at a time" reinforces the importance of focusing on the present moment and the immediate actions required. This approach promotes a sense of control and can prevent feelings of being engulfed by the enormity of a situation.

"I Deserve Peace and Happiness"

Self-compassion is a crucial component of anxiety management. Acknowledging your worth and affirming that you deserve peace and happiness is a powerful mantra. This phrase challenges negative self-talk and promotes a mindset that prioritizes self-care. By recognizing your inherent value, you create space for positive emotions to flourish, diminishing the hold of anxiety.

52) जिस तरह क्रोध का antidote ख़ुद को क्षमा/क्रोधी पर दया/ भगवान से क्षमा मांगना आदि हैं उसी तरह anxiety का antidote अकर्ता भाव है|

53) Anxiety को logical anxiety की तरफ़ ले जाओ|

54) Write down every task you complete

As said before, confidence mainly comes from a sense that we have achieved our goal. You can improve your confidence by completing even the most minor tasks. For instance, actor Matthew McConaughey writes down every small job he does in a day (even using the bathroom) because it makes him feel like he’s achieved more.

55) Smile (because you want to)

Louis Armstrong had a point when he sang, “when you're smilin'... the whole world smiles with you.” This works by chain reaction. If you are mean to someone, they will probably behave similarly to you. When you walk around smiling, and people smile back, it can help you realize your worth.

56) A tidy desk (or room) is a tidy mind

Tidy your desk or your room. Feeling overwhelmed and anxious will stop you from feeling confident. One quick and practical way of helping you feel more relaxed and like you’ve got it together is having a tidy room.

57) Successive approximation

This complicated-sounding technique is at its root very simple: it involves taking daunting tasks and breaking them down into more manageable ones.

58) Four major steps

The first step is to identify your thought patterns. This vital step can be difficult to do alone because you are accustomed to your thoughts, but it’s not impossible. This also includes identifying specific problems or issues in your daily life.

Step two

The second step is discovering how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors. Your thoughts are the primary architects of your reality, providing the blueprint for how you will feel and then act. You will become aware of unproductive thought patterns and how they impact your life.

Step three

The third step is determining whether your thoughts are accurate or not. The goal here is to identify the negative thinking that is harming your mental health and reframing them in a way that changes how you feel.

Step four

The fourth step is to replace biased thoughts with more realistic ones, which will also include learning new behaviors and putting them into practice.

59) Successive approximation

This complicated-sounding technique is at its root very simple: it involves taking daunting tasks and breaking them down into more manageable ones.

By changing the way you think about tasks—from overwhelming and insurmountable, to easier and more achievable steps—you not only diminish your fears, but you also build a foundation for success whereupon you know you can rely on yourself and no task seems insurmountable.

60) Focusing on What You Can Control

Direct your attention towards things within your control, such as your actions and attitudes, to navigate uncertainty effectively and foster resilience.

61) Avoiding Comparison

Shift your focus inward and celebrate your unique journey instead of comparing yourself to others.

62) Say "no" out loud

Saying "no" out loud is a great tactic when you start to feel yourself slipping on a goal that needs some willpower. It might sound silly, but it will help you get back on track.

63) Make a list of your previous successes

It can be hard to stay motivated when you're seeing so many successful people online and on the news. To keep your willpower up and going, write down some of your biggest achievements over the years.

64) Voltaire on the pursuit of happiness

"I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health." This highlights happiness as a choice beneficial to one's well-being.

65) Sartre on existential choice

"We are our choices." Sartre emphasizes personal responsibility and the shaping of our essence through decisions, in line with existentialist philosophy.

66) 1. Automated Negative Thoughts (ANTs). The most common anxiety trigger is believing everything you think. Your brain is always generating the worst possible scenarios. So, learn to kill your ANTs.

67) “Thoughts lie. They lie a lot, and it is your uninvestigated or unquestioned thoughts that steal your happiness,” Dr Daniel G. Amen, a psychiatrist on  ‘Automatic Negative Thoughts’ (ANT) 

“If you do not question or correct your erroneous thoughts, you believe them, and you act as if they are 100 per cent true. Allowing yourself to believe every thought you have is the prescription for anxiety disorders, depression, relationship problems, and prolonged grief,” he added.

 “Whenever you feel sad, mad, nervous, or out of control, do the following: write down your automatic negative thoughts. The act of writing down the ANTs helps to get the invaders out of your head,” he advised.

Agreeing, Amrita Roy also suggested some ways to manage ANTs, they are:

-Challenging them with counter statements and arguments

-Using rebuttals with explanations and reasoning

-Substituting with positive thoughts

68) Control your breathing

When faced with a situation that might set off your anxiety, controlled breathing can help limit the damage. The UK’s National Health Service recommends breathing exercises: breathe in gently while counting from one to five in your head and breathing out at the same rate. Repeat the pattern for around five minutes.

69) Listen to white noise

Whether it’s to help you sleep or relax, white noise encourages the release of endorphins, which promote a feeling of well-being. The noise of water (e.g., a waterfall or waves) has a particularly calming effect.

70) E=mc2 rules कहता है कि या तो आप maas हैं या energy हैं| जब आप maas हैं आप anxiety, depression आदि के शिकार बन सकते हैं| अगर आप energy हैं तो आप spiritual, physical, mental प्रोग्रेस कर रहे हैं| मोटापे को भी इसी logic से समझिए|

71) “Anxiety is not the same as fear, but they are often used interchangeably. Anxiety is considered a future-oriented, long-acting response broadly focused on a diffuse threat, whereas fear is an appropriate, present-oriented, and short-lived response to a clearly identifiable and specific threat.”

72) It can lead to depression and anxiety

When you don't have an identity separate from work, you're more susceptible to depressive or anxious symptoms when work inevitably has its off days.

73) Anxiety का antidote उन सफ़ल कामों को याद करना हैं जिनको anxiety रोक रही थी और आपने किए|

74)  Overcome your fears

Whether it’s the fear of uncertainty or risk, fear can keep you paralyzed and prevent you from improving your life. Your fears reflect on areas where you can grow. Use that as a compass for what you can work on.

75) Get out of your comfort zone

Being too comfortable doesn’t help us grow, it rather makes us stand still. Identify what your comfort zones are and how you can begin to step out of them little by little.

76) Identify your blind spots

In personal development terms, blind spots are things about ourselves we are unaware of. By discovering what they are, you'll know your areas of improvement.

77) Avoid negative people

It doesn't matter where you go: there are bound to be negative people there. If possible, limit your time with them if you feel they drag you down.

78) Acknowledge your flaws

Everyone has flaws, but it's important to understand and address them through self-improvement practices. Remember to not look at them through a self-critical or mean-spirited lens. Instead, it's about finding areas you feel you can improve upon, and not about what's wrong with you.

79) Create an inspirational room

Your environment has a great impact on you and your mood. So if you're living in an inspirational environment, then this will get you inspired every day. If you have space, take a room in your home and level it up with a new coat of paint, some nice paintings, and comfortable furniture. It will make it welcoming and energizing.

80) Morning affirmations

Some examples of empowering affirmations include:

"I am worthy of love and respect."

"I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth."

"I trust in my abilities to overcome obstacles."

"I am surrounded by abundance and prosperity."

"I am confident in my decisions and choices."

"I attract positivity and joy into my life."

"I am grateful for the blessings that surround me."

81) "Sometimes, life's adversities lead us to the right path."- Jaya Kishori

"I will modify it to "Let life's adversities lead us to the right path."- Jaya Kishori

"Choose positive thoughts over negative ones, and your life will become better."- Jaya Kishori

"Actions speak louder than words; impactful teaching comes from actions, not just words."- Jaya Kishori

82) Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and acknowledge that it's normal to experience anxiety during sickness. Treat yourself with compassion and patience as you navigate through this challenging time.

83) What are the main components of a happy life?

Happiness is a mindset. Love, gratitude, forgiveness, and faith could be considered among the key components of a happy life.

84)  Which is worse: failing or never trying?

English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson once wrote: "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." (The pain of loss does not outweigh the pleasure of love.)

85) ​Questioning thoughts​

​When faced with negative thoughts, challenge their validity by asking yourself, "Are you sure?" This method encourages a moment of pause and reflection, allowing you to question and often diminish the power of these thoughts.​

86) Shrink thoughts

​Visualising your negative thoughts becoming smaller and eventually vanishing can be a powerful technique. This practice helps reduce their perceived importance, making them easier to dismiss.​

87) "Victims recite problems, leaders provide solutions".- Robin Sharma

88) Forgiveness

"Forgiveness is the greatest weapon, because a saint so armed is unperturbable he can give up anger immediately."

89) संकल्प में जीना है, विकल्प में नहीं. जब भी कोई विकल्प (सोशल anxiety- कोई क्या सोचेगा,) तो फ़ौरन संकल्प ले लो. उपसर्ग (मन में अगर negative विचार आएं तो यह भी उपसर्ग है) आए तो तुरंत संकल्प लो|

108) What is the 1-3-5-7 revision strategy used by toppers?

In the realm of competitive exams, adopting effective study techniques can be a game-changer. One such strategy gaining traction is the 1-3-5-7 revision method, a favorite not only among academic achievers but also CEOs for its unparalleled task management capabilities.

THE '1' TOP PRIORITY

At the core of the 1-3-5-7 technique is the '1'—your top priority. This singular, non-negotiable task takes precedence, ensuring your focus is laser-sharp on the most crucial objective.

THE '3' MEDIUM PRIORITY

Following closely are the '3'—three medium-priority tasks. Tackling these contributes significantly to overall productivity, providing a balanced approach to studying and task completion.

THE '5' SMALL TASKS

Next in line are the '5'—five less time-consuming and small tasks. Swiftly handling these not only adds to your accomplishments but also maintains a steady rhythm of productivity throughout your study session.

THE '7' QUICK TASKS

ENHANCING MEMORY

Proven beyond the confines of academia, the 1-3-5-7 revision strategy is not just about task management; it's a cognitive enhancer. Regular implementation of this method has shown to amplify memory retention and provide a significant boost to overall brain function.

Ganbaru encourages people to be more patient and calm when it comes to expecting results of something they did. It advises people to stay true to their goals and not worry about the outcomes too soon.

110) Acknowledge, understand, and forgive

Once you have learned more about hidden aspects of your personality that may be negatively impacting your life, it is time to acknowledge and forgive yourself for them.

Make sure you give yourself the time and space to move on, and remind yourself that healing does not happen overnight, so be gentle with yourself.

111) Be Mindful of Your Emotional Investment in People

When dealing with self-centered individuals who only seek your assistance for petty issues, while conveniently ignoring your needs, it's important to be mindful of how much emotional investment you choose to give. Your emotions are valuable and wasting them on people who don't reciprocate can be exhausting. Be intentional with your energy and decide how much you're willing to emotionally invest. You have the option to either sever ties with them altogether or reserve your help for situations that truly matter. Either way, prioritize your well-being.

112) Shift Your Focus to Things You Can Control

Life can throw curveballs our way, leaving us feeling powerless and out of control. It's natural to want a desirable outcome, but fixating on it can consume our thoughts and energy. The key is to redirect your attention to the things you can manage. Invest your emotions and efforts into the aspects of the situation that you can control, allowing you to better prepare and find a sense of stability.

113) Empower Yourself with Unshakeable Self-Worth

Your core must possess a sturdy foundation of self-belief, resilient against external factors that attempt to undermine it. Relying too heavily on the outcome of any given situation may result in anxiety if it falls short of your expectations. Therefore, building a solid sense of self-esteem is key to avoiding this.  

Convince yourself, without doubt, of your worth. Encourage and surround yourself with those who unconditionally support you, commemorate even the smallest accomplishments, and remember to extend kindness to yourself. Even if you make an error, be forgiving. 

114) Take Control of Your Emotions

One of the best tips on how to not care so much is to monitor your emotional responses and determine when you're becoming too invested. You may be placing too much significance on a certain issue if you find yourself fixating on it, thinking about it excessively, or becoming unnecessarily worked up.  

Once you recognize this, take a moment to reflect on the emotional state you desire. Then, engage in activities that help you attain that state. If you desire to feel joyful, do things that bring you joy. This will redirect your attention and allow you to concentrate on more vital matters.

115) Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

When we doubt our own abilities, we are caught in a never-ending loop of worry and anxiety. The future looms before us as an endless stretch of unknowns and we struggle to shake the fear that we may not be up to the task. But it's time to stop this negative self-talk and acknowledge all that you have accomplished. Remember those hurdles you have conquered and challenges you have surpassed. Let these successes flood your mind with positivity and tranquility. By doing so, you can diminish your fears and quiet your restless mind.

116) Learn the Art of Letting Go

Your general well-being may suffer if you allow your emotions to overwhelm you. By always being on the edge, you might end up overlooking life's simple joys and wonders. When something isn't worth your time and effort, it's acceptable to draw the line and take a step back. Don't let yourself become overly preoccupied with everything that comes your way. Instead, reserve your energy for things that really matter and learn the art of detachment. 

Writing down your thoughts can be therapeutic and help release tension. Embrace happy moments and shift your attention to positive experiences to steer clear of anxiety. Indulge in some self-care activities every day, like taking up a new hobby or skill. This will not only enrich your mind, but it will also make your thoughts clearer and less stressful.

117) Look After Yourself

Shift your focus onto self-care rather than overwhelming yourself with worries. Give yourself permission to pamper yourself and participate in activities that make you happy. Keep in mind that attending to your needs is as crucial as assisting others.

If you find yourself too drained to engage in deep conversation with a friend in need, suggest doing something that's calming for you both like having a spa day or working out together. In this manner, you can look after your own needs while still being there for your friend.

118) Be Helpful to Those Who Will Help Themselves

While some individuals choose to complain endlessly about their circumstances, it is important to acknowledge that true change requires active effort. It can be a good idea to put more effort into your own personal development if you find yourself in the situation of giving advice to loved ones who continually disregard your recommendations.  

By placing excessive emotional investment into those who refuse to take control of their own lives, you risk sacrificing your own well-being. Rather than getting too deeply involved with these individuals, be available for support but keep a healthy distance. Wait until they are ready to seize their opportunities before extending your aid.

119) Allow Yourself the Freedom to Not Care Too Much

Excessive concern for things that may not matter in the long run can hold you back from truly living. Letting go of the burden of worry can open up doors for new experiences and joys. By taking a step back and refocusing your attention on activities that give your life meaning and fulfillment, you can learn how to stop caring so much about someone or something. It's crucial to acknowledge and take care of your emotions, but you shouldn't allow them to rule your life. You can discover happiness and peace in the present by striking a balance between caring and not caring.

120) Let Go of the Pressure to Please Everyone

People pleasers are often overwhelmed by the desire to ensure others are content, even at their own expense. But that burden is not one that you must carry. It's time to end that pattern if you wish to relieve yourself of the stress that comes with caring too much. Stop catering to others simply to fulfill their desires, and begin to find peace within your own identity. Be confident in yourself and let your authentic self shine.

121) Analyze Your Thoughts

It's simple to assume the worst and draw hasty judgments, which can send our minds into a tailspin. It's like we get caught up in a whirlwind of negativity without ever questioning if what we're thinking is even accurate. But, the truth is, what we imagine may not reflect reality. We could be over-analyzing situations or exaggerating things. 

Therefore, it's crucial to pause, think, and question your own thoughts. Evaluate the facts and eliminate unnecessary worrying. This way, you can organize your thinking and refrain from making any hasty decisions. 

122) Bear in Mind That Most People Don’t Think of You

For those who tend to overly worry, one common issue is being consumed with what others may think about them. This frequently starts a cycle of self-doubt when they begin to question if others are watching their every move and word. This is a paralyzing worry that could seriously harm your self-esteem.

The majority of people aren't really focused on you, in reality. They're preoccupied with taking care of their own issues and concerns and aren't paying much attention to what you're doing. So, it’s time to learn how to stop caring about people. Let go of your need for approval from others and embrace your freedom. 

123) Find an Escape

It's normal to feel like things are getting out of hand when you invest too much. A current of apprehension and frenzied restlessness could course through you constantly. It might result in occasional out-of-character emotional outbursts. Learning to master your sentiments and channeling them in a productive way is crucial. This practice will take your thoughts off fretting and caring excessively.

Once you find yourself obsessing too much, immediately occupy yourself with something that requires your complete focus. Taking charge of your feelings can begin by practicing meditation, focusing on your breath for a few moments. Besides this, regular exercise can be an excellent way to channel your energy positively.

124) Embrace the Present Moment

The weight of caring too much can often stem from anxieties about what is yet to come. Allowing yourself to completely appreciate the present moment is one of the most crucial tips on how to stop caring. Free yourself from worry and learn to live each day as it unfolds before you. The unknown future might easily make you feel overwhelmed, but worrying about it won't make things any better and will only negatively impact your mental health. Live in the present moment and feel the freedom it brings.

125) In any relationship, learning how to stop caring excessively about someone is crucial. Over-investing in someone else can result in a permanent state of worry, anxiety, and a loss of your own sense of happiness. Establishing personal boundaries, focusing on what is under your control, assessing your emotional investment in each person, managing your emotions, and building a strong sense of self-esteem are all necessary to combat this and prevent the development of unhealthy attachments to others. Additionally, make self-care a priority and continuously remind yourself of your successes to improve your mental well-being.

126) An exercise to practice every day

It is recommended to practice a small exercise of gratitude every day, for example by thinking about positive things or writing them down every morning or evening.

127) Acknowledge your thoughts

It can be hard to recognise the pattern or the type of thought you could be having as it can be an automatic process. We as psychologists recommend observing your thoughts and accepting them as they are first. When you find yourself replaying past mistakes or stressing about things that may be out of your control, observe and accept how you feel. Then, try to identify the triggers. A way to keep track of your thoughts could be to quickly jot pointers or keywords down on your favourite notes app or a notebook.

128) Create an emergency toolkit

In situations when your mind starts wandering into unwanted territories reach into this mental toolkit to forcefully derail the overthinking train.

Say a random number mentally or verbally to focus on what number to say next instead of the thought.

Make a list of activities and choose to do one of them at that moment to step away from those thoughts. It could be something like going for a walk or a workout class, painting, petting a dog or cat, or simply listening to music or podcasts.

Do something nice for someone else as it releases happy hormones in us as well.

129) Limit information consumption

Data from the Pew Research Center indicates that constant exposure to news and information, especially through social media, can contribute to heightened stress levels among adults. Setting boundaries on information intake can be pivotal in preventing the information overload that often leads to overthinking.

130) Take actions

We often get stuck in an overthinking loop and are unable to take any action toward the task or thought. A good way to get out of the loop is to take an action based on it even if it’s the smallest one. Developing clear decision-making guidelines, including defined criteria and time limits, aids in preventing the chronic overthinking associated with choices. It helps channel your energy in the right way.

131) Think about your strengths

Don't overlook the positive, and focus on your strengths. If you find yourself having negative thoughts about your actions or personality, think about something you like about yourself or something good you did.

If negative thoughts refuse to leave you and affect your daily life, consider reaching out to a mental health professional.

133) Movement is life

The world's longest-lived individuals don't engage in strenuous exercise but live in environments that naturally encourage movement. They incorporate activities like gardening and avoid mechanical conveniences for household chores.

135) Prioritise your loved ones

Blue zone centenarians keep ageing family members nearby, which studies show can lower disease and mortality rates for their children, according to Buettner.

136) Engage in positive reframing: Train your brain to see challenges as opportunities for growth. Shift your perspective by acknowledging negative emotions and seeking to reinterpret your experiences. Recognise your strengths, remember past successes, and express gratitude for the good things in your life to help bring about a positive mindset.

137) Yogic Practices for Positive Neuropathways

Yoga-based meditative practices are non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical interventions that can be integrated with modern medicine. Specific meditation modalities that are based on the principles of the Indian Knowledge Systems support holistic well-being and mental resilience. This intersection of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience presents an avenue for a higher quality of life.

One of the most powerful ways of building positive neuropathways is by introducing yoga-based meditation into regular life. Evidence-based meditative practices, when performed under the guidance of a guru or meditation expert, can have multiple benefits. Meditation helps penetrate a heightened state of complete awareness, enabling deep relaxation and stress reduction, building neuroplasticity, and helping with self-acceptance and emotional regulation.

You can build supportive belief systems through the goal manifestation technique of journaling—through visualisation. Mentally picture your ideal life in real-time, and write that down in your journal or the Golden Book on a daily basis. It’s like you’re writing the movie script of your life; you need to visualise details and be descriptive, involving senses and emotions. While writing, try to inculcate the belief that it’s already a reality. Along with this, you can also journal your short-, mid and long-term goals. Do this daily before you go to sleep and read it in the morning.

Rebuilding your life is possible. But it’s in your hands. Through the disciplined application of yogic practices, you can embark on a transformative journey towards resilience.

138) Create an emergency toolkit

In situations when your mind starts wandering into unwanted territories reach into this mental toolkit to forcefully derail the overthinking train.

Say a random number mentally or verbally to focus on what number to say next instead of the thought.

Make a list of activities and choose to do one of them at that moment to step away from those thoughts. 

It could be something like going for a walk or a workout class, painting, petting a dog or cat, or simply listening to music or podcasts.

Do something nice for someone else as it releases happy hormones in us as well.

Deep belly breathing: Inhaling and exhaling all the way to the stomach with one hand on the heart and the other on the stomach. This helps ground one to the present.

139) Step one: Identify that it is intrusive

Aptly identifying and naming an intrusive thought is one of the best ways to take away its power. Remind yourself that the thought isn't you, or how you think, or what you believe, or what you want to do.

Step two: Don't try to force it out

When you identify an intrusive thought, you might worry and want to get rid of it. But try to refrain from fighting it, because you'll actually only make it stronger that way, like throwing a boomerang.

Step three: Don't judge yourself

It's a strange concept to hear a thought in your own mind and still separate it from yourself, but acknowledging that disturbing thoughts aren't a reflection of who you are is vital in taking away their power. There's nothing wrong with you!

Step four: Treat them as if they're boring

Leave the unwanted thoughts alone instead of interrogating them. Treat them as if they are not even interesting, and they will eventually fade into the background. Thoughts only have as much power as you give them.

Step five: Go through the motions

Continue whatever you were doing prior to the intrusive thought even if the thought is giving you anxiety. Allow it to be present as you move on with your body.

Step six: Expect for them to return

You can't 'solve' intrusive thoughts, and if you trick yourself into thinking they won't return, you'll only give them more power when they do. Focus on reducing your sensitivity to them.

It is like the announcement in the flight — ‘wear your own mask before helping others’. One has to understand the difference between being positively selfish and self-centred. Being positively selfish doesn’t mean being ruthless and self-obsessed about one’s own good at the expense of others. It means making yourself your priority and being happy. Only then can you add meaningful value to your relationships.”

1. Physical Rest

While a good night's sleep is fundamental to physical rest, it also encompasses activities like unwinding, muscle relaxation, and gentle movements. These practices aid in recuperating from daily physical exertions, alleviating muscle stress, and elevating energy. Activities such as yoga or a calm stroll can be as rejuvenating as taking a nap.

2. Mental Rest

Given the brain's constant engagement in processing, decision-making, and problem-solving, mental rest provides a much-needed pause. Techniques like meditation, brief workday pauses, or indulging in hobbies that allow daydreaming can facilitate mental downtime, helping to diminish brain fatigue, sharpen focus, and spur creativity.

3. Emotional Rest

This involves granting yourself the space to authentically experience and express your emotions. Embracing your true feelings, seeking support when necessary, and withdrawing from emotionally taxing scenarios can foster emotional intelligence, enrich relationships, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace.

4. Sensory Rest

In our perpetually stimulated environment—brimming with intense lights, sounds, and digital screens—sensory rest is crucial. Simple actions like switching off gadgets, seeking silence, dimming lights, or connecting with nature can mitigate sensory overload, ushering in tranquillity and enhanced concentration.

5. Creative Rest

Reinvigorating your creative spirit involves immersing yourself in the world's beauty, be it through art, nature, or music. This form of rest can ignite the imagination, improve problem-solving abilities, and infuse joy into your life.

6. Social Rest

Navigating social dynamics is intricate. Social rest means engaging with uplifting and supportive individuals while keeping a distance from energy-depleting connections. This leads to stronger, more rewarding relationships and a positive life outlook.

'Two psychology tricks you need to know to control any situation.' 

1

'Number one, when you're feeling shy and awkward because maybe you're meeting someone new or you're in a new environment, trick your brain to think that you already know the person that you're talking to, assume comfort. 

'This not only makes you feel more relaxed, but it also makes people feel more comfortable around you and makes them like you more,' she said. 

2

Lastly, the psychologist detailed how you can diffuse a tense argument. 

And it all comes down to where you decide to sit.  

'Stay next to them, not in front of them. This can create the feeling of partnership instead of confrontation, like being pitted against each other. 

'It's like we are looking at the problem together,' she said at the end of the video.

THE HOW-TO-NEURO GUIDE

THOUGHT-WAVE SURFING

● Note heart rate, breathing, temperature and other preliminary biofeedback data

● Embrace stillness while keeping your eyes focused on an object in front of you

● Close your eyes and use affirmations or visualisation to restructure, redirect, or transform any one jarring recurring thought pattern. Alternatively, you can keep your eyes open and engage in expressive writing to transform that recurring thought into a constructive one

● After a few minutes, take fresh biofeedback readings and see if there have been any changes

● Do this twice a day, regularly for 30 days for positive results

MINDFUL TIME TRAVEL

● Choose a comfortable and quiet place

● Set a clear intention on the purpose of the session. Is it forgiveness, reconciliation, self-reflection, self-compassion, spiritual groundedness or projections for the future?

● When revisiting memories, approach them with compassion

● Identify the uncomfortable ones by defining them in a single word each. Note them down as you gently open your eyes. Take a pause, grounding in stillness before closing your eyes again and immersing yourself in the scene again to see if you gain more perspective with the opening and closing of your eyes.

● For the next few days, ruminate on the various perspectives that merged through mindful time travel and consider how you can reshape them or bring about a shift from the observations and reflections.

We are faced with good and bad situations in life. The task lies in dealing with challenging situations as they require patience, right mindset and skills to overcome them.

How to develop the correct mindset? You can rely on the laws shared by eminent personalities based on their life experiences.

Murphy's Law

American aerospace engineer, Edward Aloysius Murphy Jr. gave Murphy's law, which states, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". The law means that the more you fear something happening, the more likely it is to occur. So, if you feel that you are going to mess up with something, you are going to surely, mess it up.

So, stop fearing and start believing. The law also also means that if you are getting bad vibes about doing something, it will most likely not be a good experience.

Kidlin Law

Kidlin Law states that "If you write a problem in clear and specific steps, you actually have half solved it." It is the basic principle of problem-solving which got its name after Kidlin, a fictional character in a novel by James Clavell who used this technique to solve various challenges in his life.

James Clavell was an Australian-born British writer, screenwriter, director, and World War II veteran and prisoner of war.

The steps include defining the problem and analysing it. Followed by generating solutions and brainstorming possible solutions for each part of the problem. Evaluate all these solutions based on all parameters like cost, easiness, risks, etc and the final step is implementing solutions.

Kidlin Law reduces stress as it enables you to get clarity of mind and make your thoughts streamlined.

Gilbert Law

Gilbert Law states "When you take on a task, finding the best ways to achieve the desired result is always your responsibility." If you have been assigned a task or you have readily taken up a task, it is you who is responsible for arriving at the best possible outcome by taking best choices and methods.

Wilson Law

Wilson Law states, "If you prioritise knowledge and intelligence, money will continue to come." It was given by Robert Wilson which states knowledge and intelligence are necessary for earning wealth. It implies a relationship between intellectual capacity and financial well-being.

In this constantly evolving world, one needs to keep oneself updated with the latest knowledge, discover new opportunities, make informed financial decisions and develop demanding skills. The law emphasises on individuals focusing on their personal and intellectual growth rather than chasing money which would ultimately, the byproduct of self-improvement.

Falkland Law

Falkland Law states "If you don't have to make a decision about something, then don't decide."

The law can be explained as if we abstain from involving or making unnecessary decisions, we create space within ourselves to focus on what truly matters and direct our energy towards those decisions that shape our lives.

The law helps to identify between the trivial and the essential life situations and people. Thus, one can channel their thoughts and efforts towards their ultimate goals and aspirations. The law teaches us that the most profound

Here are 12 profound quotes from the industrialist that encapsulate his wisdom and philosophy:

1. “None can destroy iron, but its own rust can! Likewise, none can destroy a person, but their own mindset can.” Tata highlighted the importance of mindset and self-discipline in determining personal success and resilience.

2. “Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.” Tata's belief in the importance of challenges and setbacks for personal growth is evident. 

3. “I don't believe in work-life balance. I believe in work-life integration. Make your work and life meaningful and fulfilling, and they will complement each other.” This quote underscores Tata's belief in finding purpose and fulfillment in both personal and professional life. 

4. "If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together." In this saying, Tata emphasized the value of collaboration for long-term success over quick individual achievements.

5. “The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that is changing quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Tata's quote highlights that avoiding risks in a rapidly changing environment is the greatest risk of all, as it ensures stagnation and failure in the face of new opportunities.

6. “Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.” This Tata's quote emphasizes that the true competition lies not in others, but in the personal challenges, missed opportunities, and negative influences that hinder one's growth and success.

7. “You may not always have a comfortable life, and you may not always be able to solve all the world's problems, but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have, because history has shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.” - Ratan Tata's quote highlights that even in difficult circumstances, individual courage and hope can inspire others and create significant positive change in the world. 

8. “There are many things that, if I have to relive, maybe I will do it another way. But I would not like to look back and think what I have not been able to.” Ratan Tata's quote reflects the idea that while he acknowledges past mistakes, he prefers to focus on the lessons learned rather than dwell on missed opportunities. 

9. “One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well-being of the people you love.” This quote reflects Tata's focus on relationships and the importance of giving back to society.

10. “Be a person of integrity, and always do what is right, even when it is difficult.” This quote by Ratan Tata underscores the importance of maintaining strong ethical principles and making the right choices, even in challenging situations. 

11. “Success is not measured by the position you hold, but by the impact you have on others.” Tata's quote emphasizes that true success is defined not by one's job title or status, but by the positive influence and contributions one makes to the lives of others. 

12. “Never underestimate the power of kindness, empathy, and compassion in your interactions with others.” This quote highlights Tata's belief in the importance of human connection and compassion.
