Yesterday was fun day. They made public transport free, so we went to Manly by ferry. I met a lady whose both kids went to selective school. We asked her how she did it and she said a lot of things, out of which I understood only half, because of her accent and fast talking and wearing mask. But I could understand which I already know. She talked about being discipled etc.
The most important thing I want to remember is that how she leaned to let it go and calm her self down. She gets along of (I don't know what to call it) let's assume kind of tumour in her finger. And it goes away when she is calm. Again when she fights with her husband, it comes back. So it was like an indicator that her body is in stress and needs to calm down. She said it is easy to say let go, but it is a process to learn it.
I am going to start that process. I, from now on will not worry about anything,
1. No matter what my husband does or doesn't do. I am bigger than him and the situation. I will remain calm. God is with me, nothing will happen to me.
2. No matter what my daughter does or doesn't do, I am bigger than the situation and will never ever again lose my cool and get angry on her or hot her, this bad habit is stopping right now.
3. My relatives, no matter who criticize me about anything, it will not affect me. I am bigger than any of them. They can't make me stressed. I don't have to waste any of my energy on them. Save my energy for the things that matter. When you are successful the same people will come too you too appreciate you.
4. Work: this should give me the least amount of stress, because I don't own the company, I work for someone. They should have the stress, not me.
I talked about the things that I won't do, now let me list down the things that I will do.
1. I will look at the bigger picture and believe in myself, my strength, my capability.
2. Go to gym regularly. Stronger mind needs stronger body. Gym will make your bones strong, your core muscle strong.
3. Catch yourself when you are not happy or started out angry. And remind yourself, you are much stronger than the situation, a calm mind can get out of any situation. Remember the scary dream I had couple of weeks ago. I dreamt that my warden caught me doing lesbian things to a girl on the bed. I panicked and woke up and felt relived that it is just a dream, then I asked my self, what of it was a real life, then how will I handle it, would I be happy that I died on that spot? No, that mindset is not healthy. So I went back to the dream and tried to continue it, I told her, yes we did some natty thing because we were missing out husbands and were just helping each other. This is infact a healthy expression of women sexuality, every person need is important not just men need. Ya, a bunch of crap that I don't mean, but good for the sake of argument. So, see being calm helped me think clearly than panic and take bad decision.
4. Please include meditation in your daily schedule. It is possible to find the right time.
5. Please find time to study and attend interview.
