Quietness of Mind — "The Concluding Part"

-
The part one and part two of this article have been previously published. I encourage you to read them.



The benefits!

In the previous post, we see a clear distinction between physical silence and silence in the mind. In this concluding part, we will be exploring few benefits of keeping an undisturbed mind.


With a still and peaceful mind, it is easier for us to quit ruminating bitterly over the past and forge ahead with great strength and renewed mindset.


Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. We seem to forget that we can't solve any problem by worrying. Relax your mind.

No matter what the failure is, be it job loss, a failed marriage, broken relationship, delayed academic admission, false accusations against you, a long time addiction, broken home, financial instability, or rejection, whatsoever! do not let your heart be troubled.

Get up, pick your lessons and move on with joy and peace in your heart. Worries should not be allowed to retard your growth. Remember that you still have a lot ahead of you and a sick mind will not be suitable at all to carry you through. Be strong in heart. 

In terms of communicating with people during frustration, the truth is that, when your mind is loud and chaotic, your mouth will definitely amplify the junks and unthoughtful words in your heart. Relax your mind. Breathe in, breathe out and allow yourself to think deep but with clarity. 

Always remember that the mind of a peaceful person is a mind free of struggles, rage, troubles, agitations, and anxiety.

Do yourself a peaceful favor by staying calm in the midst of life's chaos. You cannot solve any problem by stressing your head so be at peace with yourself.

My Constipation and Bloating Story

Many people who are close to me are often surprised at how little I eat and how I'm able to skip meals without being bothered or feeling the hunger.  Sometimes when I've not eaten during the day, I would forget I've not had any food. Sometimes, I also get easily engrossed with my hobbies (studying, reading or writing) or attending to some of my advocacy works, that I would forget about food.  Besides, I am not really a lunch person. Breakfast and dinner are my major meals and I take them lightly. I have come to a point in my life where I eat a very minute portion of food. For instance, if I have a 1kg Semovita pack, I am likely to make the Semovita eight different times, before I will be able to finish it. That is how little my stomach can take.   If I need to make rice, just one cup (milk tin) is enough for me to be satisfied.  But, have I always been like this? The answer is a capital NO....  I've not always been like this. This was not the Tolu many year...

The Fear of Vulnerability

Consider the snail. Each time you touch its foot, mouth or tentacles, it withdraws into its shell. In fact, most times, we use that to determine its status, whether dead or alive. So  your ability to react to pains or withdraw from it is a sign that you are a perfect living soul. Don't make the mistake of thinking something is wrong with you or you are emotionally weak. It's okay to feel pain and respond to it.  Many years ago, I found it hard to comprehend the word 'vulnerability' without getting confused. All I knew at the time was that my openness and say-it-all attitude was causing me a lot of self-damage. Alongside being a reserved person, I usually do not carelessly glue with people without being sure of who they are and as a result,  I had just one or two friends. But the moment I chose anyone as a close friend, I got carried away so much that I would willingly unleash every bit of myself; my past, my plans, strengths and weaknesses. Also, I was practically verbo...

Patience in Words

The tongue is powerful than any other organ of the body. It saves and it kills depending on how you have learnt to control it.  Sometimes we say things that we don't mean in a mean way and usually, what we say is weightier and more destructive than what we do. Words are powerful than actions.  Actions may be forgotten easily but when words make a negative and indelible mark on someone's reputation, it is usually difficult to forget.  Meanwhile, we sometimes end up becoming sorry, feeling sad, guilty, and troubled for the wrong things we have said. That is conscience at work! However, it is always too late to rescue especially when such words have bruised trust.   The success of our interpersonal relationships largely depends on our character and manner of communication (the way we talk). Many homes, friendships and marital relationships today have been messed by the reason of poor communication skills. We get into trouble with other people when we fail to exerci...
