I see clouds, and yes, it shall rain soon. Very very soon.

Thinking basics.

We humans, as a breed, are captives of our own thoughts. Be it wishing for something, anticipating something or crying over something. We all are so used to letting these thoughts take over our mind.  

Don't get me wrong, thinking isn't bad. It keeps us looking forward to things. But there's a difference between wasting your mind space in irrelevant thoughts and  presiding over the relevant ones. And often the rare right ones get overshadowed by the thousands of wrong ones in that space. That's where it becomes important to declutter your mind.

Easier said than done, I know. But then certain approaches might help you. For eg. most of our time is spent in yearning for something or the other. Our aspirations, wishes etc. take a toll over our minds. We pray for them to happen, we get scared in anticipation of results, and then we cry about them if they don't.


However, a different outlook towards it can work it out.  If you KNOW that fulfilling your wish is beyond your capacity, just let it be. Pray for it, hope for the best, but let it be. Because, no matter how much you worry about it, it will happen in its own time, in its own way. On the other hand, if you think you can do something about it, then START DOING it. Act on it. This way, you will know why it happen, whatever happened. Atleast you won't end up being in a clutter of confused thoughts which actually belong nowhere.

Another major torture that we inflict upon our mind - Baggages. We all have them, but it's upto us to decide how long we want to carry them. Stop your mind from thinking about things over and over again. Control your thoughts. Refuse to think about negative things whenever they come to your mind to haunt you. Distract yourself. Keep yourself busy. Or simply speak to yourself and ask those thoughts to get lost-OUT LOUD! It works. Really.

I am not asking to devoid yourself of emotions. It's all okay. We all got to live afterall. We all ought to feel, love, hate, get annoyed, get angry all the time. We're human. But we can surely decide 'Enough is enough' at some point. Afterall why to scar our mind and soul with impressions which won't even matter to you?


Once you're there, in control of your thoughts, you will find newer realms where your mind would like to wander albeit in a constructive way. When I got this advice, I found it the most difficult thing to follow, for 2 weeks. Once achieved, it's the most soothing state of mind you can be in. I hope this post actually helps whoever finds it relevant. Those who didn't find it relevant, just ask your best friends if they think you need to consider it. Afterall they are the ones who've been listening to you cribbing and whining all along. ;)

Peace. :)
