Self-management techniques:Overcoming depressive thinking

One of the best methods is to force our own selves into some kind of creative work. As depression is a state embedded with negative thinking, it will be difficult to stop those thoughts when sit idle and go on thinking meaningless things. Thoughts could be controlled by forcing our own selves into taking up some work that would be useful in some way or the other....When we progress through our work, we receive inner pleasure as those negative thoughts are unable to enter our brain on a continuous basis. Giving physical labor into some meaningful job would even be better....

physical form of work would cleanse our minds of the dirt deposited from our past deeds...it would also act as physical exercise and would fine-tune chemical balance of the body....

An idle mind is the devil's workshop....  we all know
An idle body is the storehouse of  many diseases....

Balancing our mental and physical acts is a great self-management action for a better life ahead..

Key to personal peace and happiness..

If we can work with devotion and pleasure, we shall always be happy and peaceful. Happiness lies in our inner world of thoughts and perception, not in the perception of our behavoiurs by others. But we should be self-confident about all our activities and behaviours. We also need to have a very positive self-image about our own selves and we should never compromise on that aspect.

How to reduce worries ? How to find happiness in normal ordinary life?

We have to  adopt a philosophy of

• LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME, DOING ONE JOB AT A TIME,

• DOING OUR JOB WITH PLEASURE, DEPENDING ON THE PRAYERS TO GOD, GIVING

• OUR BEST IN THE PRESENT TIME, LIVING IN THE PRESENT ,

• NETWORKING WITH GOOD PERSONS AROUND US

• KEEPING OURSELVES PHYSICALLY FIT AND MENTALLY ALERT

• SLEEPING WELL DURING NIGHT

• KEEPING LOW PROFILE AND BEING STRAIGHT-FORWARD

• BEING NOT GREEDY AND JEALOUS ABOUT ANYTHING

Lessons from the past...learning & relearning continues

The most recent lessons were:

1. We need to have enough practice on 'personal anger management', it is tremendous issue in life and patience only solves all major problems in life....

2. One needs to humble in all situations

3. We have no place for arrogance

4. A smiling face solves many tricky problems of life

5. One must try to learn to deal with the difficult persons

Inspiration for exceling at thepersonal level...

The biggest  input to our minds is 'inspiration' from variety of sources connected directly or indirectly with our lives....

Ultimately, that matters in driving us to act is our mindset and mental processes. Inaction is the result of mental and psychic lethargy only. To remove the shell of lethargy from the minds, we need inspirational inputs to our lives. Once we are inspired to better in lives, we get recharged to act in a meaningful manner.

To get inspired we need to have an open mind that continuously seek for those excellent sources in and around us. If we are positive in our attitudes, we absorb those virtues in our inner minds and naturally get inclined to act in similar ways in our respective domains of activities.

Basically, mind is the man. Thinking is the man that I am. My mind only drives me action.

Hence, we should continuously try to improve upon the 'quality of thinking' to better our self work-culture. We should develop our own ways of thinking in depth about anything that requires creativity and innovation. And hence, meditation could form an important component of our daily lives. Vital decisions of our lives could be taken after deep meditation on the subject as well as discussion with like-minded friends.....

QUALITY OF THINKING prepares the foundation of QUALITY OF WORK AND LIFE....
To systematize our thoughts, daily meditation & yoga would help us a lot. Yoga and mediattion would drive us to spiritual thinking and spiritual thinking leads us to peace and happiness. Prayer to God is the only way to clease our minds. A clean mind can do the miracle of  total creativity and innovation in what we do....
