Mindset?

 Begin with the interior, because things are about to get really messy.

It all goes into the grave, your life. It’s scary - death. Not the death itself, it’s scary that will we be able to do everything we want to before that. Will be satisfied with this life to let go? Will our family be okay when we’re gone?

Life - is full of uncertainties, life views/philosophy.

3 days have passed by, I have not stepped out of my house. I don’t know who to talk to exactly when it comes to what I am feeling or why am I feeling the way I am, it’s weird this phase of life, trying to figure everything out for ourselves. I feel the need to be productive so I distanced myself from all social interactions, only to feel very confused about life at 10:21 pm wondering if I am making the right decisions. I have been working the last three days, but the days feel short. Not sure why, they just feel like they disappear so quickly, am I getting trapped by time? Am I making myself a prisoner? I am not sure yet. Social interactions exhaust me. They seem nice at the moment, but it just feels super tiring. I am really struggling to try to figure out who and what I am. This game of knowing who we are is a struggle. I feel like I need to know now, because I have set deadlines for myself with certain age limits, to tick off a few things from my checklist, and sometimes I wonder if I am even walking in the right direction.

Neha, you’re life is not meant to be like anyone. Social media has allowed you to be influenced by what people do, but neither do they have the goals you do and the purpose you have, or neither they do, so don’t compare your journey for god’s sake. It’s okay to take a few days to work on things, I am not sure that’s creating a balanced life, but sometimes for your mind’s peace, it’s a good thing. The only reason you’re weirding out is that this is not how the normal world looks at things. You’re having a sheep moment.

Go back to focusing on getting your India tickets, haha.

Mindset is also something important when it comes to focusing on tasks or just getting distracted all the time. When we have a lot of things to do and we just can’t seem to be focused on, it’s important to be grounded. There have been times when I have so many things to do that I have just ended up doing absolutely nothing. It seems so overwhelming and not know where to start. Should we call this a Mind Reset chapter instead? haha.

How do I stay focused on a goal, or an objective? When the lines seem super blurry? It’s not about the people anymore, what they think, what they want. It’s about being self-aware and caring about what I think and what I want. This isn’t selfish. I think people often term others selfish when they aren’t getting the things they want from them, or when they expect too much out of the person. It sort of is a desire they want of themselves that they inflict on others, unfortunately, the irony is - that this itself is selfish.

Learning more on our own psychology, the things that have played an effect on us, actually help us see and understand our inner workings better. There are many tools that can help us. Only when we know what inner workings we have, we’ll be able to help that more quickly. This definitely does also require support from the people around you, and if that’s not the case, then it’s wise to take a step back to reboot the new workings and join them later. You’ll know who needs to stay, only those who evolve with you, the others you might have to only have beautiful memories and message time to time.
