Suffocation

There are times in life when a person seems to get suffocated. Everything seems to close around you. It becomes difficult to function normally, thinking goes haywire, logic goes out of the window and the world just seems to weigh down upon us.

Have any of you experienced this, at some point in your lives? I am sure you have. There are times when no matter what you do, you are unable to get out of the situation. You are stuck and really feel helpless and bound.

Your mind starts getting myopic and you cannot see the beauty around you. Even though you are aware of the opportunities before you and what you have to do, you are unable to boost yourself up. The smallest of things starts giving stress and you really become out of tune with who you truly are. Anger, frustration and irritation seem a normal part of your day.

What do we do in these situations? I really feel that this is where the love and support of your loved ones comes into play. When you are unable to smile for yourself, you need someone or something to make you smile. 

A change of scenario will also do wonders. Sometimes we get so wrapped in day to day affairs that it robs us of the simple delights of nature. Take a walk in the woods or go for an adventure holiday. Get in touch with nature. Change the pace of your life. If you live a fast paced life, slow down. Enjoy with your kids. Recharge your batteries with the unlimited power of our planet.

These are times when you need to give your mind a break. Try meditating. Try easing off the worries from your life, at least for an hour a day. 

Learn to relax. Remember its not the end of the world and there will always be a new tomorrow.
