For
those who are being troubled and influenced strongly by negative
emotions and feelings (such like anger, jealousy, depression, anxiety,
fear, worry, low self-esteem and etc...), and don't know how to come out
from it because we don't know how to stay detached from all these
activities in the mind, then we may try to change this stubborn habit of
attachment in the mind towards these negative feelings and emotions by
learning and speaking another language that we are not familiar with, or
adopting new interests...
It
will shift something in the brain and without any expectation, we might
find ourselves suddenly or gradually becoming more positive and
cheerful...
If we are not
interested in learning languages, then we can try to learn something
new and interesting that we are not familiar with (of course these new
interests should be something that will bring positive effects and
peaceful harmony to our body and mind)...
Or
gradually break a long term stubborn habit of our behavior (such like
switch on the TV as soon as we step into the house, or open the door of
the fridge even though we know there is nothing that we want from the
fridge, or looking at the watch frequently, or have the need of a cup of
coffee at specific time, and etc)...
Or try to perform some
selfless service (to ourselves and other beings without discrimination
and attachment) without asking any rewards in return. Just give and let
go...
It will still give
the same effect of changing the habits of the mind. Of course it takes
time, patience and perseverance to see any result (without expectation).
Give
it a try, if we are tired of negative feelings and emotions that
persistently troubling us, and we really want to make a change of
ourselves, want to be kind and compassionate towards ourselves, and want
to live to the fullest, be more positive and cheerful...
Be happy.
Thank for your sharing~
