Our mind is just not limited to subjective and objective feelings. It is also not just the seat of intelligence. It loves amusement as much as rest, juxtaposed by habitual periods of activity. Get the point? People, especially night workers, who deprive themselves of adequate sleep show signs akin to psychosis. This demystifies the seven-eight hours\u2019 benchmark of sleep, which most people living in cities fail to achieve. In other words, the quantum of sensory stimulation and information processing we do each day compels us to find enough time for physical rest \u2014 to uphold mental strength and balance. The fact is modern living does not allow us to tweak our senses to process an endless flow of stimuli. The paradox also is we are recompensed for it. What, therefore, takes a pounding is easy to guess \u2014 our \u2018turning inwards.\u2019<\/p>\n

There\u2019s much in common between life and cricket. The two have a precise, regimental routine. Like the way, you hit the road in the morning to reach your office desk, or \u2018King\u2019 Virat Kohli attempting to stroke the ball sweetly from the word \u2018go.\u2019 It sets the rhythm. If anything goes off-beam with the tempo, one gets edgy. You go on doing your job, all right, but the flow somehow takes the backseat. For all you know, everything could change, for the better, the following day. But, not all of us think in this manner. Isn\u2019t it time we all did \u2014 for our own good and for everyone\u2019s good?<\/p>\n

Think of yourself as a tennis player too \u2014 on the centre court called life. Strive to be a part of Wimbledon in your mind\u2019s compass. This will help you get \u2018centred.\u2019 Also, focused. Most people are out of sync and balance because they don\u2019t give enough time to \u2018centre.\u2019 Just place yourself at the \u2018centre.\u2019 You\u2019ll see how things work for you \u2014 not against you. In so doing, you\u2019ll also not get subjugated by the pressure others put on you \u2014 or, you self-inflict upon yourself. \u2018Centring\u2019 is the key to open the mind-body-soul door of life.<\/p>\n

\u2018Centring\u2019 is the process of soul-searching. It\u2019s the catalogue of our thoughts, feelings, insights, and attitudes. It\u2019s the one that provides us the means to explore our soul. It\u2019s as good as silent reflection, or being in meditation. It\u2019s a small step, all right, but a giant leap for your mind and also consciousness. Well, it isn\u2019t easy to fine-tune your mind, body, and soul, without concerted endeavour. Nothing in life is \u2014 there\u2019s no free lunch in this world.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have an over-the-counter [OTC] product that can tug your mind and galvanise you to reach your \u2018centre.\u2019 Nonetheless, there are a few things which all of us could do \u2014 without much ado. Just keep at it; and, explore an array of modes. Select the one that appeals best and also works for you. When you discover a method that makes you feel good, \u2018patent\u2019 it as your own. Next, integrate it into your daily schedule. This holds promise \u2014 the promise of success. It animates you to reach your goal faster. It isn\u2019t certainly a magic potion, but a \u2018to-do\u2019 well thing.<\/p>\n

The world we all live in is a stage, or means, to experience as many things as possible. It is not a location for us to get isolated by the songs of our own burden, or difficulties that tend to hamper our journey in life. Troubles are nothing, but interruptions \u2014 they are the spice of life. They are the condiments that give success its flavour, down the line \u2014 if only we try well with focused intent and go the full distance.<\/p>\n
