Take a Chill Pill – Your body is asking you to go SLOW

We understand a number of things that are spelt out in our life and also advise people on how we need to live our lives.  I did that, so I want to share what I feel so that we can slowly start making changes in our lives and make  it more healthier and happier.  With a lot of awareness about physical and mental health that is catching up, I am sure many of my friends will be able to relate to it. 

When it comes to our body, we somehow tend to simply ignore the signs that our body sends out.  The body is actually telling us to take a chill pill and go a bit SLOW.  That’s all it is asking.

Believe me, our body is the most precious thing that we can call our own.  It is not going to let you down whatsoever, but when it is being abused (sorry to use this term) without any thought, it slows down. Here physical abuse implies overeating, overworking, overdrinking, not sleeping enough and not giving the body enough rest.   There was a point in time, when I overworked for no reason.  The fast pace that we tend to follow thinking that there is tough competition and we will be left behind the rat race is actually playing havoc in our lives.

The world is not going to come to an end, if you are not able to get that promotion or are not able to buy that new sedan that has been recently launched. Life is still going to continue and no one is going to hang you for not buying these luxuries.  Your family is not going to stop loving you, so don’t feel guilty. Let’s get a little slow and follow the soft and happy rhythm of life. 

Have you ever gone in a Rajdhani train?  The super speed of the train is worth appreciating and it covers a big distance, but when we actually try and see out, we are not able to form clear images of the beauty outside.  Our life is exactly like this, when we tend to move superfast in our life without pausing and thinking and simply moving on, we tend to miss out on all those beautiful moments and precious incidents in life.   Initially, it may be a little difficult to slow down the pace all of a sudden, but try putting the hand brake once in a while and see how things are transformed. You will feel lighter from within and less stressed out.

So, try going a little slow, you will see beautiful things passing by your way which you had never seen before.  Enjoy the JOURNEY !!! Trust me, it's worth it.

Luv u all so much
