RE: Psychology Addict # 28 | Mindfulness - Acceptance, Awareness & Being Present
What i cant find in article is the "Subject" i.e. the person bearing all this, is happiness/sadness dependent upon 'external factors' only? suppose i dont have wealth and if i find wealth then would all my worries go away? so 'wealth' is external factor causing me sadness, "what about me?", so all my happiness is dependent upon others or it is dependent upon me? i cant control others so it means i cant control my happiness.
according to me it is not other people who control my mood, but it is me who reflect my "holes/shortcomings" upon other people and blame them for my 'sufferings'. So how to be "self sufficient" is the question? and that "self sufficiency" comes by accepting the "other person" causing that sadness to be "self sufficient", allowing him/her to do what he wants instead of "controlling" him.
May be this observation is flawed, please guide. may be this emotional issue be addressed "emotionally/spiritually" instead of "physical (heart beat rate/ breathing etc) taking into account .
Hello dear @kay-khosa :)
Thank you for taking the time to comment and reflect on this topic. Let's see if I manage to answer your questions in a satisfactory way :)
Since mindfulnes can be adopt as a way of facing our day to day life events the subject here is each one of us. Futher, the post points out precisely the fact that peace (not happiness) is within us and not beyond.
All the best :)
Hi Dear @abi :)
Hahahaha..
My "tag of people" say their prayers (5 times a day :) ) after performing ablution (cleanliness gives me alot of happiness and energy :)), prayers consist of different steps and recitations (with the passage of time these recitations embed so deep in your mind that they become automatic reciting them, and they go in a sort of background), it is a sort of "active meditation" technique where all elders, youngers, poor, rich, black and white are equal.
it gives alot of peace of mind and is sort of social gathering.
Just wanted to share it, It is not about pointing out "things", it is just about interacting with you and others in a friendly way. You are expert of your field and em a common Joe :)
Hope you dont mind me calling you @abi :)
Hi my dear :)
Of course I don’t mind you calling me Abi. Also, I love when you share some facts of your culture with us.
All the best!
