mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Life is full of challenges. It never fails to test you. Suppose your employer thinks you aren’t competent enough for your job. And he wants you to quit it. What are you going to do at that point? How are you going to deal with this situation? Such scenarios will never stop appearing. They will continue to disrupt your disciplined life. The only thing you must acknowledge is to keep going with this belief that this too shall pass. Managing your thoughts and taking the right step at such a crucial hour will prove your capabilities.  Now it depends on whether you rise again or prove them wrong. The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is to realise that you are enough and you aren’t compared to anyone. People doubting your abilities makes you feel unworthy. It lowers your self-esteem and decreases your motivation.  Altering your mindset is essential in changing your lifestyle.

Altering your mindset is necessary for overcoming daily life challenges. Challenges never stop coming into your life; you just have to establish ways to cope with them. 

How do we define adversity?

Any negative approach including poverty, rejection, struggling to succeed in a career or losing a loved one comes under the area of adversity.  We may all have to deal with adversity at some point in our lives. All of us have different coping mechanisms. So one way cannot work for the other.

What happens when adversity hits an individual?

Whenever it strikes, thousand of thoughts strike your mind at that point. You feel physically and mentally numb. You start to hate yourself. You gradually indulge yourself in stress and mental illnesses. First off first you have to let go of any expectations. It’s useless to cry over spilt milk. We cannot bring anything back. Just move on. It’s completely alright. If anything has dragged you down, you should not worry. You will succeed after facing failures. Accepting change is hard but it is necessary to make you strong and formidable. Mental health is necessary to overcome incoming challenges and hurdles. Bad things happening to you aren’t your fault. It is written in your destiny. And none can change it. To increase your resilience, it is necessary to let go.

The next step helps in overcoming adversity.

Refrain from making excuses

People who always blame others for their adversities are most likely to remain troubled. How can we free ourselves? if you are facing some challenges due to your own mistakes, don’t stress yourself too much. Even if it’s not your mistake just accept it and move on.  We often think that if we blame others we may feel contented. In this way, we never improve. Always making others guilty for your mistakes won’t let you get anywhere. You will continue to lag. And you can never be able to stand on your own. Stop making excuses and own what you have done. Don’t let yourself rot in a state of constant denial. Be brave and encounter it.

Positive self-talk

Well, it’s human nature to overthink every possible scenario. They tend to anticipate future incomings. And surprisingly most of the time they have to encounter those anticipated situations. At this point, you should continue to cheer yourself. So self-talk is necessary to unleash your true skills. We should continue praising ourselves. ‘I did great today”, “I am smart enough to get this job” I have prepared for this exam very well”. Such positive sentences help in uplifting self-esteem and you eventually do wonders. Maintain consistency and have a firm belief in yourself that you can do it. No matter how many times you fall you still can do it. 

Use your sense of humour

Everyone loves to laugh. Laughing boosts your mood and uplifts your sadness and depression. Laughing costs nothing. What are you waiting for then? A good sense of humour is a true blessing. Laughing results in the release of some happy hormones from the body. It also helps in strengthening the immunity of the human body making you less vulnerable to diseases. That’s certainly the reason why comedians live more than normal human beings. Life is too short to repent for your mistakes. Give it a huge laugh and move on.

Have faith 

Whenever we encounter adversity, we eventually lose faith. We think of the worst possible scenarios. Saying things like “ why it always happens to me?”, “Probably I am the bad luck”. Losing faith in yourself and God will make you sink into the depression. Hold on a little and you will be rewarded. We are impatient and want things to get done in no time. However, that’s not how the world works.

Celebrate success with positive mindsets 

No matter how big or small your success is. Celebrate it and acknowledge your skills and aptitudes. Your surroundings matter a lot. A man is known by the company he keeps. Surround yourself with positive mindset people. Such people will never let you fall. They will always instil some positive part in you keeping you motivated. 

That’s all for today’s blog post. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

In this modern era about every third person is suffering from anxiety and stress. And anxiety is the root cause of overthinking. We tend to ruminate about many things in our life. Some are negative thoughts and some are just worrisome thoughts. We can even redirect our thoughts to become useful for us. I will tell you some ways to reduce the habit of overthinking. Let’s start!

Become aware of your thoughts 

Start by becoming aware of your thoughts. What is going on inside our heads? What are these thoughts all about? It is important to realise what are the things that are triggering overthinking in your mind. Is the workspace triggering it? Or is it the social space provoking it? try to predict the situation so that you can manage it. Self-improvement starts with self-acceptance. it is easier to identify your flaws but accepting them is a big hell of a task. A doctor can not prescribe medicine until he diagnoses the disease likewise the flaws cannot be overcome until they are accepted. Don’t let your thoughts become restricted to your mind only. Let them out and write them in a journaling book. Keeping a journal book is an effective way to let things out. Whenever you write those random things out on paper you become more aware of your limitations. 

Daily activities

As the proverb goes, an empty mind is a devil’s house. We tend to overthink more when we have nothing to occupy the space of our brain. Whenever we have something on our mind to keep us going we are less likely to ruminate. It is highly suggested to keep ourselves busy with daily tasks. Like when going out for a walk keep yourself focused on the surroundings instead of thinking in your bubble. The key is you have to control the mind and don’t let the mind control you. While walking in the park, become observant and try to notice everything around you instead of becoming a prisoner to thoughts. Engage your mind so that it won’t be able to overthink. It is highly recommended to try novel things more often. We want our minds to be attentive. Trying out new things will force them to participate in the activities. For example, you can learn to drive a car, and you can also engage yourself in some ted talks or social gatherings, etc.

Scheduled worry 

It is the best way to handle your brain. We can just tell our brain that we remember the worry and we know we have to handle it. Just delay the worry by writing it down in a journal and say I will worry about it at 2 pm or I will do it at night. In this way, your brain will become relaxed and will stop nagging you all the time for the particular task. Your brain likes boundaries and it is advised to keep it engaged.

Meditation 

The ultimate way to control your mind is to meditate. Meditation is the only way by which you can tame your thoughts. Mediation has many benefits and it is one of them. Since meditation helps you achieve a relaxed, calmer, and serene mind, that is why it assists you in controlling your crazy chimp mind as well.

Concrete thoughts 

Concrete things are all about the things that are practically achievable. Write down those things only that you think are practically achievable. For instance, complaining about why I can’t be happy like my friends. Instead of these gloomy thoughts try reminiscing about what I can do today to make myself happy. Look for more concrete things. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!

Identify your strength and weaknesses

In my opinion, identifying the problem is the main scenario. When you are unaware of what is going wrong then you will never be able to correct it. It is necessary to recognize the abilities that an individual possesses. For example, every person has his/her strengths and weaknesses. But not everyone is aware of them. Sometimes people come into the wrong profession because they never become able to recognize their true qualities. They always do what others tell them to. They don’t even try to unleash their true skills. If a person identifies that he/she has great leadership qualities. Then he can go for the seat of director in a company. If he has great communication skills then he can apply to some marketing companies. It depends on how proficient you are in your skills and if you are weak in some of your skills like you do not know how to attend social gatherings or else you are unaware of giving a presentation to the company due to lack of confidence. then you can work on them too. You can work on yourself to boost your morale and self-confidence. In this way, your weakness will become your strength as well.

 Ask for feedback

Sometimes it happens that we do not identify our actions as mistakes. Because every individual has their perspectives. Not everyone thinks the same. So it is better to take feedback from the masses so that you can mend your ways. For example, if they think you are unapproachable. Then ask them the reason. Just because you do not have enough communication skills or you are lacking self-confidence.  You can ask people how they feel about your leadership skills. Do they think of you as a better leader? Because few people are leaders, most of them are only. Leaders work with their employees whereas the boss just orders them around. Try improving your ways and constantly ask peeps about them. Because business is with the masses. And you have to deal with them. So you gotta develop your skills to handle them. 

Accept criticisms and suggestions 

While in a workspace employees have to deal with many types of clients. Some of them are impudent and some of them are forgivers. But you have to develop skills and patience to deal with them. Some will write bad about you and some will write well. You have to take this criticism as a positive approach to develop your character. In the beginning, criticism always lets you down. But afterward, you began to take it as positive criticism and start developing your skills. Now the point arises that development is not a problem. But to train them is a bigger task. The best person in the race is one who has the best of best skills in his area. A winner is always the one who has proficiency in his skills. That is why he/she is called a winner because he/she unleashes the true capabilities to win every race.

In concluding the whole discussion I must say that you should focus on improving your weaknesses instead of working over and over on your strengths. Unleashing something novel in your personality can be done by having social gatherings with new people. It can help you expand your network. Suggestions from friends and families can help you even better with our qualities. That’s all for today’s video. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Bye bye

Hey, guys hope you all are living your best lives. Welcome back to consultant mindset that mainly aims at providing consultancy and guidance for everyday living. It gives you excellent ideas to mend your ways of living and uplift the standards of your life. Today’s topic of our video is to provide ways by which meditation can help you improve your living standards. Meditation is a practice by which an individual can focus on one particular thought or object. It helps them to remain mindful of their thoughts and reasonings. In just a scenario we know that most of the time people are always confused when the question comes to making a decision. Their thoughts become cloudy and vague. They become unable to focus on one thing only. So meditation is for such masses to help them remain focused on one particular thought. Let’s get straight into this video. But before that don’t forget to like, share and subscribe. Let’s jump right into it.

Reduces stress

The foremost benefit of meditation is that it helps you to reduce the stress levels of your body. In the present era, almost every individual faces stressed conditions. Some people face it due to business matters. Students face it due to the pressure of exams or studies. In short, everyone is surrounded by some tension or stress in their lives. According to science, how this stress mechanism exactly works is that we have adrenal glands just above the kidneys that release stress hormones mainly called cortisol. Some people even develop a stressed belly due to extremely stressed-out conditions. What does meditation do in this scenario? it not only helps you to cool down but also lets you think of another pathway. So that you do not remain in an unpleasant situation. Stress only increases your blood pressure and can cause hypertension. So it is necessary to bring down the levels of cortisol in the body. Meditation should be practiced in every household to remain healthy and fit.

Improves Insomnia

 

Insomnia is a condition where a person is unable to sleep. He cannot sleep due to the increased level of stress hormones in the body. Since increased levels of cortisol can lead to anxiety disorders. It automatically decreases your amount of sleep. It leads you to restlessness, moodiness, irritability, and some other psychological symptoms. An increased level of stress hormones reduces your sleep automatically. A person can sleep only if he is relaxed and in a calm state. By relaxing your body from head to toe you can ease your thoughts and can organize your thoughts. This is the best way to help reduce your tangled thoughts and can prove to be beneficial in relieving insomnia and correcting your sleep cycle. Nowadays it is a common problem among the masses that they cannot fall asleep at night. This sleeplessness is due to anxiety disorders. This can be overcome by practicing meditation on a daily basis. 

Decreased blood pressure 

Meditation not only lessens the anxious conditions but also decreases the high levels of blood pressure that are mainly due to stressful conditions. People with high blood pressure mainly suffer because their blood pressure rises due to increased overthinking. You can say everything in the human body is connected. Our brain has a pituitary gland in it. It mainly controls the metabolism of our body. It also affects the adrenal glands of the body that are responsible for controlling the number of stress hormones.  Increased levels of stress hormones eventually increase blood pressure. In this way, the human body is connected. Hypertensive people in Pakistan are mainly due to the stressed conditions in our country. Meditation controls the flight or fright response of our body that is under the control of the parasympathetic nervous system. Meditation cools down and relaxes the nerves that are responsible for the flight or fright response. 

In the end, I must say we should normalize practicing mediation. Most people think of it as a traditional method and mostly rely on medication. But they should take meditation into account that it is a useful method to reduce stress levels in the body. We should raise awareness among people about this as well. So that some of them only rely on medication. That’s all for today’s video. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Take care bye-bye
