What if you were too rich ?
BeeD • September 17, 2020
What if I were too rich...would I give it all up?
I muse sometimes, that let money flow through me to people and animals and I would be prosperous in all terms of wealth (not just money, but health, happiness, and all goodies of life). But I never would think I would be too rich monetarily - maybe I am not there yet ;) So it is jaw-dropping and consoling when I read about why Chuck Feeny could not be any happier. Read on >
Expressing your feelings on a sheet of paper can cool your brain and help you perform the stress-inducing task more efficiently, finds a study. "findings show that if you get these worries out of your head through expressive writing, those cognitive resources are freed up to work toward the task you're completing and you become more efficient," said lead author. Previous research has shown that expressive writing can help individuals process past traumas or stressful events.

Take one problem at a time. The brain cannot handle multiple problems at a time. Although it does not stop to find solutions, it has limited capability and easily gets tired. The bad thing is that when your brain gets tired, you are now vulnerable to stress and anxiety. But focusing on one problem at a time, however, helps your brain gain more focus. Thus, the problem can be solved easily. And more importantly, every problem solved successfully, the brain rewards itself with ample amount of neurotransmitters that make you assess your life positively. We are having fun communicating with others. And part of these wonderful social interaction tendencies is physical touches. Touching or hugging is essential to our emotional need. If you remove tactile relationship with others, your brain perceives it the way it perceives pain. Therefore, it then produces negative feelings that could potentially lead to stress and depression.

The COVID-19 related social distancing seems to have moved family closer than before. The American routine of work 5 days, and work on your home chores on the weekend seemed to have distanced families to have quality time - it seems like conversations sound like checklists: "finished your homework?", "finish eating", "sleep soon". The life-style was somehow justified in the presence of a socity and family that adapter to the societal standards. Kids born in this culture, seem to adapt.. just as simply as they would have adapted a more serene life-style .. Working from home for a few weeks.. sees like that walk in the woods .. back home... to the basics. While the reality of global pandemic seemed ethereal - close to watching a near apocalyptic movie, many of us have turned this "mishap" to their advantage. To me it means a garden full of weeds wiped out for a wholesome yields; longer hours of work but by window seeing the greenery, hearing to the rain, birds, breaks of visiting the garden, attending meetings in the front porch while the cats played and hunted; keeping my family close by, calling on family in India and USA to check on, and home-made meals with girls while being proudly supervised by the man of the house, and importantly, time to pursue sat sanghs on Bhaja Govindam, Kathopanishad (which I have promised to complete) and Meaningful Mornings. About the garden: two 4x8 and one 5x8 garden bed yielding bushy African marigolds, zinnias, herbs, tomatoes, Indian malabaar, sunflowers, zucchinis, beans, ginger, and the most delightful surprise of dosakaya are among the few of the ambitious palntings... oh yes, Ginger, Thai basil,sweet basil, lemon thyme, oregano... Watching the admirable number of various species of dragon flies, bees, butterflies, American goldfinch, brown and green frogs, and a few sightings of humming bird besides the abominable pests like leaf legged bug, tomato horn worm - removed them when still young! - something that's making the leafs yellow. I came across this interesting article title, The God of Silence Speaks Up , with intriguing-enough teaser on the Browser pockets, that I was tempted to open and resulted in this blog. The picture is from this blog (acknowledged much lol). In gist, yes.. as people and civilizations were curtailed, the nature seems to stalk, stroll, and prance all at once in pursuit of claiming back it's rightful place.. seen as peacocks lay in rows in school porch, lions roaming desolated towns streets among the many others. As we got to spend more time at home, and with our own family members, we listened to whisper and whimper of that call ever so silent, salient, and sanguine. What it said or means .. only each of us have to hear to our own to know.
