Lessons by Carma- 2021

2021 helped us master the skills of resilience, perseverance and sustainability. Trying to assemble these skills might have been the need of the hour considering the new norm of the pandemic, but it has definitely contributed to the art of survival.

When you look back, you would remember those that greatly contributed to your well-being. Let us also take a look at the lessons that you might have skipped or left unnoticed.

Lessons by Carma

#1 Overreaction= rejection of your initial gut feeling

Consider an incident in which you might have overreacted. Now, think deeply, was it really necessary? We often tend to ignore the first gut feeling that comes to our minds. Self-esteem issues, need for assurance, wanting to be liked, all these might account to a few reasons that make you deny your instant gut feeling. When you look back, you will realize that most of the time your gut feeling was always right.

Your overreaction was a product of you conflicting your gut, trying to prove a contradicting point or trying to sugar-coat the obvious. This leads to extreme dissatisfaction and may affect your overall well-being. We often tend to fight our gut to paint a positive picture instead of seeing the bigger picture.

You knew things would turn out a certain way, yet…

Well, you should take pride in the fact that you tried. Time will show you how. When you look back, always keep in mind the ones who took out the time to understand you and those who called you crazy.

#2 No guidance = hidden self-guide

When people refuse to help you, guide you or direct you, take it positively. This extreme disregard for your requests to help you out might have nothing to do with you. Never take it personally. There are a billion ways to receive help. You just need to figure out the best way. Many people refrain from helping you because they don’t want to equip you with the right techniques. They fear that you would do much better because you CAN.

Always keep an eye for those who did help you or spent a minute of their busy schedule on you. They’re the ones who are secure in their life and wish the best for you till you discover your hidden self-guide.

#3 Let time entertain you but don’t be quick to judge

Never be quick to judge someone. Let people show you who they truly are, but at their expense. You shouldn’t waste a second of your precious time to figure out anyone else’s actions. Let their actions fumble so you’re sure about your opinions. Most of the time, when you refrain from judgement, you are freer. Don’t pay much heed to negativity and also give them the benefit of the doubt. You never know what value a person could add to your life even if they were mistakes that they made. 

As Carma says, “people are not all that cruel and complicated. It’s just a matter of circumstances.”

#4 Never hold on to betrayers

What would you even expect if you did? If you take betrayal seriously, that’s great. It implies that you have standards and there are specific reasons why you choose people or situations to invest yourself into. Those who betray you don’t have the power to face you. They cannot handle the enormity of you.

You’re aiming higher because that’s where you belong, don’t stoop down for those who can’t see your worth. Betrayal is unforgivable and an eye-opener at the same time. Take the latter in stride and move towards loyalty. Oh! It exists.

#5 Start playing mind games with yourself

Trick your mind into believing what you want to manifest. Your mind is the most important part of your body. It’s the director of your life. Feed it with health and positivity, that’s how you will eventually develop a powerful persona and a true sense of self.

To conclude, every New Year brings a collective new beginning. True beginnings start from within, each and every day. Make the most of the things that happen in your life. If you’re able to positively believe that a rejection is a redirection, you’re a winner!

Write your own story. Do your thing.

There is no limit to the truth. Truth itself becomes a limitation.

carma_therealyou

We’re often placed with the complexities of our reality but fail to accept them. Sometimes we place situations into categories that best suit what our idea of the situation should be like.

As human as possible, we tend to alter our reality to fit what we tend to idealize. In that, expect layers and layers of blankets to cover up what is actually placed before our eyes. While doing so, we fail to address the main issue. What do we do when the layers are taken out?

There is no limit to the truth.

Dig deeper through the layers and find massive collections of untouched bothering, hidden dimensions of reality and accumulation of lies and dishonesty.

But the moment you get past it and trust me, one day you will, you will have no more to dig out, no more to search and no more excuses to give.

The truth itself becomes a limitation.

A limitation that gets you on your toes, fumbles your words and disheartens the soul. Once the carefully laid layers come off, seek no further and take with you that which meets the eye!

So, next time, instead of letting layers unfold a story that breaks ties, bonds and belief systems, try dealing with the rawness of reality, right at the start. Face the truth instead of waiting to unfold the layers laid in front of you. Not only would you be unprepared for its revelations, you will also get taken aback by the impact of its enormity.

Never let truth take a back seat. For often, it’s the only thing that could save the untold…

The ‘more than the normal’ realization

Life is truly a book of wisdom that you take in one step at a time. It doesn’t come with instructions but surely gives you a chance to explore yourself and return back to its guidelines. By guidelines I mean what you should ideally go through but arrogantly refuse when you want to explore the variations in front of you. In this constant exposure to varying versions of yourself, you will always stumble upon this one rule; a realization of sorts.

I call it the ‘more than the normal’ realization.

We all have a basic sense of what is normal. Very often we alter our sense of normalcy to adjust to things or people around us. Surely a good deal to adapt to life as you grow in its depth. But keeping in mind the basic idea of normal, always notice actions, behaviours, patterns and gestures that are ‘more than the normal’.

Do you come across an incessantly crying baby in the hallway? Do you experience anxiety issues with an overly hyper person? Do you see excessive anger and rage blurting out of a normal request? Sometimes, you might even find yourself stuck in a maze of adjusting way too much to other situations or opinions. In all, you might experience the more than the normal realization. In that, whatever you face with someone that is more than the normal or more than the basic amount of worry, rage, sadness or joy, is rather a mere realization that it has nothing to do with you.

Once you attain this realization, the next would be taking a slight step back to understand how secure you are in your own shoes. Do you feel the need to react? Do you think that you are actually the cause of that behaviour? Can you help? Choose a sensible approach towards the situation but most importantly, be secure in your standing of not getting carried away.

Try the more than the normal realization concept. It will not only save a lot of your time and energy but will also pose as a healthy way to let things go easily.
