Here is what happens when we allow the servant mind to play the role of master. Our head is filled with so many thoughts about this and that, that our minds spin constantly in a web around sometimes useless information and scenarios, that the servant mind created from the outside world. We continuously replay this information and scenarios over and over again to our own detriment, without acknowledging that we have the opportunity at anytime to change it. Perhaps with the January blues, along with the winter weather blues, there are feelings that we always have to fight for our place in the universe and why does everything have to be such a struggle. We tend to spend way too much time comparing our journey to others or feeling that we are not where we are meant to be, either in our career or our personal life. Intellectually we know that we belong here as much as the next person, but, emotionally, when our insecurities or fears creep in, it allows the servant mind to take a trip.
Here is what happens when we allow the mind to be the master of its own destiny and bring relief from the servant mind trip its been playing. The master of your own mind is Meditation. Just by taking several moments each day, to sit quietly, with your eyes closed, gently breathing in and out, letting go of all your perceived expectations and goals, will help to ground your energy and allow you to find your own unique light within the universe. Feeling rejuvenated and keeping your mind as your master not your servant, you can create the joy you are seeking, the beauty and fulfillment you are missing and experience the contentment of just being still and in the moment. Ahhhh!!
Now, we cannot do anything about January or the winter weather blues, but we can do something about supporting our own unique mind journey. Just saying……
