Weekend Musing: 3/n

Mind Matters.

I was sick last week; therefore, I had a lot of time for myself. Except for the times when the medicines got me high, I used the idle time to ponder about life. Honestly, it wasn’t a great time pass, but it was sure an eye-opener.

One thing that has stayed with me of the many thoughts is the art of being with oneself. With so many distractions we have created, there is barely any time remaining for ourselves. Also, we rarely sit with our thoughts and set ourselves free. So in a situation where we can’t kill time, it gets too overwhelming for us. It was for me too.

But in the depths of solitude, I found self-awareness. The most crucial lesson learned was that I am not very comfortable with my thoughts. Though I try to observe my behavior, thoughts, words, and actions — there are hundreds of aspects that I would like to be better at or change.

I am at least glad about the fact that the illness made me realize this. Now, I take out time to do nothing but sit with myself and reflect on everything & anything.
