“The art of letting go” is the way to go.
We are what we eat” say health experts. “We are what we think” say philosophers.
“We are what we do” say holistic health gurus.
There is so much wisdom in all of the above. Just as we try to keep our bodies in shape by physical fitness techniques, training and healthy eating habits, it is equally important to keep our minds free of clutter, negativism and blockages. If our mind is filled with such emotions, no matter how hard we work out to keep our body fit, we will still fall short of achieving the much-desired sense of well-being.
I recall reading a very insightful story about the way we look at things.
A teacher held a glass half filled with water and asked the students what they observed.
Some of them answered: “The glass is half empty,” while others said: “The glass is half full.”
“Just as expected,” said the teacher.
“How about looking at it this way? How long can you hold the glass?” she asked. The class was silent. The teacher said, “For a few seconds, you can easily hold the glass of water. Or even for a few minutes. But if you try to holding it for hours together you start feeling the weight and pain begins, right? Likewise if we harbour negative emotions for too long then it weighs on our mind to the point of hurting us in the process.
