I don’t know if I attract depressed people, vulnerability, or that people judged that they should feel comfortable telling their darkest low towards me. Or it’s just a fact that people are being stressed more easily nowadays. Maybe life pressure is higher now, or that mental strength is weakening.
Sometimes I feel like maybe my role is a healer, but I don’t seem like it. I’m not really healing. I never feel like I heal someone. Although I do hope my presence at least could become a temporary pain reliever.
So for you, for those people whom somehow are unfortunate enough to know me. Here is what I want you to know. Something that I hope can heal you.
First of all,
Accept.
Your pain and your suffering. It exists.
Then, watch it. Watch your pain and suffering. Where does it come from? It never comes in your bodily senses. It comes from your brain. Most pain that I know come from regretting the past or worrying about the future. You live now. You breathe now. You are always safe in the present. Be in the present.
Now while you are in the present. Imagine you have no memory of the past, and no imagination about the future. You exist only in this time, the current time, together with the walls around you, with the phone you are holding, with the people you are with.
Third, make yourself busy. Nothing to do is a friend to mind wandering. Because what is the easiest thing to do when my arms and legs are not moving?
Fourth, let go. By understanding the misery of dwelling in past memories and worrying about the future. One realizes that it’s of no use and unproductive. Therefore they stop doing it. Everytime his mind wanders, there’s a brake to stop doing it.
Fifth, breathe, feel the air you are breathing. Your body that accepts the air. That’s all that matters. Throughout all the misfortunes you may have experienced. You are lucky. You are loved. This can be planned or not planned but please do believe that everything that has happened, it’s because you are loved.
