When a result of a global disease causes an ever-changing reality, we are constantly filled with fear, low vibrations, and uncertainty, especially as we miss out on social interaction.
The only certainty is that we are now in this situation. There is nothing else that matters. When we learn to distinguish between our emotions and reality, we become very powerful.
Do you believe you’ll be able to pull it off, though? The basic answer is that by doing so, you can purify your thoughts. Here are my top seven mental cleansing strategies.
1. Meditate
Silence and stillness around you and within you allow you to discover all of the answers you seek outside of yourself. So spend more time meditating and praying. And if you haven’t done it before, this is the time.
2. Chores
Let’s face it, the majority of us despise doing housework. However, have you considered combining chores and mindfulness? Detox by performing your daily tasks. You can try to be conscious of being present in the now when doing the dishes, cooking, or even cleaning, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. The more you do it, the less difficult it becomes. Cooking is a great way to keep your mind active.
3. Ego
Make friends with your thoughts. We become friends with ourselves when we make friends with the ego. We may fully purify our minds and feel that no aspect of ourselves is the enemy if we realize our talents and shortcomings and practice radical self-acceptance. Name your ego, befriend it, and enjoy the process of self-discovery.
4. Focus
Pay attention to your health! Exercise is a simple method to be present at the moment. Exercise is the finest method to connect with yourself, whether it’s a daily yoga practice, the discipline of martial arts, or simply going for a stroll to renew mental health. And, when you go on a walk, don’t forget to hug a tree, smell the roses, and, if possible, walk barefoot on grass, as this helps us connect to Earth’s energy.
5. Constant gratitude
Giving thanks for what you have is an effective ally. I thank my dog, who has health issues, for choosing me to be his mother on a regular basis. This simple act of talking to my dog and thanking him for the teachings helps me recover from trauma and severe health problems, allowing me to feel better about myself and my emotions.
6. Volunteer
Make a difference! Giving to others allows us to feel complete and empowered on the inside. And whenever you’re having a bad day, think of all the people you can help; just thinking about it can help you shift your perspective.
7. Recognize and accept your feelings.
Understand that emotions are neither good nor bad; they simply exist. We need a variety of emotions to function as humans, but self-awareness is essential. Remember to separate yourself from any emotions, breathe more deeply, and accept yourself and your feelings as they are. Make the RADICAL decision to accept yourself.
When the lights go out outside and the world continues to spin in turmoil and uncertainty, the only thing you have control over is who you are and what your life’s purpose is. So go within, cleanse your thoughts, get to know yourself in all of your glory, and discover your inner light.
Focus your attention inwards. Trust your gut instincts. Feel the affection.
