So often, there's so much going on in our minds.

Stress can take away all your energy;

It can paralyze you from head to toe.

When you're numb and are just waiting for days to pass,

When you stir your coffee relentlessly,

Looking for a sign in the patterns in foam that form;

When you can't understand who will or should win-

Your inherent gut feeling or your strongest desires;

When you aren't sure whether you ought to be grateful,

To be able to peek into the future and tell;

Slow down your mental processes.

All the power you've been losing will show up.

Take a breather

Sometimes, it is best to just slow down a bit.

Where there is love and faith,

There ain't no room for stress and mental clutter.

Ask yourself- question the impossible, if you will;

What if the Lord makes a mistake with your life?

What if He is unable to deliver?

Will you still trust Him as much?

Or Is your love part of a bargain offer?

No, you aren't losing your mind.

It is okay to want to sort the facts out for yourself.

Smile- your time is close!

You could have done anything else with your life.

You'd have long been where you've always wanted to be.

Watching the others up on that high pedestal hurts.

But there is a reason why your goals are different.

Don't let envy bite you in the face.

Eat up your surprise.

Aren't they serving as great examples for you?

Ordinary people have gone on to glorify their names.

Soon, you will, too.

I'll be here no matter what

You were worried to feel no stress until yesterday.

Today, you're so anxious that you feel frozen.

You swallow repeatedly on account of a dry mouth.

You breathe short, fiery, frequent, raspy breaths.

Result- You find that you're left oxygen-deprived.

You fumble with your phone, wondering whom to call.

You're talking to yourself, thinking up a solution.

You hear me screaming in your mind-

"Is this what I've taught you for so long??"

STOP.

I'm not saying any of that!

I want you to be honest with me.

So what if you're scared?

Will lying about it help?

Soak in the luxury of a day off! :)

Taking a break is fine.

Retain your sanity and take care of you.

That itself is an important job.

You're doing commendably well.

It is easy for you to pick up the loose ends.

You're forging ahead, taking giant strides each time.

Several people quit at the same stage that you're at.

You're a fighter.

Life is demanding you to look UP

You've always had very high expectations from yourself.

You've known for sure that you're capable of the best.

You're intelligent.

You're sensible.

You know that you grasp like a sponge.

You've learnt to be calm.

You've trained your mind to think positive thoughts.

Remember each thing I've said here.

YOU are the person I'm referring to.

Obstacle = Perception defect

The solution to life's problems lies in your perception.

You don't like biscuits.

But one fine day-

You decide to have some with your coffee/tea.

You dip one in for a tiny fraction of a minute.

And oops! :( :( :( It's gone. :0

It's sitting at the bottom of your unsweetened beverage.

Are you going to get ticked off?

OR Will you dare to wonder if life is hinting at you?

Burned-out?

It is a beautiful new day, today. :)

Don't chide yourself on having a bit of fun.

You WILL complete every task you've been assigned.

You will even outdo your target.

Your happiness, energy and bounce will make it happen.

  

Yes, D-day is close.

But life is NOW.

You don't harm one event to benefit the other, do you?

So, the pressure is building, huh?

1. Do one simple thing first.

STOP repeating that lame sentence to yourself.

It ain't doing you no good.

2. A little anxiety is good.

But you're letting it blow out of proportion.

THAT is sabotage- pure sabotage.

You aren't working for the enemy camp, are you?
