People say the first step to overcoming mental challenges is seeing oneself. However, since we are self-centered, it is not easy to see ourselves objectively. In my case, meditation enabled me to overcome being an obsessive perfectionist and improve my mental health.
All I did was discard the root of my mind that is embedded in my body. How wonderful it is to change the way of life! The secret was meditation for me. Now I am free from all the habits.
The reason why we suffer after failing is because we feel ashamed (i.e. our pride is hurt), and/or we feel like we’ve missed out on an opportunity in life (this is due to our inferiority complex/greed). Through meditation we can get rid of our pride, inferiority complex, and greed. The more we do this, the less we will get hung up in situations where things don’t go as we had hoped.
By meditating on myself every day, I took my child one step at a time, little by little. I no longer worry about his future. I had many difficulties raising my son, but thanks to these difficulties, I was able to mature. It makes the happy moments even more precious.
Successful people have already realized the importance of reflecting on their inner selves and managing their minds in their lives. Meditation is to reflect on yourself. A person who grows rapidly is a person who is able to look back on oneself. It is essential to take time to evaluate how I lived and what I need to improve for succeeding and improving myself.
Through meditation, I was able to look back on myself objectively, and free myself from that mind world of pictures, which was the cause of my stress. As I meditated more my self-centered mind became wider and wider and I could understand myself and others so much better. I could see that this wider mind was my true mind as my happiness kept increasing.
Most importantly though, bad habits are very deep rooted (VERY!). The majority of my time I am clearing away lingering bad habits which are causing damage in my body / mind.
Meditation is my greatest tool for sustaining my next action rather than giving up on my thoughts in the middle. The more I discard, the easier it is to act. I’m discarding anxieties about starting social media when I meditate. As I discarded, anxiety and doubts faded away. Now I started to set a plan for my blog instead of worrying without taking action.
Meditation is helping me accept my managers and co-workers. I used to think other people were the cause of my unhappiness. I realized others were not the problem and myself was the problem. Through meditation, I am looking at myself who judges co-workers, managers, clients and I am letting go of these thoughts I created. This has allowed me to accept where I am and find happiness inside me.
My best days, which would be the most productive and joyful days, I do the following and in this order: 1. Start with gratitude - reflect on what I was grateful for the day before
