End your inner drama
Swimming in sea of thoughts, you run into waves of feelings. Something crossed your mind again and again that day. Something was intriguing, something irritating, something depressing. When you got free for the day, lying on the bed to have a sleep and to get prepared for the struggle of the next day, again that thinking took charge of your mind. And you were taken away with the flow somewhere far, very far.
Mostly nature of those thoughts, which take you so much far from your present moment, is not a happy one. These thoughts are mix of anxiety, worry, regret and guilt. That is a full-on drama being played on the center-stage of your mind. And it just go on and on, and you do not realize when this wave of thoughts take you to the sea of feelings. And yes. Now feelings take over the center-stage.
End your inner drama
Apparently, these feelings which are the outcome of the unhappy thoughts, must not be good ones. These are sad ones, shaking, bullying, harassing or hurting you enormously in this dark hour of night. And you are so much far from the present that the current time in clock doesn’t matter for you at all. Present has no space and this moment has no existence. Either you are in pain of the dry wounds of past or you are in tension of the doubtful plans of future.
Present is all what you have
Moreover, if you are still more sensitive, these sad feelings will take no time to introduce you with depression. That can be much more menacing than you can ever think of. The better way to keep yourself safe from more difficult situation is this. Don’t let your inner drama go so far from the present that your return becomes a difficult journey.
Tell yourself time and again that present is all what you have. Past was just a moment in shape of present that has gone, and future will come to you as present only. Try to know where the end of your inner drama lies, and don’t go too far. However, note that being sad occasionally is not depression. But trying to be a little less unhappy can take you towards bliss faster.
