Anxiety vs. Resilient Mind

 Hello Readers!


Akshat is back with another post! Normally, I provide him with a list of topics to choose from but this time, when I asked him if he had something in mind, he surprised me by suggesting "Anxiety and a Resilient Mind" all on his own. I was genuinely impressed by his initiative. It took him around 10-12 days to complete this short write-up, but it will only take you a minute to read and share your thoughts.

So, take a moment to read it, and don't forget to leave a comment!

See you,

Anxiety vs.  A Resilient Mind

Akshat Rassay

24-9-24

Imagine you are fond of chole bhature and go to a restaurant to have it. You have ordered it and now you are waiting for it. Oops! The waiting is getting longer and longer and you are feeling hungry and irritated simultaneously. The people around are eating, and talking, and there is a mind-crackling smell of food everywhere. In addition, people’s body odour and the scent of deos and perfumes trigger anxiety and mood disturbances.

This is what happens to me when I go to a restaurant. It is not that I don’t like going to restaurants but going there causes anxiety.

Therefore, I have to cope with my anxiety whenever I visit such places.

Coping with anxiety is not an easy thing. It requires intent, patience, practice, and a constant thought process. Whenever I am in an overwhelming situation, I think I can calm myself and control my mood and body. I learned to control my mind by doing holistic analysis. The holistic analysis is about weighing negative and positive thoughts. How thoughts influence our mental being is just amazing. it is like so many vehicles going in all directions. However, a signal to manage these vehicles is necessary. This is what a resilient mind has to do with thoughts.

  Monochrome One day I realised what my child had long  known Between my brows a line had grown Running up into my forehead when I was  tense ... and two little fingers stretched to 'undo' it - I wonder how he had sensed He of all people, I thought would not understand. For I imagined him with an aura of question marks around his head They said he was that way blind - as he would could not read people's mind Left all confused and anxious as he would not know - what a person meant when they frowned or raised a brow. His mind, a black and white world....I thought it lacked some colours bold Felt sorry - and that is where it went wrong - I've realised since.... Range needs to be narrow, for depth to be intense. So many unique gift he has, I find it was I who had been, all along, colour blind By Anagha Jawalekar Range needs to be narrow and depth to be intense....so apt...                              ...

Experimenting with Online Classes

  The Online World That day you shared something, and made me reflect... It was time you had your friends too. Clever of you to pass me the hint!  Hence with guidance, I introduced you to the world of online learning,  and I feel it's been rewarding Coz since then, I have watched you converse, sit for long and listen,  I often see you extending your comfort zone and be available at different times than you'd prefer I can sense that you are able to open up your mind there. I hope you make bonds that last long, that recharge you time and again, connections...that enrich your life. By, Anagha Jawalekar It was Akshat's 18th birthday last month. It is unsinkable that he is an adult now, and I have grey hair and wear glasses now. Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday when we went to Mumbai and Delhi for the training and did all other therapies. He had a different childhood altogether. Nevertheless, we have come a long way. It gives me a sense of achievement when he e...

Coping Mechanism - By Akshat Rassay

Music through my ears So many harsh things floating in the air they are invisible like music but music is fair They give me stress, at times I fear it varies from mild to somewhat severe but music is there. Music is there to  rescue me from the clutches of anxiety from a bad mood to uplift me, calm me It gives me cheer It gives me hope like chatting with mum like writing things down Music helps me cope. By, Anagha Jawalekar One fine day, when I and Akshat were conversing, he mentioned that music helps him to cope. Although, I know about it very well, I thought why not discuss about it in detail. And I started discussing with him on 'coping mechanism'. The whole discussion was in the form of questions and answers but when we ended it, I found that it could make a good writeup on the topic, so I just put together all the Akshat's answers and here is his first writeup on 'coping mechanism'. We started it in November, left in between and then finished it just a few days...
