Connect with yourself...
Hey beautiful people!
Ten days since our last post.
Today I want to talk again! About the importance of connecting with yourself.
If you've been following my previous posts, it's easy to notice how much I give importance to listening to myself, spending time with myself, and understanding my mind, heart and soul.
Here are 2 previous articles I've written that revolve around quite the same things:
What a better time to reconnect...
On life and death. And living up to your potential
Why not give it a read, if you still haven't :)
Anyway, what am I writing about again? Why am I writing?
Oh yes! I just came back from a run!
My first run (or sport) in a very long time... I'm not a gym or running person.
I've always been into fun sports, skiing and surfing or team sports.
But I forced myself and I did it! After months of failed self-motivation, I did it!
And I loved it. Not because I now love running, but because it allowed me to connect with myself.
It allowed me to be in the zone. It allowed me to be fully focused. To be with my own thoughts!
Don't be afraid of your own thoughts, don't be afraid of having a discussion with your own self.
This is the moment where you start seeing things differently, this is the moment when you start knowing what to do.
So basically my main message here is: find something that will give you that direct line to your soul. Whatever it is, just find something that will allow you to think; and when I say think I mean thinking without any interruption from the outside world. It's finding that moment where you just hear your mind talking; you don't hear anything else, you don't see anything else.
You could be running like I just did and being so focused that you don't even notice anyone around.
Lots of people get to that stage in different ways. Some people draw and paint, others write (that's something I also discovered recently), some others do sports, while the rest could be doing yoga or meditation. It could also be as easy as listening to music!
Why do I really urge everyone to give that a try?
Cause this, I believe, is what's going to change your perception about things.
This is what's going to unleash your inner power. This is what's going to get you to that stage where you find yourself saying affirmatively: "I know what I need to do".
This is when you start seeing things from a different angle.
When you start seeing a problem as a problem and start finding the solution to every problem.
This is the moment when you get out of your repetitive cycles, repetitive failures, repeating the same mistakes again and again.
This is when you start getting out of the victim mindset and start getting into the bulldog mindset.
Someone: wow Jad, all this with just a run? haha
It's much more than a run. It's not even about the run.
If that's you, and that's what you've been thinking out loud.
Then, please. Just do me one favour, and if it doesn't work then you can stop listening to me forever.
Put your earphones on (preferably max volume on) and listen to this song:

Put your earphones on (preferably max volume on) and listen to this song:
Just tell me what you felt...
But also tell me, did you manage to listen to it completely without any interruption?
Mate! It's just a 5 mins song!
Please don't tell me you don't have time, and please don't postpone it like you postpone everything else you do...
Ok fair enough. If you don't like the song and if you don't connect to it emotionally, then just find a song that means something to you and listen to it without any single interruption! Without listening to the background tv, without keeping an eye on your WhatsApp/Facebook/email...

And as always, until the next time! ✌
Peace 🙏
Note: shout out to my beautiful partner who just got me the galaxy earbuds to motivate me (and maybe stop me from complaining about not doing any sport 🤣)
Note 2: I'm not even proofreading. If you find any mistakes you can leave them in the comments box 😝
Note 3: @zuzu get ready for us to run together ;D
Every person in this world must love life, not try to understand it! " This is what the writer tried today to criticize (from my point of view), but rather presented an argument in the human understanding of himself and dealing with things with serenity myself.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Ahmad, understanding ourselves and dealing with things with serenity. Loving life rather than trying to understand it! That's a very good point as well.
DeleteFor that I would add this quote: "don't hate anything; it could just end up being for your own good".
Totally agree with this! Connecting with yourself is something I feel a lot of people feel "too busy" to do, with work and everything going on. But it is a very important part of personal development. Understanding yourself is the first step to becoming a better you. Well written Jad 👍🏾
