Garden the Monday Blues

For long, Monday mornings have remained an uphill task for many corporate citizen. According to one Gallup study, human species contract a lot of ailments and also mortality on Monday more than any other species.
A simple solution comes and converges from multiple wisdom tradition:
  • "When the flower arranger arranges the flowers, he also arranges his mind and the mind of the person who looks at the flowers"- Zen Saying. Hence how we arrange "Monday" in our minds & behavior, influences our day and the onlookers' day too. 
  • Eckhart Tolle, a leading spiritual teacher, calls in for either accepting or engaging or enjoying anything we do. If we aren't in any of these zones, we are harming the fabric of mind-body-soul fitness.

"Body is a pharmacy in itself and mind a counseling clinic.

Self-chat in self-audible voice how you have been feeling about Monday.

Monday is the inertia of the week. Breaking it will indeed require more effort.

Breathe and then Loud Exhale five times. Repeat after every one/two hour.
In the afternoon, try and have a 5-10 minutes of internal conversation about how despite all the resistance, you have come here. This is important as it helps you record your "living through" in a conscious manner.
Doing this for 6-7 weeks, will change your perspective of the Monday "

Snippets:
  • Non-acceptance drains more energy from body
  • Non-acceptance clouds thinking
  • Non-acceptance is indication of weak internal dialogue sessions
  • Eckhart's acceptance workout is the beginning before finding a fixture of engagement and enjoyment after some weeks.
  • By arranging Monday flower in the mind as an acceptable flower, it will show of in your behavior to the minds looking at you. And you shall do sincere and great service to them by indirectly helping them calm their blues too.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
