The Real Burden

So I am glued to my internet to find out the latest updates about the pandemic and oh my god! the experts say we are heading towards a third wave, then there is fear of new strain and then children are also getting affected. There is another set of information on the grim financial scenario, holy cow! the market is crashing, GDP’s have nosedived, we can expect more job cut. Now all this stuff is good enough for me to dwell upon and there I allow it to stay inside my mind, I don’t filter it, and it's part of my communication with myself and the whole world. The fear within is now spreading outside and rest be assured there are many takers for that negative news. You just need to choose what kind of fear your wish to grow, is it about new strains, crashing economy, or any other component which creates fear. It becomes worse when we are not Virologist, Doctor, or Economist and start sharing our opinion around

“FEAR CAN HOLD YOU PRISONER”

We actually need to filter the news or information that we read. Our mind works on a simple rule of garbage-in and garbage-out. If most of your knowledge updates are on negative news then so is your talk to self and the world. We have never studied pandemics and overnight how can we become some kind of expert on pandemic management. No doubts updates are important pieces of information but how many times do we talk about HOPE. All that crap that we keep thinking and talking about we start becoming like that only. We need to filter and we also need to give ourselves a similar amount of positive updates and talk about instances of how mankind is fighting back. After all your thoughts, your mind, your talk….that is what you are.

“HOPE CAN SET YOU FREE”

Those who missed this Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman starrer “The Shawshank Redemption”, just go for it, it’s a classic which I missed for long.
