Hello Reader,
Nothing is more disturbing and noisier than the confused
thoughts in our head. It’s a mental traffic jam where on every side of the
road, the cars and vehicles are stuck, honking horns. The flow stops and
everything becomes stagnant. Then, nothing starts to make sense and the thoughts
become negative. This leads to stress, sleeplessness and a lot of hair pulling.
You can trust me because I have been through it and the worst place anybody can
ever get stuck is in their own mind. I have been stuck at more dangerous places
like forests and have driven through unsafe roads at night but there is always a
hope there and milestones telling that I am on the right path. But, this case makes
you lose your hope and very negative thoughts starts to sprout.
And why did it happen to me? May be, post college life
generally gives you a little more stress. Life becomes more chaotic and it is
natural to happen. The reasons are the same old ones: chronic,
home-to-work-work-to-home routine, dearth of a social circle, missing the
happening college days, missing friends and family, paying bills and you know
the rest. So, much of it gets piled up and the repetitive cycle just never
ends. And, then fear embarks killing every little hope and refuses to accept
the fact that the good old days are not coming back.
It also hurdled my writing a lot. It took days to work out
the thoughts and to find clarity in chaos. Then, one day, some of my friends
and I decided to take a break and go on a road trip. So, we backed our bags and
went away to the hill stations of Uttarakhand. We stayed there at places which
were unplanned and drove to random places and beautiful locations and it wall
all a very wonderful experience. I remember when I woke up one morning and the
world around me was such a panoramic beauty, eyes opened to see the Himalayan Mountains
and the mighty river Ganges flowing along and the sun rays falling on it were
the rays of new hope. It was absolutely refreshing and it felt like all the
negativity has vanished. It is just about taking little step out of our usual
box. I had all the answers that morning and mind could feel the openness in the
healing breeze.
And that day I decided to take some trips frequently and make
travel a must-do every possible time. Because, staying at one place for too
long is really bad for the growth of our brains. And to keep the negativity
away and for welcoming positive thoughts, it is very important to travel.
Travelling fills you up with great optimism and gifts you many memories to live
with.
Before signing off, here is a picture from that trip. Hope. Be positive. Live Happy.
