I get relaxed, when I do this

Dear Svrlax...

When my mood is bad or having some tension..I liten to Vishwa keerthanam Sung by Ravi shankar.... about Lord Padama swamy ... Really I get a great relief and i feel my self very cool.... this is happening for past few years...

The music and song is sooo spritual and makes to me Calm....

Hi Alamu,

Yes I heard one of my friend saying that when he drinks water he also drinks the tension and the reactive words which would have probable come out of his tongue, hearing this I LOL. But that’s true It diverts our attention. good option to try. You meditate at least 2 times a week, Though my whole family is much inclined towards such things I never pick up their examples or do try to meditate atleast once in a months, Good work done by you and do make sure you don’t let the frequency reduced.

When you said you sometimes expressed your tension by shouting, I remembered a guy in our travel desk, he gets wild when people come for tickets in the last moment to travel and in the last hours before travel they again pop up for rescheduling it. By then he blasts whom ever it is. Once I had to travel the same day night to abroad and with great difficulty he booked the tickets but my accommodation arranging team let me for a toss saying they couldnt arrange accommodation at the destination. where I was forced to ask him to reschedule the travel to next day. Then I could see the flip side of the coin that he just started shouting that I got embarrassed and left office deciding to travel and make some accommodation myself. but all things ended well where I could find one of my friends relative who was in the city and they accommodated me as a guest for a day. From then I never get back to him for rescheduling. But then once I had a emergency and had to travel, I hesitantly approached the same guy and explained him the situation and he booked on all routes and all carriers to fly back to my destination and at last I could get a confirmed ticket and traveled back. From then on we both became close friends and I thanked him a lot for the help he offered during my tough times.

The Intension of telling this is when people get tensed and start shouting, people like me get into the perception that they are not approachable. But from the above experience I understood that they all wanted to help but their limitations gets them worried and their inability to restrictions to help us putt them tensed and that comes as a reaction where they shout

I do all these things if i understand am tensed :) otherwise i will keep on shouting at ppl around me, not a good sign but it will take some time for me to understand the situation.

Nice to know abt other ppl ideas of venting out, meditation is a good practice but i do for just 2 days in a week and then forget abt it. I appreciate any advise to bring it in a regular pratice.

Its wonderful that I am getting appreciation from a person whom I always wanted to thank for the wonderful FB and threads initiated by her. I usually find your writing to be with lots of positive energy and good attitute, I take this oppurtunity to request you to keep embedding us with the same kind of thoughts.

Its good that you have many options to relax yourselves, that too I love to chat with people when going for a relaxed walk though many people insist not to do it with a relaxed walk. Even my Bro-in-law, when he goes for a walk he does it alone, he believes that we get all the loads of good things from it only when we enjoy it completely, But I walk and talk together works perfect for me and serves the purpose. As usual we end up arguing on the same.

Yoga is a good option but I dont know when this things are going to enter into my brain..... "Lax it time to learn good things when others say for your betterment", I say this to myself often.... hmm..

Music is really a good option to relax but when tensed my brain refuses to concentrate on it. But I could find a solution for that too, last wek when I was discussing about it to few of my friends one of them suggested to sing the song or tap or wistle along with the tunes of the music. Yes it worked for me, but when I started singing along with the song people around me got wild hearing to my bad voice and before they get crazy , I took up a self suggestion ot to transfer my tension to them by making them hear the way I sing

That was a good thread you have started to share our good and bad.
1)Usually i go for a walk late night with my mother since there is ample walking space in our apartment.During such times i can hardly find a couple,a girl or a boy coming for a walk.Hence the atmosphere will be damn calm and peaceful which will surely ease my tensions.Towards the end i can really find marginal difference in me.
2)Recently i am learning yoga.It is also helping me a bit.As i am just start learning, i cannot talk much on it.
3)i love listening to music.It is my all time,evergreen and favourite hobby as well as mood revitaliser.I am a die hard listener of music.

You have refreshed my mind as i have shared what refreshes my mind.Generally it is energising and relaxing when we share our moments in life.Thanks dear for sharing ....

I generally go for a long walk... with or without Joshua ...

if the time is not suitable to leave the house , then its one concentrated effort of cleaning .. that really helps to relax..

cheers

Dear SVRlax,

Walking is my favourite to make myself relaxed ... When I couldn't go for walking during rain then I listen to my favourite songs and do some exercise this definitely works for me ... :-d

Dear Svrlax,

When I am tensed/stressed or even angry, I take my diary and pour out all my feelings. I have noticed that in the process my emotions melt away and I could actually divert my feelings.
Also singing a favourite song or listening to music soothes me. But I have also observed that whenever I am tensed I prefer to be silent and try to keep my mind blank and relax.

love,
Anu

Dear svrlax,
Thank you so much for your words of appreciation and boosting my confidence.Really i am speechless on seeing your reply.Thanks a ton once again.First and foremost of all,i have found the magnanimous and positive attitude in you when you praise me.Appreciating and encouraging others is an art.It is a gift which you have got.Your words reflect your good thoughts.In most of the papers,inspiring books, the same statement saying"look at the good in others" revolves around them.It is a mantra to be practised and comes only by practise and experience.I have seen the mantra in you.Great ....Keep going.Definitely your maturity of mind will pay dividend in your life.
