Declutter - Insomnia

Sleep is a delicious escape. Sleep is an act of faith: we hope that we will wake again. The vast majority of people see insomnia as a problem. 
What exactly is insomnia?

Insomnia is a place of suffering and creation. Insomnia usually begin with a lament. Of we insist viewing insomnia as merely as a matter of negatives, a condition defined by nothing, a blank. The we risk missing what it can potentially reveal.

I love to sleep, I adore naps; the exhale that the day is over. I always like to write at night. I am a metaphorical insomniac; Asleep, but not at rest. Awake, my eyes closed. We have to learn to use this as advantage. Instead of spending that time on social networks, on watching TV, or even reading books. Personally, I prefer to spend those moments reflecting (Introspection).

I estimate last two articles written were the ripen fruits of those nocturnal reflections. “A crisis of good or of evil, a dark night of the soul that may either bless or curse, that can lead in some cases to epiphany and in others to confrontation with chaos and death itself.” – Lisa Russ Spaar.

But how I can manage my sleep time?

There are two reasons why I have this 'free time' in bed. I usually sleep past midnight but I go early to bed. The other reason is that I used to wake up at the middle of my sleep and I can’t go back to sleep anymore. I even have days where I can sleep only 3 or 4 hours. I write everything that crossed my mind the other night in the morning or wherein I can have my leisure in my busy-dizzy day time. I don’t stop writing until the article is ready for editing. I feel empowered to find a sleep solution has made a huge difference in not just my sleep but my life and I’ve stopped trying to be a perfect sleeper.

Remember whatever you go through, You’re not alone. You’re loved and there is not a single ounce of shame you should feel for seeking a helping hand or perhaps a mind.

Am I a Hindu?

  I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to document my own transition away from faith. What follows is what happened for me. Basically, my family is flexible when it comes to the religious part. My father and I used to be way too friendly. My grandfather was very devoted to Lord Shiva. Luckily for me, my father always stand back to hold. He doesn’t feel any sort of prompt or proxy is needed to be deeply religious. He always prays to one God, Lord Krishna (Guruvayoorappan).                   Children are more vulnerable and emulate those they respect. I still do. My father was a Brahmin, so I became one as well. Realising what I mean by that; I happy being a Brahmin but I didn’t decide to become a Brahmin; it just happened. As a child, if someone you love and respect tells you something is true or illustrates that they believe it be true – it become absolute. There will be no choice in these matters for a human until much later ...

Confessions

Nights are so full of thoughts. It is like you have empty space inside your head at the day time and suddenly a stork drop in your brain from nowhere. But obviously it's not suppose to think of something meaningful because it always like a see-saw. Either it goes to the past or fly over to future. Anyway that illusion of thoughts never going to bother your actions another day. As I already said, the space will be empty at the daytime.

Declutter - Atychiphobia

Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you undermined your own efforts in order to avoid a more serious failure? This is for you. Many of us have probably encountered this at least once in our lives. The fear of failure can cause us to do nothing and thus resist moving forward; when we allow the fear to consume us, we will halt our progress in life .  First and foremost, we must understand the concept of failure, specifically what "failure" means. We all define failure differently, and we all have our own benchmarks, values, and beliefs. In reality, failure is the best learning experience for anyone who is willing to learn; it is as simple as that. To be honest, I fail far more often than most people. The majority of my plans, dreams, and thoughts die long before anyone else is aware of it. They die frequently. Despite all of the unfinished projects and failed businesses, my goal is to live life fully on my own terms; after all, all we need is t...
