Covid Days

I am writing this blog during the Corona lock-down days where everyone started asking what am I supposed to do now.

When suddenly everything in life halts or pauses, the mind goes bonkers.

Many are comfortable for the first few days, but the mind becomes restless after few days of not working.

I think many of us have become workaholics. We do not know anything in life other than our work. Mind is filled with work, work and work only.

And when something disastrous happening around, the FEAR creeps in and awakens our Amygdala in our brain.

This is the most important crucial times in the history of our life that we should not activate our Amygdala(a small tiny portion of our brain which is the emotional centre). If it gets activated, it hijacks your whole thinking brain.

Mind will be filled with loads of questions and in this free time, our mind throws all questions to us. Some questions may scare us...so be careful.

Make your questions small, and you reduce the chances of waking the amygdala and arousing debilitating fear. When fear is quiet, the brain can take in the questions and it can pop out answers on its own timetable.

Your amygdala is essentially your panic button.

Keep the questions small and we tiptoe past our fear by not waking up our amygdalas!

Small questions are good. And, so are small actions!

What’s the “Big” thing you’d like to change that just hasn’t been happening? Creating a meditation practice? Exercising? Eating better? (All of the above?)
