Relax and Start Fresh!

I just couldn't relax on Sunday. So many thoughts had been running across my mind the whole week. Weekdays were still better, as I had work to focus on and was too tired while coming back that this somehow did not bother much. Saturday was better again, thanks to the world cup match between India & South Africa. It finally boiled down to Sunday, as I was at home and had nothing much to do.

There are times when your past, present and future make sure they haunt you at the same time. The worst part, is that you cant think what to do about it. That's the exact reason why I don't like to do nothing on weekends, a case of empty mind being a devil's workshop emerges. I do not want to divulge any details but things about my career, personal life, financials and such other had been nagging me lately. It became intolerable to such an extent that I was about to do something stupid. Just then a thought flashed by - to work on a presentation.

During my MBA years, I never took keen interest in making presentations. Even so, I had learnt the approach of making presentations. This week I have a session to conduct on Digital Marketing. This particular presentation which I ended up with is what I had in mind for the same. However, this time I avoided to be spontaneous. It took me about an hour or so and it turned out to be good. The better part was the fact that I felt relaxed and nice after exhausting my mind for it.

Just that reminded me of my S.S.C year. One fine day, I was not able to sleep till late night. I had no other thing to do than keep rolling in my bed. I had been doing that for some days then but this time I couldn't. I could see some books kept on my study table. I got up and fetched those. I spent an hour or more studying that night. I felt really nice back then. Sunday's feeling was just the same, sort of a déjà vu in some sense.

Perhaps, I should try to calm down my mind when it is not. One of the best ways is reading. It has worked on many occasions. Others like listening music and watching movies also prove good. Some uncommon ways are like what I did on Sunday. I can surely try to be more conscious about these. These haven't solved my problems or addressed any concerns, how can they? These are like pit stops in F1 racing events. They help me relax and start fresh!
