Starting a Journaling Practice: Types and Prompts - The Human Condition

What your mental strength is what your attitude will be towards the innumerable hindrances and obstacles that are likely to come in your way in life.You can either live life one day at a time or plan elaborately for a distinct near future, but for all of that you need to develop a mental strength that would keep you rock solid no matter what surprises life throws at you.

Mental strength: How to boost it?

Psychologists define it as the measure of resilience when a certain individual braves adversity.Every individual exhibits a certain type of attitude while facing a difficult situation and that attitude entails mental strength.Negative turns in life events, crisis, financial issues, environmental factors are few of the unavoidable hindrances faced by every human being.The degree by which these negative incidents affect varies from individual to individual and the way a person responds to these effects is what constitutes mental strength.

What is mental strength?

In order to boost mental strength, one needs to adopt a psychological exercise. This involves understanding core beliefs, figuring out the strengths and weaknesses, creating extra space for positive thoughts, knowing a proper way to channel emotions, and observing daily activities.Always use mental energy judiciously in order to boost mental strength. "Wasting brain power ruminating about things you can’t control drains mental energy quickly. The more you think about negativity that you can’t solve, the less energy you’ll have leftover for creative endeavour" an article in Forbes.

How to boost mental strength?

Mental energy should be used for productive tasks. For example, try to find a long forgotten hobby or leisure activity that you had interest in during school days. When your thoughts are not productive, try to distract it towards the hobby. A hobby engages your mind no matter how stressed you are, because it is something that you love doing.

How to use mental energy?

Though self-isolation is the need of the hour due to rising cases of Omicron, it is not isolation literally. Though one is confined within four walls to stop the spread of the virus, one can always reach out to people virtually. Make the most use of the internet. Participate in group interactions, share your ideas, discuss on varied topics, and gain positive insights.

Interact, don't isolate

Do not stop reading, no matter how difficult it is for you to concentrate. Reading books on self development will not only give your insights on coping with stress, it will also make you aware of various facts that can actually productively boost your mental health. The time engaged in reading can never go in vain.

Patañjali was a sage in India who is believed to have authored a number of Sanskrit works, the most prominent of which is the Yoga Sutras, a classical yoga text dating to 200 BCE – 200 CE. Though references to yoga within Hindu scripture had already long existed, it’s believed they were too diverse and complex for the general public, so Patanjali created the Yoga Sutras as a way of compiling already existing teachings into a format easier to follow and understand.

6. Maharshi Patanjali 

There was a saintly woman Gonika, who attained the high truth, the highest knowledge, which she wanted to propagate for the well being of mankind. Hence, she was searching a right person for it. Once, offering a holy water to Sun, while praying, a small fish emerged in her palms and as the water dropped down, it turned into a human child figure. Thus as fallen from palms, he was named as Patanjali (Word – Patan – fallen down Anjali – Palms).He was an incarnation of Shesha i.e. Hooded Cobra, having uncountable skulls (brains or centres of knowledge).

A Popular story about the life of Patanjali, 

As per Indian tradition of knowledge, the origin of Yoga is ascribed to the Hiranyagarbh, a celestial being. In Mahabharat (Shanti parva) Krishna states, ‘Acharyas call me as Hiranyagarbh who is lauded in the verses of Vedas,’ thus, Krishna indentifies himself with Hiranyagarbh. Narrator called him Yogaeshvar in Bhagvad Gita. Yoga-yajnavalkya Smruti describes Hiranyagarbh as original teacher of Yoga, just as Kapil, of the Samkhya system.The science of Yoga evolved for millennia of years, even prior to Patanjali. Vedic Rishis or Seers of hymns have recorded their own experiences and musings.

Hiranyagarbha

Traditionally, Yoga is a precious science of wholesome life, leading to liberation or ‘self realization’. The concept of Yoga has confined to a particular discipline, observed by handful ascetics i.e. Sanyasins, for their own goal of emancipation or self realization.Various rigorous practices like breath regulation, fasting, meditation, devotion to god, an austere and secluded life etc. cumulatively called Tapasya were practiced by them, mostly in the Himalayas.As a result Yoga was somehow alienated from the society as whole; and the number of practitioners of Yoga in society dwindled.

Traditionally In Bharata

History has recorded the advancement of Yoga since Vedic days in different manners like verbal traditions, behavioral patterns of Yogais, scriptures, texts, carvings, caves, idols of gods and Seers. At present India and territories around, have a huge treasure of such records. Many literary records attest that Yoga existed since RgVedic time.India being a Yoga-hub has rich collection of scriptures like Vedas including Upanishadas, Puranas ,Darshanas, Itihas (history), Dharma-grantha (Scriptures), etc. describing different dimensions of Yoga voluminously.

Dimensions Of Yo

As Yoga has a long history, it is hard to define the accurate chronological order of different scriptures or texts, with respect to time, verity of practices and components, etc.Archaeological records found in Indus valley sites display some figures of ascetic postures like Padmasan etc,suggesting that Yoga was practised, well over4000 years.(this portion can be deleted if doesn’t suit)India being a Yoga-hub has rich collection of scriptures like Vedas including Upanishadas, Puranas,Darshanas,Itihas (history),Dharma-grantha(Scriptures),etc.describing different dimensions of Yoga voluminously.

The science of Yoga evolved for millennia of years,even prior to Patanjali.Vedic Rishis or Seers of hymns have recorded their own experiences and musings. History has recorded the advancement of Yoga since Vedic days in different manners like verbal traditions, behavioral patterns of Yogais, scriptures,texts,carvings,caves,idols of gods and Seers.At present India and territories around, have a huge treasure of such records. Nadbindupanishad – define Yoga as – To be indulged in listing a spiritual (anahat) sound while sitting in Siddhasan is said to be Yoga.

Advancement Since Vedic Days 

Yogatatvopnishad – Describe four types of Yoga – Mantra (recitation), Lay, Hath and Raj.Amrutnadopnishad – describe 6 limbs of Yoga – Pratyahar, Dhyan, Pranayam, Dharana,Tark( logical thinking) and Samdhi. One remarkable statement is found in this Upnishad. It states that Ashitihi shat Shatam chaiv sahstrani trayodash lakchaiko-pi nih-shvasah ahoratr prmantah – 34.  It means in 24 hrs we breath 1,13, 600 it means we breath around 78 times / minute.(Normal breath rate is around 15 to 18 /minute according to western as good as eastern health sciences) It seems author is mentioning about

What Upanishads Says 

pulse rate, as further it says Pranvayu (life energy) is of Red color.Dhyanbindopnishad– describes different mudras, pranayam with location and functions of different Nadis (life force carriers), bandhas, meditating upon Vishnu, contemplating on Aumkar (pranav).Yogatatvopanishad– It mentions that individual being has many limitations or demerits like – craving, shyness, fear, anger, laziness, hunger, etc which can be overcome only by practice of Yoga of different kinds as HathYoga, LayaYoga, MantraYoga and RajYoga.

There are number of Puranas describe Yogaic concepts directly or indirectly and following are some selected descriptions about Yoga.Agni Puran – defines Yoga – ‘To know Brahman in total is Yoga’. The technique to conquer senses by knowledge, renunciation and Pranayam.Kurma Puran–describes two types of Yoga – Abhav and BrahamGaruda Puran–mentions about three types of Yogai–Bhautik, Kshatr (warrior) and Anthyashrami.Vishnu Puran–defines Yoga–‘To unite that power of Mind(Chitta) to Brahman is called as Yoga’.Shiva Maha puran– states about MantraYoga, sparshaYoga, BhavYoga, AbhavYoga and MahaYoga

What Puranas Says 

1) Popular Darshan – Patanjali Yoga is sacred Darshan, authored by Sage Patanjali. Darshan is philosophical system.‘ It means perception of ‘truth’ through pure mind and intellect together (reasoning). Those are not mere collection of information and descriptions but are the essence of direct perception or experiences of Seers or Rishis.2) Chief aim is to describe Yoga i.e. science of Self-realization or liberation.3) A Complete condensed set of principles and techniques of Yoga.

The major characteristic features of Patanjal Yoga sutras are:

Divided in 4 chapters –Samadhi pad — 51 AphorismsSadhan pad – 55 AphorismsVibhuti pad – 55 AphorismsKaivalya pad – 34 Aphorisms4) Focus on–Chitta(causal mind)as cause and end both, for the Klesh(pain).Many ways and means to rule out Klesh and attain complete sense of contentment,are helpful in stress,depression,anxieties,etc.5) ‘Sarvabhaumtva’– i.e.Practices transcend the conditions like class, time, place, period,etc.6) Abhyas(constant practice) and Vairagy(dispassion),Ishwarpranidhan – through pursuing Aum, path of 8 limbs,Pratipakshbhavana, etc are important practices towards Liberation.

....

Patanajali Yoga sutra has both oral as well as textual tradition of Yoga. It is acknowledged by traditional Vedic schools as the authoritative source on Yoga. It is bouquet with everlasting fragrance, contrast to its modern western transplanted forms, containing classical Indian ideas about: Definition of Yoga, Features of Chitta (causal mind) and its modifications, the techniques and practices of restraining Vritties and meditation, culminating into super consciousness.

Patanjali Yoga Sutras

here and hereafter (consequent rebirth) and the metaphysical foundation and description leading to mystical powers. Different spiritual powers as a result of Yogaic practices and how to renounce them while leading Liberation.Considering available space here, it is difficult even to enumerate all the 195 sutras: aphorisms, so let us have glance at some important aphorisms (especially those are applied part) and subjects dealt in sets of aphorisms in different chapters.

Mechanisms of ‘karma‘ or action in the world: 

Vashishth muni defined Yoga in Yoga-vashistha as – technique of conquering world.Gita defines it as: equanimity is Yoga. Many such definitions are seen in philosophical works. Patanjali’s definition strikes directly to the core of the subject. In next sutra, he states that when one can inhibit such modifications, he or she would attain Self or fundamental character (spirit).Then the ‘Drashta‘ i.e. seer realizes or establishes in his own vital or fundamental character (spirit) or Brahman.Yogavasistha a discussion about liberation between Rev.

Yoga Vashishth 

When an actor is playing some dramatic role and has a makeover, it is difficult to recognize him or her, but when the makeover and drapery is put off, it is very easy to notice the person. In the same way, when a seer is not associated with any Vritti, he or she can realize his or her Self or fundamental character.An actor can put off the makeover within couple of minutes, but it is not easy to dissociate or restraint Vrittis. It takes a long time, even many lives to realize ‘Self’. Patanjali has prescribed two chief instruments of this restraint

Realization Of Self Character 

are those two chief means of restraint (self-restraint).Abhyas means a persistent repeated practice (of anything). Vairagy is disinterestedness and dispassion.Patanjali further describes these two faculties as: Endeavor to settle in that (self or fundamental character) state, is Abhyas or in state of Chitta vritti nirodhPatanjali has mentioned two levels or types of Vairagy –Vahsikar Vairagy – A perfect mastery over craving towards any object (or subject) either tasted (experienced) or not.

‘Abhyas’ and ‘Vairagy’ 

Par Vairagy – It is highest level of non-desire, even for the virtues (possible only), when one attains the ultimate ‘Purush’ i.e. supreme being.By explaining different levels of Samadhi, obstacles to the same and some very effective techniques to overcome them, especially ‘Ishwar-pranidhan Patanjali has defined the destination of whole mission or journey.

Par Vairagy 

– deals with different techniques and disciplines to be persuaded as to achieve the goal: Samadhi.In this chapter, he states the Kleshas(psychological dispositions)are the cause of pain experienced by an individual and which ultimately leads to an endeavour for overcoming the same.He assures that, Ashtang Yoga is a perfect set of instruments to eradicate the Avidhya(a chief Klesha– idea contradicting to truth).The perfect awareness of Purush the fundamental reality is attained, when spiritual illumination arises after eradicating all impurities, by practicing eight limbs of Yoga.

Ch -2 Sadhan pada 

Ashtang Yoga –Yam, Niyam, Asan, pranayam, pratyahar,Dharana, Dyan and Samadhi are eight limbs of Yoga.Ashtang Yoga is complete set of 8 instruments, which are called as Angas (limbs). Though Patanjali has put them in a sequence, it doesn’t mean that it is to be practiced one after the other, each limb has its own separate as good as collective significance. The whole set is divided in two parts, Bahirang and Antarang. It is general convention that, first five Limbs i.e. Yam, Niyam, Asana, Pranayam and Pratyahar form a Bahirang and last three limbs i.e.Dharana, Dhyan and Samadhi form Antarang.

Ashtang Yoga 

But some scholars, Acharyas consider Pratyahar as a part of Antarang. Bahirang means exterior set of limb and Antarang is an interior set, having their own features as –Limb 1 – five yamasComponents of Yama:Ahinsa, Saty, Astey, Brahmacharya and Aparigraha are five YamasFive disciplines to be observed to maintain good and harmonious relations to all other constituents of universe. Ahinsa= Non violence, Saty= observance of truth, Astey= non stealing, Brahma-chary = celibacy and A-parigraha= abandoning collections or gifts.

The 5 Disiples For Good Relati

Limb 2 – five niyamsShauch = Purity, 2. Santosh= Satisfaction, 3.Tapas=Penance, 4. Swadhyay= Self study and 5. Ishwar-pranidhan= Contemplation on god are five Niyams. Limb 3 – AsanAsan (posture) is to remain steadfast and at comfort.Limb 4 – PranayamAfter it, (attaining posture), there is possibility of cessation of inhalation and exhalation of breath. Limb 5 – PratyaharPratyahar is to withdraw sense organs from their respective objects of pleasure.

5 Niyams , Asan , Pranayam ,  Pratyahar 

– deals elaborately with Sanyam or Antaranag Yoga and different spiritual achievements as result of it.Limb 6 – DharanaDharana is confinement of causal mind in particular area (object)Limb 7 – DhyanMeditation is uninterrupted flow (of mind) towards one and single object.Limb 8 – SamadhiWhen there remains only a consciousness of object of meditation (not of anything else) is Samadhi.These three together is Sanyam.

Ch -3 Vibhuti pada

– deals with the law of Karm or action, effects of passions here and hereafter, Jivanmukti and Videhamukti the two states of liberation.

Ch -4 kaivalya pada 

The perfect awareness of Purush the fundamental reality is attained, when spiritual illumination arises after eradicating all impurities, by (persistent) practicing eight limbs of Yoga.Vasishth Muni and Bahgwan Shriram define Yoga as –" Yoga is that skill which makes one i.e. Jiv (easy) to conquer (mundane) world."

Be mindful of your ideas. Examine them. Recognize how your fear presents itself in you. Do you sway? Feeling tense? Sweat? Do you feel ill? Is it continual ruminating or thinking?

Be Watchful

You may begin to analyze the patterns and triggers after you are aware of how the sensation shows itself in you. What causes the fear to arise? Is it continuous or sporadic? Are there any particular physical or emotional triggers? Understanding the triggers can assist us in determining where the fear is coming from and what we need to address.

Recognize

Perception is everything in life; you may see things in any way, shape, or form. Rather than being terrified of something, turn it into a challenge.

Change Your Mindset

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

Scholars, specialists, and medical practitioners have engaged in many debates over the last 10 years about social media use among children and young adults. Although they often use research or their own experiences with patients to ground their views, their ideas vary about whether social media has had positive or negative effects on young people. In this article, you’ll find information on both the benefits and perils of social media as it relates to mental health and on options, some professionals have proposed for coexisting with what has become a mainstay in contemporary life.

Think of it like packing your lunches for the week all at once instead of packing your lunch each morning. You can use this same technique for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

What is Meal Prepping?

If having control over what you eat, or maximizing your time or budget is more valuable to you than eating something different every single day, meal prepping is your ticket.

Who is Meal Prepping For?

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">cooked grains & pasta</li><li class="ql-align-justify">cooked beans</li><li class="ql-align-justify">cooked meat</li><li class="ql-align-justify">roasted vegetables</li><li class="ql-align-justify">hearty fresh vegetables (think celery, carrots, peas, bell peppers, kale, cabbage, radishes, etc.)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">whole fruit (apples, oranges, stone fruit)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">nuts & seeds</li><li class="ql-align-justify">cheese</li><li class="ql-align-justify">sauces and dips (like salad dressings, hummus, salsa, sour cream, etc.)</li></ul>An easy way to think about meal prepping is to make a formula out of it. When deciding which foods to meal prep I try to pick out one of the following formulas:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Basic: Protein + Grain + Vegetable</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Low Carb: Protein + Vegetable + Vegetable</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Vegetarian: Legume + Grain + Vegetable</li></ul>

What Can I Meal Prep?

Start SMALLStart by packing up your leftovers from dinner one night and taking them for lunch the next day. Once you’re comfortable with that and you get to know what types of food you like as leftovers, you can pick one recipe to prep for the week ahead.I suggest starting with a <a href="https://www.budgetbytes.com/15-single-recipe-meal-prep-ideas/">single recipe meal prep </a>instead of a meal that requires two or three recipes together. <a href="https://www.budgetbytes.com/15-single-recipe-meal-prep-ideas/">Single recipe meal preps </a>provide your protein, grain, and vegetables all in one recipe, so there is no need to make a side dish.

How To Start Meal Prepping

Plain glass containers in different shapes/sizes (eg. <a href="http://a.co/9s3X4JM">3-cup rectangle </a>and <a href="http://a.co/7WWTNNI">4-cup bowl</a>) work for just about everything.Invest in a thermos (or 2)!!! You can take your hot tea, or ice water, or energizing soups with you..and no need to reheat your food or drink.Divided compartment containers, are more limited because not all food can fit in the compartments. They are great for having your food organized, but they are best for non wet foods.<a href="http://a.co/6IkqgvQ">Metal bento box</a>es are also great, as long as you’re packing a cold meal and don’t need to heat it in a microwave. Plastic bento boxes are also an option.

The Kleptomaniac has failure to resist impulses to steal items though the objects are not particularly needed by the Self.He or She cannot resist temptation and quite literally is shown as the ability to lack resistance to engage in taboo behaviours.

The Rationale Of A Kleptomaniac

The individual experiences a rise in tension before the theft. This tension is characterised by restlessness, anxiety, excitement and a general diffuse preparedness to act. It must fulfill a need be it a physical, emotional or intellectual type. It is not “nervous tension” per se.The perpetrator feels pleasure, gratification or relief when theiving.
