The Art of Joyful Living
B.K.Shivani spoke about the importance of managing
ones own mind to live a stress-free life and to successfully manage
organizations. Her measage was simple - if mind is in our control
life can be joyful. External stimulus is the same for all people.
These are things which are not in our control. But the response to
the stimulus is within our control. We can choose not to get
perturbed under a given situation. We have to learn to control the
response to learn the 'Art of joyful living'. Control over mind
gives stability when there is turbulence in external world. A true
leader is one who does not indulge in blame game in the face of
failure but instead provides stability and is able to develop
measured response to a given situation.
B.K.Shivani gave useful suggestions as to how one
can learn the art of joyful living.
*
Start the day with positive thoughts as they tend to
influence the rest of the day. She suggested that the best way to do
that would be not to read news paper in the early morning and stuff
ones mind with negative news items. Instead, stat the day with 10
minutes of meditation and prioritise thoughts and delete the ones
that are not necessary.
*
Take a pause of one minute every two hours in the
day and prioritize one's thoughts. Keep only what is relevant at
that moment and delete the rest of them.
*
Before going to bed clean up ones thoughts and
delete negative thoughts from mind. Sleep will not be sound if one
goes to bed with mind occupied with lot of ideas.
*
Early to bed and early to rise. Creative ideas and
innovation can happen in the early hours of the morning when mind is
fresh after a sound sleep.
