Sometimes, the pause in time, between intention and action, is the best time for Yoga practice. This gives you time to rationally focus on your intention. Of course, if this is an emergency, there will be no gap in time, and your action will most likely be reaction. Therefore, our reactions are not always rational, or positive, but with regular Yoga practice, that will change.
Earlier, I mentioned that you should “eat, sleep, and drink” positive energy. However, with the practice of meditation, and/ or Yoga, you can always develop a state of tranquility (Santosha). There are many reasons for this, but one of the first among them is non-attachment to the outcome of your plans.
This does not mean you should give up, but the best laid plans are subject to change, at any moment. We cannot control nature, or the universe, so we have to “roll with the punches.” Whether the outcome is good or bad, we have to adapt to this life the best we can, and we should be creative along the road of life.
Life is a journey, but we are not entirely in control of it. When we learn to accept what we cannot control – that is also Santosha. This state of acceptance is also a form of surrender to a “higher authority; but to some people, this causes a feeling of helplessness. You should always maintain the frame of mind that -success is “just around the corner.” Coincidentally, many students have this same positive feeling of hope and aspiration about their lives after a Yoga session.
If you are not in total control, how can success be so close? Life has “ups and downs,” but innovators become achievers – when they recognize opportunities within their grasp. This is why you train your mind to react instantly to situations with sound solutions. There will be situations where you have control over the outcome, and this is the time when a trained mind has an advantage.
In order to second guess yourself about a decision, you need to have time. While you have that time for “soul searching,” practice Yoga, meditate, pray, and come up with the best rational decision possible. When you have applied logical thought to the outcome, you cannot look back at decisions with regret.
Lastly, instant decisions depend upon how we have previously trained our mind. Yoga and meditation help you train your mind at all times. When you train your mind for empowerment, you will be able to make the most rational decision in an emergency. You will also be able to help those you love most.
