Do you know those days on which it seems like too many things are happening at the same time and you end up feeling overwhelmed - not in the mood to do anything at all. You feel drained of energy and life seems so difficult. Well perhaps, the reason behind this is that you have run out of your resources, which is why you started feeling so drained and empty. You are your biggest resource. You need to always have enough in store in order to avoid running out of your resources, and for that you always need to take care of YOU. In this article I will share with you the three main resources which you have and how you can take care of them every single day.
Your resources are: your body, mind and soul. You need to take care of each one in order to live your best life. So here is how you can do that:
1# Physical Resources
Your body is a very important resource, as they say, "Health is wealth." If your health is good, every aspect of your life is good, because you will be able to successfully deal with every difficult situation or challenge of life. So try to keep your body healthy all the time. You can do this by eating healthy most of the time. Avoid overeating and foods that do no good to your body. Moderation is the key. So you can of course enjoy some of those "guilty pleasures" but not on a daily basis. Enjoyment is important for a happy life so we shouldn't forget to enjoy life, right? Every now and then it is OK to indulge as long as you make sure that you eat healthy mostly for the rest of the time. Also, do some exercise regularly. Even if you have a busy schedule, try to fit in at least a small workout into your daily schedule. Your heart needs to pump strongly on a regular basis in order to stay strong and healthy. Don't forget to sleep well too. Try to sleep on time and get enough rest your body needs. Try to stay away from screens shortly before going to sleep because your mind will take longer to relax after being in front of the screen. You will find a better and a deeper sleep if you stay away from screens for about an hour before sleeping. Last but not least, smile more often to keep your blood-pressure levels intact and to maintain a good mood.
2# Mental Resources
Your mind is one of the most important organs of the body, so you need to take good care of it. Always think positive and keep your mind filled with positive thoughts and hopes. Don't allow any negative or angry thought settle in your mind. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, evaluate and question it. Work it out and then let it go. Also, meditate regularly by reflecting on your life - where you are at the present moment and where you want to go. Keep your mind focused by removing distractions. Create peace within yourself and relax your mind regularly. Try to keep calm and relaxed as often as possible. Stop worrying or thinking too much about the future. Be more present and live in the present moment. Enjoy every moment and try to be tension-free. Let go of constant control and allow things to happen as they go. Keep yourself flexible and open for change. Try to make the best out of every moment and focus on the present. Last but not least, practice gratitude every single day. Daily remind yourself of the blessings that you have in your life. Even if you feel like you are not blessed, let me tell you that there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. The fact that you are reading this article has tons of blessings in and of itself. It means that you have eyes that can see. That you were blessed as a child to learn how to read and that you now have a computer and an internet connection which allows you to research and connect with the world. Not to forget the many opportunities that you have through the internet.
3# Spiritual Resources
It is important that you keep your soul well-nourished all the time. Never deprive it of its needs. Your soul needs to always have a strong connection with a higher source. Pray regularly, repent, forgive and let go of everything that burdens your soul. If you are a Muslim, pray your daily 5 prayers on time with sincerity and conviction. Make deeply connected prayers and supplications to Allah regularly. Cleanse your soul by repentance and forgiveness. Repent regularly from your sins, as they may develop an unnecessary burden to your soul. Forgive as soon as you find any negative feelings towards anyone. Recite the Qur'an regularly, or at least listen to its beautiful recitation as there is healing for your soul in the recitation of the Qur'an. Saying different adhkar is also a great way to nourish your soul.
To conclude, you need to make it a practice from now onwards to always have enough resources in store for yourself. During hard times especially, you should never rely solely on that which you have at present, but you must be proactive by filling your resources in advance, so as to never fall short of them and feel drained again. For this to be done, you need to work on staying disciplined. Remember that at the end, you have to face pain anyway - either it is the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. It is your choice every day which one you want to face.
