Sleep Well for Better Health

Whenever we considered any wrong habit of ours And had been justifying it for years and maybe even lifetimes, but now we are no longer justifying it We were calling that habit "Right", we were saying, "Anger is Natural", "Tension is natural in these times", "Getting hurt is obvious", "I had to feel bad, it was natural." All these were justifications. So isn't it like I am justifying these things superficially and not actually meaning it from within? That is something we need to ask ourselves Am I accepting that this is damaging for me? I'm just outwardly justifying that I created anger Accepting that you got angry is not the justification justification is accepting that it is damaging for me. This This is damaging. What if my mind says, "I don't worry if it is damaging or not, but I cannot change this habit" It is damaging me Am I accepting this? That it is damaging me? Every second it (anger) is damaging me. Do I understand the magnitude of the damage that I am creating to myself? The problem is, until the damage reaches its peak for instance, until I get not hospitalized Until they say my high blood pressure is due to anger Okay. Your mind gets worried? Yes. A good sleep required for the body Correct That quality of sleep goes missing Today, a vast majority of people are not able to sleep well. They do sleep It is not like all of them are taking sleeping pills or alcohol in order to sleep, There are many people who use such substances to get sleep but majority fall asleep without such substances that is all right, but who sleeps? This I have to ask myself and there is a simple test When we wake up in the morning, be it using an alarm or if we wake up naturally how fresh do we feel? Do we wish to sleep for 10 more minutes? Do we feel like snoozing the alarm and get back to sleep? Because for however long we sleep 5 hours, 6 hours or maybe more than that Two things need rest 1. The Mind 2. The Body They both need to recharge for the next morning. our body will fully rest and recharge and so will our mind. When we go to sleep We create a lot of emotions, reactions, turbulence in the whole day We even create negative energies in the environment, they even get back to us and the mind is thinking of many things and then at night we watch news or a serial on television, or maybe we read a novel or maybe a thriller which means even the last information that we are putting in, is turbulent Negative. Even News is not very good, Even what is shown in television shows is not always right About jealousy,

A lot of them have elements of revenge, hatred and anger After watching them or reading such novels apart from them, the mind has already seen a lot of such scenes during the day It has gone through a lot You know, lot of scenes I'm creating here, lot of scenes around me and then to stamp it all lot of scenes in the name of entertainment in the night. Now this is my relaxation time, so what did I do in my relaxation time? All these scenes. As the last information for the day, we took in these scenes and slept. It means, the car was in the 5th gear That is the Mind - in fast speed and we left it in 5th gear itself and slept. We didn't turn off the engine. We didn't slow down. Now, after 6 hours when we wake up The body is relaxed now it got rejuvenated during the sleep But my Mind, the whole night remained in those thoughts because we did not slow it down. And slowing down does not mean stopping thinking It means all the issues that were created during the day Did we resolve them? Did we sort them out? Did we answer the mind or sleep with the questions? Slept off with hatred. Slept off with anger. So mind keeps going on during night as well. And then when we wake up in the morning, we won't feel fresh. So we get irritated when we wake up Today, the morning scene of any house has completely changed. A fight begins even over a cup of tea. Earlier, people used to play devotional songs, light incandescent sticks. House would be peaceful. Today, we wake up late and then the mood is not good So we need a cup of tea to get back the mood. Now, we continue to use the mind which is already in a tired state. For another 15-16 hours and then again we don't sleep properly at night and then again we use our mind the next day This has been going on for Years. Today, you will find many people who can fall asleep even as they are sitting We see that in so many public programs When it is morning, people have just woken after sleeping for 7 hours and they sleep right in front of us at the program. Why? Because they are sleep-deprived. They feel they sleep well at night Their body slept. People sleep anywhere, even during their meetings at office Even while they are sitting because they are sleep-deprived, their mind is not sleeping at night. If the mind does not sleep at night and if it repeats for day, months or even years How will our behavior be, without getting proper sleep? I work at night itself" "I have business of gold and other things" "The prices in our business can fluctuate anytime" Very good, this is right. These are bound to happen, but what do we need to do? We need to see that even if the prices fluctuate, the state of our mind should not fluctuate. Even if the Gold prices fluctuate, our mind should not because we have to do our business. But our mind is attached to our business right? Is it? Why not? Is your mind attached to your business? Yes. It means that again we are saying that- Business affects our mind. And the other is - Our mind affects the business.

The situation affects the state of our mind? or the State of our mind affects the situation? That is the game we play every day. What you just said, this was again justification. It was justification Look at the relationship of a mother and her child everyone knows that during childhood the kid tends to fall ill often then why does the mother feel so sad about it? If I compare this example with the business one then the business can also be considered as my kid right? You are talking about mothers of this era. If you would have seen mothers 20 years ago then she would have said it does not matter, he is just a kid these illnesses happen, he will recover soon. Because the mother was strong, and it means her mind was strong. What has happened to the minds of everyone? The more we let the situation affect our mind, and this did not happen in one day. this didn't happen in one situation this has been going on since years and in different situations. If I let someone affect me I am weak and you are powerful, I am weak and you are powerful. So that person will start affecting me and will keep doing that What will happen after 20 years? I will no longer have any power left in me and that person will overpower me. Situations have completely overpowered us today. Because we constantly created thoughts like, "My business will surely affect my mind." And that means justification.

That means it is okay for me to get worried. I know but what you are saying sounds very easy Suppose a movie I work in fails tomorrow, then I'll obviously feel bad is it not? It is not obvious now in that same situation If I work on myself that there are two options, First option - "I will obviously feel bad." What will be the result? I will feel sad. so even others at home feel sad for us. Energy gets depleted. Solution? Nothing, just the energy got depleted. Now, the next thing you need to do - say a business or your next movie the motivation that you need for that the self-confidence that is required the enthusiasm which is needed it will get depleted in that situation. And then you will need to work harder, in order to get back that motivation or enthusiasm. The lack of confidence that is created that "I was doing it, but now I'm not sure" "I failed even though I worked so hard last time". Yes. This will start happening. So there was one failure we are not saying failure is good. We failed. But how much do we let that failure affect us and how much will we rise over the failure and move forward. We have these two options If I allow that one failure to affect me That is, the state of my mind due to that failure. Now even in that example, the movie failed It affects everyone differently.

Someone will be affected more and someone else, less The more it overpowers someone, the longer it takes for him to come out of it. Even that is not a problem if you work hard and manage to come out of it. But it will affect your next project which you take up. So it will become a vicious cycle. Next time you won't even start with that level of energy. If you don't start with that energy or enthusiasm, then the probability of failure again You are increasing now the probability of a failure. Or not that much success, which should have been there. But when a move star's film fails then people talk to him about it, that his movie did not do well the demand for him has come down they say that they would still like to invest money on him asking him to reduce the price In that era, around 30-40 years ago someone said the exact same lines to a film star. So you know what he said? See, this is it. And I'm sure that actor Must have risen back to what he was supposed to be. Yes he did. Because he did not let the situation affect the state of his mind. He rose above the situation. We will be able to see this the whole day around us. There are so many people, who have absolutely nothing left with them Their flourishing business crashes suddenly. But they do not get shaken from within...
