31 Don't Worry, Be Happy

Worry – this five-letter word creates such a hype in people’s life that it is very difficult to carry on with other regular work.  If it were for genuine reasons, some worry is an accepted norm.  But most of the time, people fall into such a pathetic state due to worry that they end up spoiling their health as well as relationships.

There are various kinds of worries –  worry about the job, about the future, about the children, our health, our family, how we look, are we acceptable to others and so many other things that it can even fill a page.  All the worries make sure that the present work that we have taken up is tossed right outside the window and we will worry about that when the current worry is removed.

Some important statistics that were taken from the internet.  I have also added my comments after each statistic as to how to overcome it: -
  • 40% of the things that we worry about, never really happen.  When it is not going to happen, why worry? Unnecessarily wasting our time instead of doing something useful.
  • 30% are actually about the past or the things that have already happened, which we don’t have any way to change.  Right or wrong, what is done is done.  Why worry for something that you cannot change NOW?  Your worrying is going to harm you only.
  • 12% are from the criticisms that we have received from others.  What others think about you is immaterial for you.  Why do you have to live the way others want you to live? Just be yourself and enjoy life to the fullest, others be damned!!
  • 10% are about one’s own health.  Thinking about the same thing again and again is going to further stress you up. So why worry and aggravate?  Just do some exercise and eat healthy. 
  • Only 8% are about the real problems that can be solved.  When these can be solved, then why Worry?  You already know how to solve it.  Just go ahead and solve it.

Some acronyms that I found for Worry: - 
  • Waiting On Reality Repulses You!!
  • Worry Only Robs Rest from You!!
  • Wrong Or Right, Remain Yourself!!
  • Wearing Out a Radiant Resplendent You (my own invention)!!

I find this below diagram an excellent tool for solving your worrying about worries 😊.  Do practice this and you will see a whole world of difference in your outlook!!


Happy worry-free life!!  Cheers!!

The Blog Beginning!!

Hi Friends, I am starting a blog series from next week!! This blog is a curtain raiser on that.  These blogs would contain, as the name suggest, musings from the happenings around us.  I will also be sharing some tips for some how-to-do things.  Some ways to handle and use technology.  How to track your expenses and other such tips. You can be sure that all of them are being used by me in my day-to-day or month-by-month dealings. Rest assured that I will not ask you to do something that I don’t!!  Some of my musings may be already being used by some people.  In that case, that particular blog is meant for others and not you J .  However you may go through the same at your own leisure!!

167. Ramanarayanam Temple, Vizianagaram

Image
This temple should be on your must-watch bucket list!  It was inaugurated in March 2014.  Not many people are aware of this temple.  I spoke to an official there as to why they are not promoting this in a big way.  He said they have a website and all the details are published there.  I believe, since most of the stuff is mentioned in Telugu language, they are not able to attract many visitors.  Although for the Hanuman 3-d laser projection show, held thrice in the evening, there is a crowd.    The temple is located on the outskirts of the Vizianagaram town. The temple is in the shape of a bow.  At the two ends of each bow, there are 2 temples, one for Ram-Lakshman-Sita and one for Vishnu.  Between the temples, shaped in the two bows, there are two galleries depicting Ramayana.  A total of 72 laminated moldings depict the entire Ramayana. At the mid-way of the two galleries, is a tall Hanuman statue, on which the 3-d laser show is depicted every evening.  From near the gate, 2 two pat

1 WhatsAppa Mantras

We all are aware of what WhatsApp is and use it almost on an hourly basis now.  These are some of MY mantras that I follow while using WhatsApp.  You might be following some of these on your own without realizing the same!!  In case you have identified more, please feel free to use the comments section to tell me.  Maybe I can publish an updated Mantras List later!!  Fix a fixed time for checking WhatsApp messages and replying to them.   Other times, just switch off the notifications so that you don’t unnecessarily check your phone for new messages.   Most of the times it would have been the same forward that you got 2 days back!!   Please remember, in case of any emergency, the contact would have called you and not have sent a message JJ Forward only those messages that bring some emotion to you – happiness, heart-whelming or something that makes you proud.   No need to forward just because someone else forwarded to you and you want to make others too suffer JJ .   And please
