LIVING IN A BUBBLE

Posted On September 17, 2020

Living in a bubble – is it cool?

As I sit in my Living room and flip the pages of the magazine ‘ a thought flashed in my mind. Am I happy with myself ‘, my living style , the friends I rave about . No complaints. Everything is so hunky dory and cool. 

But as I take a moment and think , Am I happy???

The external me says a big Yes with a broad grin and the inner me says Ahhh !!

That was the one moment which taught me to introspect the Me within. 

Am I living in a Bubble where I don’t see beyond the external parameters ??

I’m not saying one shouldn’t have friends and exit social life , No Never !! But moderation is the key to happiness. This isn’t life at all. If I can take 10 mins of my time to do something I like the most and give myself some extra time, I am going towards happiness. It may even mean I just sit in the garden watching the flowers bloom or gaze at the stars . That’s ME TIME!! Is’nt that a pure way of connecting with the Supreme force than living in a self created bubble. 

Do things which excite you. Dig into your old hobbies which u set aside for whatever reason. Dust them and rekindle the flame to do those little things which used to bring a smile on your face. 

Maybe reading books , like I have got back into it after ages. I always had a fascination for reading Amar Chitra Katha comics from my childhood days and I have a huge collection of it. I am back to reading them too. Wow there is so much to imbibe into your personal being. 

Another simple passion of mine is singing and dancing and I’m getting back to it and it gives me so much of satisfaction and inner peace. 

Cooking was just a chore – was what I used think, till I discovered it’s the biggest stress buster ever.. 

Hey, I’m not saying these are the only things that work out. It could be anything that suits your bill and your personal likes and dreams. 

The one thing I got out of which used to make me enjoy every moment is gossiping and kitty party groups. It’s been ages since I exited from the usual groups in WhatsApp where likes and forwards were the only pastime.

Again I’m not here to distinguish between what is right and wrong . But definitely I’m at peace and relieved from spending hours on these groups and commenting on  every post and having side comments of each others posts and comments. Guess I realised it late but finally did.

Well there is no right and wrong , no rule book to live your life. Its within you to decide what is the path which suits you and makes you happy and content. But take a moment, sit back , think and then decide for yourself . Never take a decision in haste. 

Of course I have rekindled my writing passion and started writing blogs for enhancing my thoughts and sharing My Musings.As I sit & pen these words I feel connected to Myself. I love to know my real likes & dislikes rather than live in a Bubble and run like a headless chicken in this maddening rat race.
