On top of the world

This was written during my third semester

Since past two days,i had burdened myself with a lot of work though it wasn't actually required.I had been really feeling sad since past two days and it so happens with me that everytime i am depressed i tend to become a workaholic to mask my sorrows.It was sunday morning and i woke up early because inspite of trying hard,i couldn't sleep.I suddenly felt like going to the sportsground for jogging.The next moment i was taking rounds of sports ground and to my surprise i had taken 3 rounds continuously.It was too much for me and i was already out of my breadth and was sweating badly.I came back to my room and after having a bath sat down in the lobby to read a book.It was actually a short story where people had described very short and interesting incidents of their life.

I was getting more and more involved in reading when i suddenly felt the morning air blew on my face.I was suddenly feeling so good from inside,felt like capturing the whole world at that point of time.I just closed my eyes and i could imagine myself standing at the mountain
top shouting at the top of my voice"I am shruti and i am the best".I didn't want this feeling to stop.Suddenly i wanted to do so much more in life ,suddenly i felt so enthusiastic about everything around me.Suddenly i felt that so much of love and energy was hidden inside me.It was me,me and only me just like a free bird.I don't know but that feeling made me come so alive.

I wondered why don't i feel the same everyday.It was one of the best feelings i'd ever had.How often in life do you feel so free,just you and yourself.Everything seemed so exciting and full of potential.I came back to the room feeling so good.

I decided to go for jogging everyday but that was just a momentary decision taken out of enthusiasm.C'mon sports,jogging,meditation........its just not in me.

well i think i got the answer of ur ques "I wondered why don't i feel the same everyday"
its just because these momentary enthusiastic drives are to make u work hard rather than being lost in the feeling itself u just need to use these inspirations to motivate ur inner self further,dont forget the best motivator for a person can be that person himself..

If you can learn to enjoy the simple things in life, you will be never bored or depressed.

Each person has to find out his or her own special way to deal with boredom and depression.

Remember depression can even come to the most pretty, handsome and very rich people who have everything.

For some jogging help. For some reading help.

One of the things that really helps me is HAMSA -- the yogic method of "watching inhalation and exhalation with out interfering the flow of breath or nostril movements."

take care
