What is the one thing all of us are running out of in today’s era? Time. The world is whirring all around us because everyone is in a hurry and there is no time. And because of this unnecessary hurry, all of us are ignoring our natural instincts. All of us are trying to crunch as many activities as possible in just 24 hours forgetting the true purpose of our lives. Are we meant to only run and not stop, reflect and make better choices for ourselves? The only way to gain back our natural behavior is by looking at nature and how it reacts to changing circumstances. Which is why today’s discussion is about how there are some very important things we can learn from nature.

One of the most essential things that we need to incorporate from nature is its way of recovering from destruction. Everyone including the nature around us goes through damage. Although for us it is both physical as well as emotional damage. Nevertheless what is important is how nature tends to repair itself on its own. We on the other hand are constantly dependent on external factors in order to go back to our normal selves. This does more damage to us. We become restless and try all kinds of methods to bring back our mood or energy level to what it usually is – although all we really need to do is identify the changes that we are going through (both physically and/or emotionally) and accept it as something normal or organic. It becomes extremely empowering once we get such control over our lives. No external effort needs to be applied. If we begin to repair our own selves emotionally (quite like nature), no extreme situation shall be able to disturb us. We shall learn to become more dynamic and adjusting according to the changing circumstances.

One huge problem that keeps us from such repairing is our lack of patience. This again is a very significant quality of nature, i.e., the ability to breathe through difficult situations. It is so easy and hassle-free. You don’t really have to do anything just remember to breathe especially when you are feeling uncomfortable due to any specific changes in your life. Have you tried my 15-minutes process of ‘Dynamic Breathing’? These breathing techniques shall help you be more patient. It shall remind you that you do not have to act impulsively. You can take all the time that you need.

By now, I am sure you have understood that it is the law of nature to go at your own pace. There is no hurry, no race. What you already have and will receive later is being determined by you at this very moment – so all you need to take care of is your own self – by not running in a rat race but by leading yourself to a position where you can take controlled decisions in your favor. Trust yourself and work at things at your own pace and by listening to your own self. For which it is important to reflect at your choices – go back in time and look at your previous mistakes and how different they could be if you listened to your heart and not your head. Because that’s what nature does. All its thinking is done through the heart and not the mind. The first instinct that most of us have is generally of the heart – but when we take that instinct and doubt it is what lands us into trouble. I explain this idea in more detail in my advance programs like ‘Awakening’ or ‘Ultimate Life’.

And when trouble comes nature is able to handle it in a much better way than us. For example birds in the West migrate themselves to a warmer country slowly and steadily upon sensing the very first signals of winter. They do not wait for winter to come and settle down. But us? We invite trouble and let it settle down and pressure us to a point of frustration and then device a plan for handling it. We should be ready for anything and everything coming at us. You should be highly prepared – because problems won’t knock at your door before coming in.

In conclusion, the easiest point to remember is that nature is simple. It does not invite complications and is very easy even during complex circumstances. That is how you want to live your life too especially if you are the kind of person who stresses and is full of anxiety.
