The Bernoulli’s theorem of life

"I keep my time saved in a box
From going fast in cars
I’ve piled it up high
From saying hello to friends with a quick goodbye"
~Kathryn Williams
First point I want to make in this post is that this is not about fluid dynamics.obviously what role does physics has to do in a personal development blog?The idea of writing this post rose in me when I had to deliver a seminar on the bernoulli’s theorem(the physics part).But as I could not say that in a science class, I decided to write this post instead.
So,what does bernoulli say? He says that faster flowing liquids(or fluids) exerts lesser pressure on its surroundings.So,how does this relate in anyway in developing ourselves?After understanding the psychology of this theorem,I assure you ,that you will get more out of your life.people will love to talk to you,to be in your presence or consider you as a role model.
Now,I want you to think of your most favorite person,say your LKG teacher.Think of the reasons why do you like them that much.Most probable reasons would be that they were funny,expressive,creative etc.,
But the key point that many never figure out is that they are LIVING in the present and are mindful.Now,back to the bernoulli.We may now change the bernoulli’s theorem to “faster thoughts exert lesser pressure or presence than slower and calmer thoughts.”
The world is seemingly moving at a faster pace. Everywhere you turn, the pace is quick. Deadlines are close, workload is increased, to-do lists are long, homework never ends – it’s chaos.
At least it feels this way.
Has the world really sped up? Are there more things happening today than 50 years ago? No, and no.Thanks to the Internet and cable we hear about everything that happens, immediately.
Our interconnectedness through technology has helped create the illusion of a faster paced world. It’s also created the illusion of less loneliness– but there’s nothing that can replace real life connections with other people. Physical contact and interaction is vital.
Honestly, when was the last time you stopped and took in the smell of fresh baked bread? Or colored with crayons? Or walked barefoot in the grass? Or took a few minutes to just breathe?
here’s a few tips to use our new theorem to improve:
1.Begin by giving yourself permission to slow down. This may seem like a foolish idea, but many people believe they don’t have permission to slow down. You do. Whenever life seems to move too fast, take a deep breathe. Three to five slow, deep breaths will slow everything down.
2.Just for at least half an hour a day.No matter whats in your schedule.This one is simple. Turn off the phone. The Internet. The television. Spend time talking, playing games, take a walk outside. The point is, unplug and connect with other humans.
3.Be 100% present.This is tough at times. But it also is a source of increased tension in life.Whatever you are doing, focus on being 100% present. Multitasking is impossible anyway. Focus on doing one thing at a time and being 100% present while doing it.
4.Spend a moment at the end of your day preparing for the next day. Pick out clothes, make lunches, talk with your parents.Then in the morning, before you jump into your day, take some time a simply sit quietly. Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Breathe slowly, meditate, pray. What a great way to start each day!!!!!!
