A moment in time

When you spend a day doing nothing you end up being as tired as you would have ran a marathon. It is so weird but somehow understandable. The way I see it is that the body (or yeah I guess it is the brain) always expects to get something to do, new challenges or extraordinary activities to freshen up. When it doesn't get those, it gets kind of sad and decides to act offended and pretend to be really tired. And no, this is not trying to be a conspiracy theory against every single individual of the human kind.
 
The other end of this rope is doing different kinds of tasks during the day. When you do a little bit of this and a little bit of that, your body is happy and rewards you with a wonderful, energetic state of mind filled with ambition and positive hopes and dreams. When in this mood you feel like the sky is the limit, there is nothing you can't do. I love that feeling. So empowering that you almost burst.

This is so true that there is no denying it. Of course you get tired if you exhaust yourself with a billion things to do and of course you have some energy left if you haven't used it to anything, but my larger point here is what I encourage you to focus on. Our minds and bodies have their ways to make us be better people all the time, make us feel good and happy. I am convinced that this is mainly rising from the subconsciousness because if we could continuously acknowledge and control this, we would never be lazy. One notice on laziness, by the way, have you ever realised that after being lazy you never feel good and relaxed? The ruthless knocking of conscience at the back of your head forbids that. 

Nevertheless, I seek that state of mind filled with peace. These two described in the beginning can be the path or the reason for what fills your mind and body thoroughly. Everything is right and good. Nothing can disturb you, nothing can shake your balance and faith in yourself and in the world. I find that walking outside when it is so bright I can't bear to look ahead and everything is just calm and graceful. I find it in exhaustion after doing something enjoyable like a good training. I find it in a song or in a film.

Mind, body and soul. Having them all three together in what you do creates an experience, an emotion, that is worth looking for.

One of the most beautiful Finnish songs I know, enjoy!
