Namaste!

Hope you listened and enjoyed to the previous episodes of Being Doing Having Series where I spoke on BEING and then on DOING!

Today I am going to talk about HAVING!

For the human kind, Desire is the basis of Life.

LIFE IS DESIRE and Desires are unending! There is no doubt about that.

Right from the time we wake up, desires come into play. Desire to Get up from Bed, Brushing teeth, Taking a shower, Going for a walk, Cooking, Cleaning, Teaching etc. all these are desires.

You could have a desire to play an instrument, travel the world, head a company, desires can be innumerable and that is absolutely fine!

All that matters is - Are they Conscious?

Desires can lead to misery when it plays out as a reaction to the social situations. For instance, my neighbour has a fancy car, I also need one. My colleague has a Villa, I also need one.

Desires can turn out sour or lead to frustration when done compulsively. Unfulfilled desires do cause misery.

We as human beings long to be more than what we are, we certainly want to go beyond our limitations – Desire to be more than what we are, needs to happen consciously and not in reaction to a social situation or comparison.

Considering this is the last part of BEING-DOING-HAVING Series, I want to share an experience with you all that certainly had the volition of BEING DOING HAVING ingrained in that experience.

Well, I have been a trekker since my early 20s.

At that point in time, Trekking used to be a race to reach the peak. It didn’t matter what route I took, I just had to reach the peak, and probably I was physically testing myself!

In my late 20s, when I got back to Trekking, my body didn’t have the stamina to rush up the mountain and especially Himalayas is an entirely different ball game.

In a couple of years’ time, I was working on my Wellbeing with Yoga and Meditation. A friend of mine suggested we go on the Annapurna Circuit Trail in Nepal.

I was a bit worried if I could make it to the topmost pass and whether I could bear the altitude. Although I had trekked in the Himalayas for 3 years then, I still had my reservations.

My friend and I decided that we would take it slow and enjoy the journey and if we can take it across the topmost pass at almost 18000 ft then so be it. If not , it is totally ok.

With this mindset, through all the 15-20 days, we completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek successfully!

If interested you can read about this on my blog-https://trystmyworld.wordpress.com/2019/07/03/the-annapurna-circuit-abode-of-solitude/

And this experience totally relates to BEING DOING HAVING i.e;

BEING – where I had and was working on my wellbeing without any agenda

DOING – Trekking up the mountains, enjoying the views every moment and living it every second. Just doing what was needed at that point in time on any given day

HAVING – Having and Adding ofcourse the Annapurna Circuit Trek to my kitty of accomplished Treks where I didn’t bother about the results and the outcome.

BEING – DOING - HAVING has become my Life. There are no frivolous desires, just conscious ones to sail through and enjoy Life to its fullest.

I hope you have enjoyed this series of BEING DOING HAVING!

Change starts with us to make a better world and a safe haven for the future generations to prosper.

It all starts with you and me.

To quote Mahatma Gandhi - ‘Be the change you wish to see in this world!”

Namaste!

Hope you listened and enjoyed to the previous episode of Being Doing Having Series!

Today I am going to talk about DOING.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about DOING?

Is it your JOB? CHORES? AN IMPORTANT TASK? A BIG GOAL THAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH?

Three decades of my Life I have constantly aimed at DOING THINGS with the RESULT in mind. The MAJOR things that I wanted to DO were related to Education, Job, Career, Milestones.

I want you to make a note on the words I used in my previous sentence– MAJOR THINGS, RESULT

This had led me to work in the mode of – Thinking about HAVING a particular thing and then DOING it. That’s where I went wrong. With the result in mind, I ended up doing things unconsciously.

Lately, I have come to realize that DOING is all about being involved with anything that is being done at that point in time. It is that simple.

It doesn’t matter whether the work is IMPORTANT OR NOT

It doesn’t matter whether the work is BIG or SMALL

It doesn’t matter whether the work you do is based on your LIKES AND DISLIKES

All that matters is DOING anything with utter involvement and what is needed to be done at that point in time.

You may wonder what are the things to be done at that point in time.

For instance, after waking up – you would be brushing your teeth and not start painting right!

To reiterate don’t tag anything you DO into Important, Big, Small, Relevant………. This would in turn discriminate the things that you would have to do and within no time you would have separate buckets labelled as IMPORTANT, BIG, SMALL etc. This would hamper the joy of leading a Life as you would be choosing only a pile of things which you think is Important. This could leave you miserable, frustrated, anxious, depressed!

Life as such doesn’t come up with Important, Big things to be done! Life is to be lived every moment. And by discriminating the things and labelling things only makes things worse and makes us devoid of the joy of Life in its entirety!

When I started to DO things without labelling them as Important, Big, Small, Relevant – I enjoyed doing any task or work or chore thrown at me. And with me being totally involved in that moment gave me that sheer stillness. I didn’t have to bother about the results because when anything is done with utter Involvement, it is sure to find its way in a beautiful positive result without us having to pursue it.

It doesn’t matter what you DO in Life, all that matters is HOW you do it!

You could be a Gymnast, a teacher, a scientist, a vendor, a musician, an artist, an healthcare worker, all that matters is HOW you go about DOING it and doesn’t matter what YOU DO.

What you DO doesn’t define you!

What you DO isn’t your Identity!

What you DO doesn’t really matter!

All that matters is HOW you DO it!

When this becomes your way of Life, you can surely DO anything in Life. You could also be successful in things which you may not have forayed into. Trust me I am talking about this from experience.

Why not Try an exercise- of living a day without labelling any tasks or work. See how you feel and jot down in your journal if need be. Try this for a week or a month. Notice any changes in your life. Introspect, Retrospect and consciously live your Life!

Namaste! How are you all doing? I am back again with a Solo episode.

Well, today I am going to talk about – BEING DOING HAVING. You might be wondering what this is about.

In few of the prior episodes, this notion of Being Doing Having did come up and I thought why not talk about it.

As this is of much relevance in the times that we are in now – the Pandemic.

In retrospection, I have come to realize I was taking the route of Having – Doing – Being! Instead of BEING DOING HAVING

In addition, I quote Sadhguru, “Once you shift your order of priorities from having-doing-being to being-doing-having your destiny will be in your hands.”

Well, this is as simple as first work on your wellbeing then you Do what is needed pertaining to education or work or career and things will come to you as long as you are DOING things with utter involvement and are being of value to others.

In other words, during our teens and early 20s, I am sure we would have thought about having this car, a house, a yacht and what not. And we would rack our brains on how we could achieve these materialistic things. That’s when we would try to get a seat in Engineering or Medical College or Commerce just so that we could achieve our dream milestones. But then having achieved this, is our wellbeing sound?

Are we able to enjoy these milestones while being healthy physically, mentally and emotionally?

Do we get a good night’s sleep?

Do we have peace of mind?

If yes, glad that you are on the right track.

If no, then it is time we introspect and ask ourselves why not? What is stopping us to be happy and having that peace of mind?

And also to accept the fact that that’s where we went wrong instead of taking the route of –Being-Doing-Having, we had been taught or pushed towards the idea of Having-Doing-Being.

Unconsciously somehow I took to the route of working on my wellbeing these past few years. And things and I have changed for the better.

To prioritize things in Life- it is all about-

BEING – DOING – HAVING

Let me break this down further to you all through my experience-

So when I started working on my wellbeing in all aspects- When I took to Yoga, Meditation – I could see incremental changes Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Energetically.

My way of perceiving things has been clear and insightful. I am more relaxed, calmer and take things on the go. I work on things that need to be done at that point in time. I am not worried about the results. I get a good night’s sleep. And there is always a sense of stillness within me despite any situations.

With the mindset of keeping my wellbeing at the fore and as the foundation of my Life, I can Do what is required and  have things that would come my way. Most importantly, I would be joyful, blissed out irrespective of what results come by.

During this Pandemic, our wellbeing is of utmost importance, It is surely the first priority that we all need to take care of. As long as we are well, we will be capable of taking care of your family.

As long as we are well, we can do things and also have the things come our way be it money or materialistic things or any other milestones. It comes our way without us having to pursue them.

Well, here is me hoping all of us build our wellbeing in all aspects and also help other near and dear ones before we can go help the community as a whole.

Wellbeing is a must!
