CONQUER YOURSELF
COPING WITH MOOD SWINGS:
• Immediately, it is best to seek solitude in order to sift through your emotions. Try to pinpoint what exactly triggered your mood to shift suddenly. Track your mood swings in a diary.
• In order to get rid of mood swings, make sure that you are 100 % certain of everything you do; leave no margin for insecurities or negativity. When you are 100 % confident, your mind will not shift your feelings.
True happiness that is negativityproof is the ultimate cure to mood swings.
This is why adopting spirituality is so important for those seeking to achieve perfect harmony of the mind, body and soul. When your heart is contented and your soul is happy, you will get rid of your mood swings.
In this situation, it is important to know what you want and then adopt a lifestyle in agreement with your nature.
TIP: At the end of the day, spend some time analysing your behaviour throughout the day. Note down any points to work on.
WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS
In order to be self-aware, you need to know what your genuine weaknesses and strengths are. Understand how they affect your behaviour. What hurts your feelings? What makes you feel confident?
‘ If you know your weakness, you can work on it. If you don’ t know your weakness, it can become a chronic disease.’- HIS HOLINESS YOUNUS ALGOHAR
Recognise what you are vulnerable to. When you know something is irresistible and you are vulnerable to falling prey to it, if you are selfaware, you will escape. If you are not, then you can easily be entrapped.
For many people, their weaknesses block the manifestation of good in them. For example, you could be a very easy-going person, but your weakness may be that you cannot tolerate rudeness. If somebody purposefully uses abusive language when speaking to you, knowing that it is your weakness, they will bring out the worst in you.
The solution: do your best to bring flexibility into your character so that you can easily absorb any kind of pressure or abusive behaviour. Do not allow yourself to be weak, because in weakness, you will manifest the hidden element of evil in you and you won’ t be able to perform to the best of your ability.
If you want to be a better person, let nothing be your weakness!
