Aggressive State of Unknownness

[Viewers, this is an incentivizing story written by my co-partner, Shruti Talnikar who is also an outstanding writer and optimist. Have a look!]

Amongst our daily life experiences, we come across situations when we get unduly upset or frustrated. We tend to lose our temper so easily on silly things. No matter how hard your friends try to cheer you up, your face still reflects gloom. A state of confusion it is. After everything when we try to find the root cause of this causal chain, we find none!
Preeti was a second year college student.  A girl with a very subtle nature which was mirrored by her decency. She rarely gave off her cool composure. Even if circumstances attempted to test her patience, it was unlikely for her to distort her state of mind. But after all time comes for all with all sorts of surprises & thrills. Apart from this, she had passion for sketching. She liked being engaged in some or the other things she loved. Not that she was obsessed with work; she had a balanced life where she equally dedicated time for recreation, fun & family. 
It was a lazy Sunday. She woke up late and with regrets of having ruined the plans she had for the day. She thought of changing her mind & convinced herself to stay indoors. While walking around the room she was just thinking of how to remake her day when her eyes fell on her favourite comics collection. The train of running thoughts suddenly came to halt. She decided to read a few comics and then plan for the rest of the day.
Hours passed by, preeti remained oblivious of the clock that ticked. She had completed almost four of the comics back to back. It was when her phone rang, she realised that it was half past 12 in the noon. It was not too late that her face showed some signs of distress. After her lunch she did not feel like doing anything. Her afternoon passed indolently. In the evening when she woke up she found herself irksome. She was getting bothered even by the normal behaviour of others. She thought of diverting her mind by giving some time for sketching but she was not able to focus her mind. She started mulling about why she was not able to concentrate on the thing she loved. Was it that she was losing interests or was it related to her skills? Lots & lots of thoughts building up from nowhere. After all tries she sat down & tried to combat this change of her behaviour. She wanted to peer through these disturbing tides and find out the reason why this was happening with her.
We all know that we get disappointed when things don’t go according to our plans/ wishes. We mess up our thoughts and get lost in searching for that one thought that had left such an effect on us. WE console ourselves saying “Dude, it’s okay, its normal.”But our brain refuses what our heart already knows!
The solution first asks you to CALM down. Meditate or listen some soothing music. Yes I know the problem doesn’t get solved here, but almost 30-40% of this trouble dissolves right here! You are upset and for sure there’s a reason behind it. In Preeti’s case the reason behind her frustration was that she did not spend her day as planned. Though the patient side of hers tried to soothe her she was unable to gain control over the situation.
Friends, it’s not possible to always have things as expected. All frustrations are self-induced. The outside world can invite us to get upset, but we ultimately accept the invitation. We cannot change the way things gonna be. But of course we can change the way we REACT. If things do not go well, fine! Remember the control system is with us. Day & plans ruined? Make new plans and add more fun.
Think of alternatives. Look for more chances.
Do what makes you happy.
Shift your attention towards the things you love.
Time gone cannot be brought back. But what you make out of your life now and on is definitely under your control and will. Make the best of it. Smile!
