Stand Back, Observe and Steer

Our lives are filled with different types of situations, which arise from time to time. We often find ourselves getting influenced by situations negatively and our inner power reduces. Stand Back, Observe and Steer is a simple technique of spirituality with the help of which we can experience positivity in a negative situation and instead of getting influenced, we can influence the negative situation with our positivity and change it. It is a technique of detachment in which we stand back from the situation instead of getting attached to it, observe our thoughts closely and then steer the thoughts of our mind or change them and take them in a positive direction, the way a plane or ship is steered when it sees an obstacle in front of it. How do we practice this technique? Here are 5 steps ➔

1 ● 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 by reading or listening something positive. The more our mind is filled with positivity, the more strength we will have to become detached and leave the situation with our mind. Also, we will be able to steer our thoughts and experience peace and contentment.

2 ● 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿. In that one minute, leave whatever you are doing and experience yourself as a peaceful, loveful and powerful soul.

3 ● 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟏𝟎-𝟏𝟓 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬. An affirmation is a positive thought which we repeat and experience again and again. This makes our mind stable and focused and it does not get influenced by any situation or person easily.

4 ● 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆. The entire day, our minds our flooded with information from our mobiles, computers, televisions and other electronic devices. Reduce the intake of negative information and negative news from these devices.

5 ● 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐆𝐨𝐝'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲. By letting go of our burdens and giving them to God, we look at situations as detached observers and do not get entangled in them.
