In vandag se Suid-Afrika het selfs die magtigste en mees onwrikbare nodig om asem te haal en te besin. Hoe gee \u2019n mens angs \u2019n vuishou? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar eers, ons moet sonder vrees in die stinkende maalkolk van die werklikheid staar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die probleme, die onsekerheid wat almal in ons verdoemde land byt \u2013 ongeag status, ouderdom of kultuur \u2013 is soos \u2019n tuimeltrein-rit langs die swart afgrond. Skreeu\u00adende, o\u00eb wyd oop, terwyl die onbekende jou gooi in situasies wat jou naar laat voel en los met \u2019n diep ontevredenheid. Dit is soms so oorweldigend dat jy dink die antwoorde moet kompleks wees. Maar daar is hoop in een\u00advoud; in alledaagse, klein dinge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is soos om bus te ry. Die eerste stop op hierdie angs-bustoer is om \u2019n gees van bewussyn te kweek \u2013 of soos dit ook genoem word, selfbewustheid. Dit gaan alles daaroor om in die hier en nou te wees, eerder as om in die verlede of die toekoms te wil rondploeter. Maklik, n\u00e8? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Paar oomblikke van gebed, meditasie of diep asemhaling elke dag kan wondere verrig. Die ge\u00adheim l\u00ea in selfdissi\u00adpline. Elke dag, ongeag hoe jy voel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victor Frankl, \u2019n oorlewende van die Joodse volksmoord wat diepe wysheid neergeskryf het in die aangesig van wanhoop, se mantra bly toepaslik: \u201cWanneer ons nie meer in staat is om \u2019n situasie te verander nie, word ons uitgedaag om onsself te verander.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy wysheid leer ons om op ons reaksie te fokus en moedig ons aan om betekenis in teenspoed te soek en dit as \u2019n katalisator vir persoonlike groei te gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit bring my by die volgende stasie: selfsorg. Ek praat nie van broccoli eet of marathons hard\u00adloop nie. Dit gaan meer daaroor om tyd te maak vir aktiwiteite wat my laat goed voel. Myself verloor in \u2019n boek, my voet ritmies tik terwyl ek musiek luister, of die natuur se loopband waardeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan, die nuus. Inligting is noodsaaklik, maar om die w\u00eareld se probleme deel van jou lewe te maak, is \u2019n resep vir \u2019n slegte geestelike maaltyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laastens, dit is reg om die witvlag te swaai en hulp te vra. Niemand het ges\u00ea ek moet \u2019n eenman-le\u00ebr wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om \u2019n bietjie op die rand van moedeloosheid te sit, is menslik. Met \u2019n knippie bewussyn, \u2019n skep selfsorg, \u2019n gesonde dosis inligtingsbestuur en \u2019n bietjie hulp waar nodig, kan mens hierdie onderstebo w\u00eareld navigeer met die sierlikheid van \u2019n balletdanser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want soos Seneca eens ges\u00ea het: \u201cOns ly dikwels meer in verbeelding as in werklikheid.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
