EMOTIONAL EQUANIMITY
From agony to ecstasy
Human emotions oscillate dramatically during penalty shootouts, mirroring life's ups and downs. Gurus advocate for Sthitaprajna, a state of inner equanimity and balance. This involves treating pleasure and pain, gain and loss, alike. The Bhagavad Gita teaches emotional freedom, not emotionlessness, for a richer experience. Life's challenges require a steady mind, regardless of outcomes.
Get into the witness mode
True renunciation is about inner freedom, not outward change. Living in witness mode, or sakshi bhav, allows one to observe emotions without being controlled by them. This practice helps maintain equanimity and handle challenges effectively. By recognizing our true self, the Atman, we can overcome emotional reactions and remain centered.

Kindness towards all

His idea still feels relevant today, especially in a world shaped by social media, where everything looks perfect, but real life is a mix of both good and difficult moments. Read on to know more about it.
Emotional hygiene
Modern education overlooks emotional well-being and non-violence. The Dalai Lama advocates for 'education of the heart'. Cultivating compassion and managing emotions are key. Meditation and mindful living in the present moment foster a positive outlook. Emotional hygiene is vital for a fulfilling life, just as physical hygiene is.
