Elephant of Our Old Habits

Image result for images elephant
Collection of our old habits, i.e., our old self, is like an elephant that courses through the day, refusing to be fettered by any new ideas or resolutions. Through auto-suggestions and will power, we hurl stones at it, trying to triumph over and change its course. However, many a times, it just tramples over our weak and fragile self-confidence.  Then, what follows is vitriol of our mind, affronting our already crushed self-confidence and descending it even further.

To ferment change in yourself and build self-confidence, it’s important to handle the above mentioned elephant differently and patiently. Usual motivational vernacular may not help. We need to enter into precincts of our sub-conscious mind through meditation and recreate its terrain such that the elephant is forced to change its direction.
