Withdraw From Outer Chaos & Inner Emotions

The ability to withdraw can be correlated with the behaviour of a tortoise. When it senses any danger a tortoise withdraws within its tough shell. Introspection is about stepping inside and meeting myself a few times during the day. This inner quietness recharges our battery.

Practicing regularly for a minute every hour helps us to conquer wrong habits. Once we get into the habit of connecting to the self and God, we can do it in the midst of any situation. Using this ability we continue to be with people and amidst challenges but withdraw internally from the energy of the situation. We step back from our emotions, detach, and see if we are creating any turbulence. If so, we understand that our ego is causing pain and hence remind ourselves that peace is needed, thereby emerging thoughts of peace.

The ability to be with people and withdraw from their energy protects us. The energy of peace with which we respond to them empowers them also.

Go into your shell and ask yourself today – Do I have any habits that have a negative impact on my daily behaviours? How can I start to shift or dissolve this habit?
