Love or Like in my terms

 ‘Love’ or ‘Like’ in my terms

Exothermic Like and endothermic love, 

Seem to denote the chemical changes with a smiling curve

Like is smooth reactions occurring in nature,

Love needs special catalyst, pressure and temperature

Le-Chatelier said equilibrium shifts to right or left,

Wondering which side each one to be kept

Like makes it all homogenous,

Love is meant to be heterogenous

Like is reactive and shiny as a metal,

Love has nothing to do with periodicity found in the table

Like is an anode, positive terminal of the cell,

Love is a cathode, metal deposition there needs no story to tell

Charge bearers, protons and electrons,

Love is prone to decay and like is a neutron

It’s all about chemistry with Like or Love,

Maybe, Like is spontaneous and Love is a shove

Zeal

 Zeal

I saw a post on fb while I was having my morning tea. 

It said about boredom in mid-age; that is 40’s.. I got puzzled for a second, does it really happen?

 

And it triggered my thought process and pushed me to pen down something. 

What exactly it feels when someone says ‘ getting bored in life’? 

I guess it feels like not having any zeal, positivity towards life. Energy-less life will of course be boring. It follows science too. We all have learnt law of conservation of energy. Based on it, if we are not putting any energy, we won’t get or feel that energy in any aspect. 

Let me elaborate my point. 

If we look at boredom, one of the reasons could be monotonous routine/ life one has. Or I can say each day is on autopilot mode. 

If nothing new is happening in life then of course there will be some laziness or disinterest towards life.

Now, what to get this ‘NEW’ in life?

Simple ways according to me:

1. Start challenging yourself. Keep some aim or goal. Of course short term goals, so you will have pleasure of achieving those. E.g. if you are not very regular in exercise then plan/ try to be regular in it. Plan your day accordingly. This small goal may give you different perspective and fill some enthusiasm in you. While doing this please keep it in mind that the goals should be short term and achievable, very drastic challenges may not serve the purpose. 
2. Another way could be start learning something new which you don’t know at all or had a dream of learning it but couldn’t do yet. Like gardening, cooking or know more about galaxies anything of your interest. Start learning about it via some classes or books or information from google. May be you will get to know such facts that may ignite your thoughts and attitude towards life.
3. Most of us can’t pursue our hobby as we are running behind our dreams and stability. Now, this is the time. Whatever you couldn’t do or gave up, please try to pursue that again. Your hobby will keep you motivated, energetic, interested in life.

Importantly, we should keep ourself busy. Let me put it in some mathematics form.

It’s proven that frequency of negative thoughts is quite high compared to that of positive thoughts.

It’s almost 100:1

100 negative thoughts and 1 positive thought. That’s the ratio for any human being unless one has mastered his/her thought process. 

So, if we are not busy that means we are bound to think. And obviously resulting in mostly negative thoughts. That withdraws energy possessed by us and instead gives disinterest, negativity, lack of enthusiasm. 

Concluding, keep your brain busy and active by the things which interest you: may be work, social activities, reading, writing, art, music, dance anything which is creative, innovative. This will give you the zeal which is missing….

Stay busy, Stay happy!

Happy living!
