Caption: It’s you and me chilling around in our world kind of feeling. (January 2023)

Today I realized how badly my health was ignored. It could have been a better year if I could have kept checking on my health as I have been well aware of the body and the mind are interdependent entities.

Basically, it’s been more than five months since I started journalling my thoughts. In the beginning, it was a much-needed solution for chains of anxious thoughts till the anxiety goes away with a prominent solution or answer.

Now when I try to look back at my anxious difficult times, it was not only my mind who was suffering but also my body lacking in producing positive energy.

For an artist who wants to discover himself, his mind is like an inseparable individual. We ask our mind why are we like this, why do I feel like this, why am I holding on to a sad feeling in the middle of a fun water park? Why things are different for me and I am sure many more whys. And we surely get answers but when you are not self-aware there is no machine to check whether these answers come from a mind at its best capacity or a mind with deemed energy. Because our artistic mind can believe in any theme which catches its interest. And we forget the theme can also be generated by energy produced by the prolonged state of the body which might be suffering.

For example, if you have been navigating through sad feelings for years those are the feelings that will comfort you most and make you question most but sometimes these feelings can be generated through an unhealed body. But an artist who wants to discover himself will rarely question the state of the body till it gets disturbed or altered. Being aware of our mind and body can help to bring mindfulness into an artist’s life to hold on to consistency in his work (an artistic work that can be done with or without mindfulness).

I request all my artist friends to also start listening to your body along with your mind. I think The body is more clever than the mind. Let our minds work on all human feelings purely at full efficiency with the healthiest body. So we could heal others with our creations and leadership.
