Breathing strategy of length

Breathing strategy of length

This life long journey. Like a person running a marathon, do not ever do sprints since the beginning of the line start. Whoever is doing it, would be out of breath. As a result, he will not finish until underlined.

Actually, no job is completely finished. They are the maniacs peekerjaan, struggling endlessly. Morning, noon and night wrestling with the job. But it did not also make the job done. Indeed, a never-ending routine.

We must realize that life requires absolute resting terminals. Therefore, each of us must be good at reading, at times when life must be refreshed. Here are some important questions answered so we can have a "deep breath" until the end of the trip.

A. Do you have measured the ability of self?
If not, it's time you take a break. Balanced, do not force or obsessing over the capacity they have. Buya Hamka termed this by saying, "Do not buy the clothes do not fit on the body, also not too small."

In the context of worship, the apostle Abdullah bin Amr never advocated not to continue fasting and prayer tahajjud. At that time the apostle offers that he is quite fast for three days in each month. "By doing so, you will be rewarded mendpaatkan a month of fasting, because every good it will be avenged ten fold." But Abdullah bin Amr said fasting can do more than that. Finally, he suggested that the fasting of Prophet David, which is one day and one day break their fast. After aging, Abdullah said, "I wish I accept the relief offered by the Prophet Muhammad. at that time ... "(Narrated by Bukhari)

2. Do you have felt the lack of motivation of your routine life?
When it's time you take a break. Often the motivation of life which was launched into the grave in the middle of the road. Steven R Covey, management guru, tells of therapy to restore motivation, a case of what Artur Gordon. Artur that was all boring and flat, went to a doctor. Since there is no physical illness, the doctor then told Arur spent a day in the place where he feels happiest when still a child. He may eat, but should not be talking to anyone. Including reading, writing or listening to radio.

After knowing that the place he likes the beach, the doctor gave him four prescriptions. All he has to go every three hours. At 9 am, 12 noon, 3 pm, and at 6 pm. The next morning, Gordonpergi to the beach, when he opened the first prescription, he read, "Listen carefully". He thought the doctor was not sane. How he can listen for three hours? but he has agreed to comply with the doctor, so he listened. He heard the usual sounds of the sea and the birds. After a while, he could hear other sounds that are not so obvious at first. As he listened, he began to think about the lessons given to him when he was a sea of ​​children - patience, respect, interdependence kesadarandan everything. He began listening to the sounds - and silence - and begin to feel the peace that has been increasing.

At noon, he opened the second recipe and read it, "Try to remember'd read." "Given'd read what?" He asked himself. Perhaps childhood, perhaps happy memories. He thinks about his past on a small lot of excitement that happened. He tried to remember it all very carefully. And the time given, he felt the warmth growing inside her.

At three o'clock, he opened the third sheet. until the time the prescriptions are easier to bear. But this one sounds different. "Examine your motives." At first he was not interested in that message. But eventually he returned deepen the motives he has in depth. And he was thinking about the happiness of the past. "There is no difference between a postman, hairdresser, housewife or whatever. As long as he meraa serve others, the person doing the job well, but if it is to just help himself, he will do it poorly. "That's the conclusion.

Finally, at six o'clock, he opened the message last prescription. "Write your worries on the sand," reads the message. This last recipe did not take long to fill. He knelt down and wrote a few words with rubble, and then he turned and walked away. He was not looking to turn back, because he knows the tide will come and remove the words he had written his concern over the sand.

3. Does your activity is starting to feel monotonous?
If yes, it's time you take a break. Fill your life by making some changes in life style. It is important to improve quality or to relieve boredom. Cousin of the Prophet, known as ocean sciences, Ibn Abbas advises his disciples, "Bergantilah you. If you get bored with the hadith, fiqh take, or the life history of the Arabs. "

Imam Ibn Jauzi also mentioned concern with monotonous and needs his soul in the study. Ibn Jauzi mngaku when he studied the chapters related to worship relationship with God, his ideals weakened, his heart became soft. But usually I Ibnul Jauzi, "Despite the many benefits but it's close the chapter on the condition of cowardly and lazy to cause people are just satisfied with her own personal keshalihan but are reluctant to invite other people to get guidance, and tend to invite other people to be alone (uzlah) in worship." Meanwhile, when he was engrossed in another chapter of science, Ibn Jauzi feel it more useful and more powerful for others, although the sciences that he also brings a kind of roughness on the condition of the liver. (Shaidul Katheer, 141)

Agus Salim is another such example. He is a dynamic figure who is well known. Even sometimes considered too far. In the books that tell Agus Salim, stated he is often to change the position of objects kitchen, or else the room at his home.

4. Do you have an ideal fit between the demands and conditions for reality?
If not, it's time you take a break. This is important, precisely so that the stability of the charity that we do awake. Not a few people who invest in the ideals of a problem, collapsed and fell by the obstacles which he experienced in reality. "Hang the sky-high ideals, but do not forget the grass below," a term which may often we hear that a lot of truth. Of course that does not mean we throw all that ideal and \ lam work. Nor does it mean we do not need to have the best references in the charity. It's just an idealistic dlam achieve it, would require the stages and steps. Stages and steps that will sync between ideals and reality demands. Putting the job stages in accordance with these demands, rather than ignoring the ideals. Because in fact, understand the reality of it is someone the bridge reaching ideals.

5. Did you already take advantage of the things that allowed God in this life?
If not, it's time you take a break. Do not forbids anything that is lawful, and vice versa. Hear the story of Salman al-Farisi and Abu Darda ra. the dipersaudarakan by the Prophet Muhammad "a pilgrimage to the house when Salman Abu Darda, and saw his wife sahabatnyaitu in appalling conditions. "What hit you? Salman asked. "Your brother Abu Darda brother no longer require the world," said the wife of Abu Darda.

Salman finally came to Abu Darda. Abu Darda provide food to Salman. Eat I'm fast, "said Abu Darda. "I do not want to eat until you eat," said Salman. When just beranjang night, Abu Darda was up for night prayers. But Salman said go to sleep. "Abu Darda was unable to perform the night prayer. Towards the end of the night, Salman said, "Now get up." They were praying together. Salman said, "Truly Rabbmu have rights over you, you have rights over you, you also have rights over you family. Give the right of all who have rights. "When the Prophet heard of the event, Apostle said," Salman was right. "(Narrated by Bukhari).

6. Do you have a relationship with a community of people who have the same vision and mission?
If you have not time to take pause. No work can be done simply by a more macro context orang.Dalam, no one can live with just trusting personal ability. Often people need to be reminded of the error. Often key people informed about his weakness. In that community, we will get orangh who want to remind and inform people mistake weakness. And remind the error and told weaknesses. And indeed unique, flaws and weaknesses that will usually be more easily visible from the outside, not from ourselves.

That mechanism was built by the Prophet in the lives of the friends radiallahu anhu. Apostle build brotherhood among one friend with another friend, then created a tradition of telling each other, encouraging each other and sharing.

7. Have you fulfilled the rights of others?
If not, it's time you take a break. Routine of life, we often neglect some of the rights of others. Rights of family members, neighbors, or the right of self-other rights. In Singapore, there is research on girls who behave rude, often kicking the trash can. The study concludes, among other conditions because they are spoiled by a busy mother, while her stern and authoritarian father to him. The results were even draw the conclusion that declares the general model of education in Asia.

The seven questions above, we hope to spark awareness to begin to feel important by pauses of life. Often, our success in the big things that can not be separated from the role of small things. In fact, not only success, but also to live a beautiful harmony and peaceful. There are the usual type of small birds eat ticks on the back of a buffalo. Stuffed birds and buffalo did not tingle. Allah is Supreme Justice.
