Chilly cold mornings, you aren\u2019t a fan of those, are you? Depending on the part of the world you are reading this from, there are certainly gradients of the winter chill. Sometimes snowclad, sometimes with black ice, sometimes with no ice but bone-chilling cold air. Regardless of the version of cold we experience, staying within the warm covers is constant. And yet when we eventually do step outside, we encounter a rare breed of individuals jogging, chatting or nonchalantly going about their business. It seems as if they are completely unaffected by the cold! Have you wondered why? What makes them special? Let\u2019s find out cogently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good start to any analysis is within. How do we reach the feeling of \u2013 \u2018disgusted by cold\u2019 after getting up? Either we glance outside through the window or check the weather app on our phones, while sometimes listening to the news while brushing our teeth. And when we finally register this information regarding the weather, it’s only then we reach this undesired feeling. If you look carefully at all of the activities here, we are not performing any proactive action. \u2018Glancing out of the window\u2019 \u2013 because why not? \u2018Checking the weather App\u2019 \u2013 addiction chronicles. \u2018Listening to news brushing teeth\u2019 \u2013 just a ritual\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the time, we are opening the doors to our mental state of mind. There is no intention set, no purpose defined as the next step to be done. Now this state of mind is fantastic and ideal while having conversations or even during meditations. However, it does not help a tiny bit in the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The \u2018special\u2019 individuals, on the other hand, have already decided the night before what they intend to do the first few steps the next morning. This implies that even though they might turn on the radio or check the temperature outside, it does not interfere with their orientation of thoughts. So with the same information, their subsequent thoughts flow through this orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean? Let\u2019s say the temperature outside is 0 degrees. The orientation of thoughts leads to, \u201cOkay, it’s cold. I\u2019d better wear hand gloves and a head cap before going for a run\u2026\u201d instead of \u201cIt\u2019s cold, should I even go for a run?\u201d Notice the proactive action here?
In another scenario, you are in a critical phase of a project at work. The oriented mind generates \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s this moment that decides the next course of action. I\u2019d rather be an hour early, why delay the inevitable? Can\u2019t wait to get on it.\u201d – (ignores cold). The turn-on-radio-and-lets-see soul, \u201c\u2026here we go again. I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to make it to the other side. (Checks the temperature) and to the hell with this cold\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skin sensitivity to outside temperatures for the \u2018special\u2019 as well as \u2018general\u2019 people is probably the same. So it\u2019s not a case of physical immunity. Of course, there are days when the cold makes its presence known right through the blankets and the greatest of resolutions are broken. But even in these exceptions, the probability that an oriented mindset will fight through a cold is higher than an undecided, on-the-go mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One easy way to develop an oriented mindset in the early hours of the morning is to decide on the first couple of steps before going to bed. Writing them down is an even better, tangible step. It makes you immune to the mayhem of indecision. And since we all have a tinge of laziness within us \u2013 i.e., to be in a state of mind or action that continues to work in our favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Once out to run, you continue to run. After beginning to meditate, continue to meditate. One leads to another and we are very good at riding the momentum. It\u2019s only critical to have the right weather conditions within to beat the external weather from affecting you at the start! Proactively anticipating and leaving less for the mind to decide when it’s time for action helps. Think about it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
