What to Do When You Feel Stuck/Empty Inside

We all face this issue that, in this fantastic life, you sometimes feel stuck. You think life is not worth living or why things are happening the way they are happening. You feel empty, frustrated, or anxious.

And at that time, a hell lot of issues come to your mind, and you got no clue how to act in that situation. You can listen my full podcast related this topic on Spotify.


Role of Body and Mind-

I think that you must be aware of this issue before this comes your way. Because this is a huge problem. This can lead to a point where you can think of ending your life. Though these issues are very temporary but it can give you very heavy trouble.

This time, your mind and body both will not work the way it should work, so, be aware of it first. Or at least just know from this blog that your mind and body are very much responsible for what you’ll do in this troublesome situation.


When this situation arises, most of the people, I know, don’t eat. Though I understand the situation of it. If you want to fresh your mind then you should eat something healthy so that your body could respond well and that is also responsible for your mind.

You need to take care of your body first and then mind because they both are connected. Eat something healthy, keep your health on priority and keep your daily routine maintained. 

Then comes your mind, I think this is way more difficult to control your mind if you are in that situation but you can do several things so that your mind could be fresh like how you do with your body.


Every person is different. You also know about yourself. So, take time, understand what gives you happiness, what can you do from which you just forget all this. For some people, it could be music, for some people it could be swimming, for some people it could be writing, for some people it could be playing, for some people it could be going and visiting some places and exploring more. You know you. This is as simple as it sounds.


Key Points:

1- Take care of your body 

2- Take care of your mind

3- Maintain your daily routine

4- Understand how you are behaving

5- Explore, listen to music, write, play, do what you love to do


Don’t Lose Control over Yourself-

We’ve trained ourselves not to be attentive, it is not that time when it is happening, I think it is this time where you train yourself for that situation.


Let’s take an example-

If you are eating something and looking at the TV or on your smartphone, then you'll not get the exact taste of what you are eating and that's the problem and when bad time comes to you, you wonder why you are not good at thinking differently or why you are thinking constantly. Because you've trained your mind not to be attentive and from that, you create these problems. What you do is a training of your mind and body. And that will affect your future.

Aristotle said that “We are what we repeatedly do,

Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit”.


Power of Choice-

I think, one of the major power that we all have is “Power to Choice”. We’ve a choice. What a superpower this is. But many of us are not aware of that because we don’t choose consciously. We think we don’t have any control. But when you realize that you do have control. You do have the choice to act in a certain way. You can make a decision and change some factors. Your decisions decide what your destiny would be. Some factors are out of your control but decisions or actions, are in control of you. So, take advantage and realize this is a power.

Epictetus said that “it's not what happens to you, but how you react that matters”.


Role of Perspective-

You are now stuck and wondering what is happening. Your body is not in your control. Your mind is not in your control. And the way you are thinking is completely different. If you think you are stuck because of any person, I don’t think so. It is your perspective my friend. And the good news is, you can change this perspective and you can think good about that person (if thoughts are negative about that person).


J.S. Mill said that “No great improvements in a lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought”.

There are some reasons why you need to think like that.

First and foremost is, you are stuck, you are feeling empty, you are thinking that your life has no meaning. I want to ask you; can you please think about the good times that you had earlier. I think this would be a huge list. There were so many great things, even you appreciated that too. Just feel good about it. Time changes man even people. 

Freud said that “Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, or a quest for power, but a quest for meaning”. 

So, find out the meaning in every action that you do and did.


Key Points:

1- Live your life

2- Forgive more

3- Forgive more and more

4- Share love

5- Think about good time

6- See good things in others


Live In the Present-

Look at the past as memories, because they are. You are giving an interpretation to those memories. If you are thinking your life is not worthy enough then this is your interpretation. If you are thinking you are not worthy enough then this is your interpretation. If you are thinking you are stuck because of someone then this is your interpretation. These are your interpretations. And you are giving value to those memories. 

But you need to realize that past is not holding you but you are holding the past. Read that line again and slow. Yes, you got it.

Past is memory. But you are living in the present so do live in the present why you are holding the past. Don’t be so attached to that memory.


Key Points:

1- Live in the present

2- Realize: Past is a memory

3- Give new interpretation

4- Change your thinking

5- Consume positive things

The Book that Changed Me Four Years Ago

People learn from people. Years ago, I found a person named Gary Vaynerchuk . He changed the course of my life professionally and what I was doing. I read his book that changed me four years ago and that book is Crush It ! In his book, he has talked about various things like passion, building a personal brand, content creation, authenticity, marketing and so on. I’d suggest that one must read this book if one is starting just out. This book is very simple in language and can potentially change you as well. Whatever I do, I’d say that the sharing of the content part is inspired by this person. There’s a judgment part of it involved in thinking about what to share and what not to share. What is it to keep for oneself and what is it to share with the world?   but after reading and listening to Gary Vee, things changed. We must share things because we don’t know what it is that could inspire others. We really don’t know. Sometimes a story and a post or a podcast, various things cou...

Creator versus Artist

A creator is someone who makes or produces something new and an Artist is the one who creates or produces art. In today’s era, everybody is concerned about how many followers one has acquired on social media platforms. This is most important for us to know the difference between Artist and Creator, I have already defined what a creator is and what an artist is.   There were artists back then who were not creators. But in today’s era, artists become very good creators. But so many of us have forgotten the difference between the two.   For Creators, the quantity of content defines them. For Artists, the quality of art defines them.   Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Spotify Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Apple Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

Nobody Can Help You!

That would be the most pessimistic sentence you’ll ever come across. But be with me. At least I won’t give you false hope. Because the truth is: Nobody can help you. You are living your life and most of us have lived their life but they haven’t figured out, and I can assume you are still figuring out most of the things in your life. Maybe you are seeking help but you are not finding that ultimate solution that can put you in a great spot.  Well, if you are seeking someone to repair your bike, you’ll find that out so easily, I’m not talking about these kinds of things. What I’m going to talk about is more of the psychological world that we live in fragmentary. And that psychological world is not different from the world you live in. That is connected with your thinking and your actions.  What I’m talking about here is something quite deep. It’s related to values, education and the relation of you to this world. Of you to other people that you don’t even care about. And if you d...

Direction over Destination

“Your first priority is to identify what you want and then make sure you take the path that’s going to give you that. There’s nothing sadder than to see someone get to be seventy-five or eighty years old and look back regrettably because they pursued the wrong target.” One of the paragraph in the book  Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got  by Abraham Lincoln Having a goal, having a purpose, having a destination, it’s all fine but what if you don’t know where to go, you are not that self-aware, you are very early in the process, you could be a college graduate or you’ve passed out but you don’t know where to go. It’s a problem for the majority of people because most of the people are not self-aware, they don’t know what they want from life. It’s very obvious why most of the people are not happy in their life. So, if you don’t know the destination or a goal, how will you then start? To answer you, You just start by finding something you like or you are passionate abo...

From Where the Strength Comes

In this chaotic life, we all need strength. For some it comes from people, money, happiness and for some, it comes from freedom and so on. What if it all goes away someday? To be honest with you, that may happen. The probability is still there, let’s be factual. For some, it is my philosophy but I’m just being factual. Let’s cut the bullshit for the time being. The question now is, is strength relative to all these things? Is strength relative at all? Because if it is relative then we are lost or we will be. And to explore all that we must first understand what it means by strength. And here I’m more concerned with mental strength rather than physical strength. Physical strength must be there to survive, to act, and to function properly. What is strength, my friend? This is not just a question for me but also you. Whatever I’m going to convey must be realized on a deeper level otherwise there’s no point reading this. On a mental level, is it not the ability to think understand ...

Behind the Scene of Writing

Working on a new project, I thought why not show the scene behind the writing? When we write things we get some ideas. Even we can make connections among things and then It becomes very easy to write things about anything.  I like to write it like it, one can make things in the doodle Notebook  in art form as well.   Post by @ajaysinghtalk View on Threads

Embracing Tranquility

In the pursuit of a peaceful and purposeful life, it's essential to align your actions with joy. Engage in activities that bring happiness, for it is the connection between what you do and the resulting peace that truly matters. In today's world, opportunities abound to find joy in various endeavours, and if you're talented, consider turning your passions into a source of income—after all, money-making is a skill worth honing.   Stress management is a vital aspect of maintaining a sense of peace. Choose activities that resonate with you, avoiding those that lead to dissatisfaction. Living a simple life and being unafraid of mistakes are powerful ways to stay grounded. Embrace the present moment; stress often arises from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. While future planning is valuable, ensure it remains realistic, understanding the time required to achieve your goals.   Prioritize activities that bring you genuine joy. Adhering to the 80/20 rule ,...

A Letter!

I’m what I’m right now, right here. The state of the mind is the state of me. Whatever in this, that is me. To be at peace is not a desire but it’s our nature. It’s our life. To live without any conflict in the life. To think about it, is worth it than the things that anybody could desire. There can’t be a great, priceless, worth it desire than to understand life and live it every second. What I want is this. What I hope for others is this. To live joyously is life. To live peacefully is life. Nobody could be happy if that person is full of hate or even a spark of that. Full of jealousy or a spark of that. If people can’t like others how can there would be a relationship of any kind. I don’t see that is possible. Become a light to oneself and that light will awaken others. This, I see very clearly & only option here.

How To Live In The Present | Forgiveness And Acceptance

There are many questions about ‘living in the present’. What it is? And how can we live in the present? Or there is really a thing like ‘living in the present? People have talked a lot about living in the present moment but now, let’s dive into some other aspects of it so that you can understand it from a different perspective. It’s not going to be linear thinking, you have to ‘not try’ to understand everything that I'm going to say but you need to just read and read carefully so that you could gain some insights about it. Don’t Catch the Present A linear kind of thinking sometimes could misguide you, when understanding the ‘present moment’, I’ll also focus on what it’s not. And I think that would be more beneficial for you because I or any other person can’t give you the ‘present moment’. It’s not a thing. Directly saying about ‘present moment’ could make a belief for you and that’s not where good things happen.  The present moment is not something that you can understand intellec...
