We all have blue days. Be it a Monday, Tuesday or any other day of the week.My go to therapy for beating the blues is literally a dose of green.Going for a walk in a garden will be a confirmed mood booster.
Even watering my balcony plants helps me beat the gloom and doom.But sometimes things do get tiring . Whatever anyone says sometimes there’s only one way to choose,that’s forward. One can’t really go back and expect things to be the same or different according to one’s own will.
That’s why I believe you need to learn to conjure a patronus for those gloomy days.
What if you don’t have a powerful childhood happy memory?What if you are a child and can’t find a happy memory to draw the patronus from?That’s what Harry Potter taught a generation of children reading Harry Potter growing up.
It’s never too late to create your happy memory.Help will always be given to those who ask for it .We can all be a Phoenix and your super power may be being your best self.
But I am getting the cart ,in front of the horse. For those who grew up without reading Harry Potter(the movie watchers won’t really feel this), conjuring a patronus was one of the best magic spells the kids at Hogwarts learned. Regular schools don’t offer such education and you will be hard-pressed to find a book explaining how to conjure one.
But let me explain it to you
1. You need a magic wand and preferably have a little magic in you.
2.You need a very strong bright happy memory.
3.You need to know the spell.For that, you can read the book or I will share the incantation with you. Its expecto patronus.
So whenever Harry had to fight the dementors or happiness suckers, the only way to drive them away was this super powerful happiness-powered patronus which could disperse the horrible dementors.
If low moods are lack of self-motivation is keeping you back,you need to conjure your patronus to get going.
Remember that perfect summer holiday or the Durga puja with family? Remember what happened last December? Remember the first time you saw your spouse? Remember, making your first friend, and growing your first flower, fruit, and vegetables? Remember publishing your first blog post , or book ? All those are powerful seeds of super happy memories.
It’s very easy to get pulled down into a vortex of what-ifs. It’s even easier to blame those closest to us and even self-blame. None of which will help. What will help you conjure your patronus and fight your dementors is accepting that the now requires gratitude and you are probably living your dream in more ways than one.
