11 Oct Practice Tapasya and toughen your mind
Tapasya is a practice which requires us to make our minds do something they really do not want to do.
Just as working against the resistance of weights can build our muscles, working against the resistance of our minds can build mental toughness.
Each of us will practice Tapasya in very different ways. We don’t all share the same fears. We each possess different strengths and weaknesses. Our likes and dislikes vary widely.
Swami Saradanander notes that whenever students are asked to practice Tapasya for a week, 90% or more say they will stop eating chocolate. Giving up a luxury doesn’t count as practising Tapasya!
One key factor in practising Tapaya is honesty.
As soon as we commit to practising Tapasya our mind will resist. If we remain determined our mind will try and talk us into doing something that other people may find difficult but we don’t. That way we can lie to ourselves and pretend we are practising Tapasya!
For example people who are quiet will often choose being silent as their Tapasya when an activity involving public speaking would be a more honest choice for them.
Most of us enjoy being in an environment with a comfortable temperature. Taking cold showers can therefore be a possible choice of Tapasya. Bear in mind after a while you may start enjoying cold showers, at that point it’s no longer Tapasya.
I personally find driving very stressful especially when going an unfamiliar route. When studying for my meditation teaching certificate from Swami Saradanander I choose to drive back home by a new and unfamiliar route every night as my Tapasya.
In conclusion to practice Tapasya start going to the places that scare you. Be honest about your fears and weaknesses and walk boldly towards them instead of cowering away from them. Keeping gently pushing on the boundaries of your comfort zone every day.
As you confront your fears through the practice of Tapasya your comfort zone will grow, your anxiety will diminish. You will grow in mental strength and toughness. You will become more confident, more secure and more happy!

Posted at 02:17h, 04 MarchI know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100 positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
