Mindfulness Means Paying Attention In A Particular

Sometimes Shutting Off The Sound On The Television Can Allow You To Actually Watch The Game And Take It In In An Entirely Different And More Direct Way - A First-order, First-person Experience - Rather Than Filtered Through The Mind Of Another.

As Long As You Are Breathing, There Is More Right With You Than There Is Wrong, No Matter How Ill Or How Hopeless You May Feel. But If You Hope To Mobilize Your Inner Capacities For Growth And For Healing And To Take Charge In Your Life On A New Level, A Certain Kind Of Effort And Energy On Your Part Will Be Required.... It Will Take Conscious Effort On Your Part To Move In A Direction Of Healing And Inner Peace. This Means Learning To Work With The Very Stress And Pain That Is Causing You To Suffer.

When Your Alarm Goes Off And You Jump Out Of Bed, What Is The Nature Of The Mind In That Moment? Are You Already Like, "oh My God," Your Calendar Pops Into Your Mind And You're Driven Already, Or Can You Take A Moment And Just Lie In Bed And Just Feel Your Body Breathing. And Remember, "oh Yeah, Brand New Day And I'm Still Alive." So, I Get Out Of Bed With Awareness, Brush My Teeth With Awareness. When You're In The Shower Next Time Check And See If You're In The Shower.

Living In A Chronic State Of Unawareness Can Cause Us To Miss Much Of What Is Most Beautiful And Meaningful In Our Lives.

It's Okay That The Mind Drifts Away But You Just Bring It Back.
