Need to be Mindful

 

Was listening to Dr Jon Kabat Zinn’s “Wherever you go, there you are” Audio. His words made it clear to me the importance of being mindful, of being fully in the here and now every moment, moment after moment.

  • Being mindful and aware fully of the present condition presents  great opportunities for self-discovery and transformation.
  • Opens up new channels of creativity
  • Able to handle experiences better with innate wisdom
  • Each moment becomes exciting as we learn more about ourselves and the struggles by the little-I
  • Gives an opportunity to understand and perceive instead of being judgmental.
  • It is the essence of the religion, to be what you really are.
  • It’s a meditative state where its exactly clear where the awareness is at any point of time
  • Will start living every moment being the boss of the mind instead of existing living the autonomous machine-like state of mind (donkey and the carrot).

"I will be what I will to be. I will do what I will to do." You can repeat these two powerful affirmations over time and time again and thus rearrange, restructure, the forces of your subconscious mind and create a great inner peace within yourself.
