Re-Focusing
WHEN THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS, HOW DO YOU RE-FOCUS?
This is a great question, and the answer is, you have to prepare for it. It's learning to control your inner world regardless of what's happen in the world outside of your physical being. This can be hard at first, especially when people talk about things going wrong in the world.
That is why you need to PREPARE for it. Just as you would prepare to run a marathon; enter a body building competition; playing a major league sport; or even riding a bike!
How many times did you have to practice, before you were successful at riding a bike?
It's an unreasonable expectation to believe you should be able to quiet your mind, the first time you go inside and get calm. So take it easy on yourself and just practice. Practice every day. Do it for only 15 minutes. Don't be attached to any specific outcome these 15 minutes are supposed to bring. Just show up, and notice what you notice in that 15 minutes without any judgement.
Do this as a daily...
Order vs Chaos
Groups have studied for decades, how the human mind works; and how to motivate a person. This has constantly been used in advertising. How to stimulate the mind, to get a desired result.
Did you know a person will do more and move faster, to avoid pain than they would to gain pleasure?
You might be surprised whose been using these techniques on you, without your knowledge. Even on the news. Are the reported stories about "fearful" things, or about "pleasant" things happening? I know there are many more acts of kindness, than there are of drama and trauma. However the reports aren't even half good reports and half bad. If you notice the pattern, for the most part, are all fear based reports, and then end with one happy story. Could it be designed to have us view things in a fearful way?
It's time for us to "Re-Focus" our thoughts, our words, and our vision, on the good things in life. Because what we think, say, and do....actually creates our tomorrow.
Everything is a vibrational...
A Gift We Give Ourselves
Forgiveness is the gateway to a better quality of life!
Take a look at the chart below:
Notice the difference levels LOW, NEUTRAL and HIGH.
If you find the emotion of FORGIVENESS, you will see that it's at the beginning of all the emotional states we want to live within.
FORGIVENESS is what you must go through in order to reach a higher state of consciousness.
If you're unwilling to forgive, or to let go of people and experiences that have hurt you, then you're depriving yourself of a happy fulfilled life.
How do we forgive? Who do we forgive? Forgive Everyone....for Everything!
Consciously or unconsciously, most people were taught to label others....how people are different. Then we judge people accordingly. Maybe that's a good place to start forgiving. Forgive those who taught us there's a difference between people with different skin color; different religions; different political beliefs; different cultures....and at the same time, we need to forgive...
Exercising Consciousness
It's important to keep your body healthy, so you might watch what you eat, go to the gym, or walk around your neighborhood.
It is equally, or perhaps more important to keep your mind healthy.
We all can admit we are living in "CRAZY" times...but do you know that you are adding to the Craziness if you aren't controlling your consciousness?
What you think about AND the words you choose to use, are all part of the "crazy" drama currently playing out in the world. They either add to the drama, or they calm the drama!
In the month of June, I will focus on different examples, techniques, and explanations to help break it down so you can gain control of what you're contributing; while respecting others for where they are at in their lives.
To start with, notice your body. Do you feel anxious? Is your body tense or stressed? If you answered yes, take a moment and breathe deeply. Concentrate on each long intake, and slow outflow of your breath. Do you...
