It’s not about wanting to be a more mindful person. It’s about aspiring to experience more mindful moments in our daily lives.
The effort is in discovering our ‘gifts’. The joy is discovered in appreciating them.
It’s never too late to start over again…
When entangled emotionally in our incessant stream of thought & feeling, we need to relax our attention, and try, as best we can, to observe without indulging.
PAUSE. BREATHE. Be AWARE of what you’re doing… what you’re thinking… and what you’re feeling.
A ‘thought’ is simply a thought before we stick a label on it…
Much of what we fear will never come to be more than a construct of mind.
Suffering is the ‘life’ we give our pain.
In the field of our ‘open awareness’ and ‘free attention’ there arises the space for clarity and for wisdom.
