Everyone talks about mindfulness these days. It is all over the media. There are books, videos, motivational speakers that talk about mindfulness.
Now, how many of us are able to do integrate mindfulness consistently? Being a keen meditator, I must admit that I struggle to do this.
How can one be more mindful when you want to deal with situations that are challenging? Situations which make you react emotionally? You know you shouldn’t behave in a particular way, but you let your anger, jealousy and/or emotion get in the way? Not only do you react, but then you start to feel guilty once you have calmed down?
It’s a rollercoaster ride. One emotion to the next. How can one detach from this cycle?
If you realise that your emotion is just temporary and you can see yourself in third person, you may suddenly find you have a birds eye view. With this view, you can see yourself and everyone else involved. You may then ask yourself – how can this become a win-win situation? How can we cooperate with one another? Trust me, when you become calmer and are able to articulate your thoughts in line with your truth, in line with your consciousness, everything falls into place, smoothly.
Try it. It may work for you.
Even if it doesn’t and you react adversely, forgive yourself. Forgive yourself and others. Life is a journey. We have to be the best versions of ourselves. We can do it!
