Mindful break(s)

Can you be still and just be, or does your busy insanity level reach dangerous peaks?

Instead of going through the motions, try to practice a little more mindfulness. In other words, think before you act or make little things into a bigger deal. For example, try to prepare your morning cup thoroughly rather than dump random grounds into the coffeemaker and chug the milk like fuel. Or notice the hot and cold water splash on your skin and smell the soap instead of screaming through the shower. Savor the sunrise, and enjoy the breath of fresh air like a sacred ritual without crushing a cigarette.

It is seriously about mindful thinking...

We can all try to just BE like a kit-kat

In a general context mindfulness is defined as moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, characterized mainly by "acceptance" - with attention to thoughts and feelings without judging whether they are right or wrong.

Tuesday

The Juggler (playing with fire)

What is up?
When do you get stressed?

Is it nerve-jangling?
Does your spirit burn?
What to do about the stress?

- Life is not always simple - A juggler has to be mindful. Stress usually occurs when too many things come at us all at once from multiple directions in too short of a time period. The way through this is to focus on what is being created by our actions, rather than on the "having too much to do" aspects of what we are doing. Don't try to accomplish everything all at once; you won't get anything done that way. Learn to prioritize and organize. By practicing mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) and being in the present on a continous basis, we are much better equipped to handle what comes at us.

Stress symptoms

Dizziness Sleep disorders Stomach aches Breathing problems

Tics Fatigue Pains Headache

Heart palpitations Insomnia PMS Irritability

Anxiety Memory loss Weight loss Lack of concentration

One of the most dangerous enemies of a healthy, serene and balanced life is the continuous stress, emotional tension and mental pressure associated with the fast, achievement oriented, materialistic society.When life becomes like a super highway - you are not riding the train back home...

NOTE: Less stress - and good health - do not mean you have to move in circles like a swirling snail, or become madly obsessive and live on sprouts, pine nuts and sterile water. The spiritual component to good health is right thinking and right meditation. >>Sheesh<< Maybe that is why you are here anyway...

Life Quotes

Life is not measured

by the NUMBER of breaths we take

but the MOMENTS that

take our breath away

We do not remember DAYS

We remember the MOMENTS

"We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts, we make the world."

~Buddha

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

- Albert Einstein

What lies behind us and what lies before us

are tiny matters compared to what lies within us

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sunday

The music inside (happiness)

THE MUSIC INSIDE AND THE 10 PLUS PERCENT

Cultivating greater emotional intelligence (EQ) means that you acknowledge that your inner reality is as important as what’s happening outside of yourself. It is the feelings rather than e-motions that color the happy music inside.

The first ingredient
for happiness
is to avoid too much
lenghty meditation on the past

Le premier ingrédient
pour le bonheur
est d'eviter trop
longue méditation sur le passé

- Andre Maurois
