After just about a week, I have had some insight as to
some simple changes in perspective that can be a tool for creating a balance. Staying with the moment to moment living is
much more difficult than I thought. When
something occurs, I see the situation and player but also a bag of history that
is either positive or negative. That Judgment
shades how I react and drags me in the drama or script of past
conversations. I can see this much more
clearly when I replay conversations with people that I have less than pleasant
history with and it is particularly true when the heat of a former encounter
was intense.
Another light bulb was that it is not easy to have a
good pulse on what I KNOW and don’t KNOW.When I am present - focused mindfully and living with compassion
for myself and others… life flows and there is a true sense of living in the present
moment.
When there is a connection to others, strangers,
friend, family…there is quality of loving kindness and emphatic neurons fire
when we connect.
Delusion, speculating,
clinging to the past is such a waste of time and causes the lost of a
connection to the here and now. It also
can be an excuses for not living awake and alive.
Setting boundaries is a key to taking the project out
of living. No means No… and that helps with
priorities and knowledge that at any given second we are best we can be.
Insufficient time is an illusion… there is always
enough time to do what is important.
Focus on what is important to reduce desolation and foster equanimity.
Without strategic renewal – meditation or pause.. we
move depleted and scattered into the next situation rather than bringing our best. It is the dust of the last encounter that fogs up the new
Responding too quickly has created an appearance of
reacting which has led to needing to go
back and repair… Writing an emails and waiting an hour before sending or send
it to myself and see how it sets my reduce to eliminate the need to restep. Restep and repair takes time from moving forward.
