Seize The Moment To Renew Your Mind
We are always in the doing and rarely in the being. The being is where you reflect. It's where your mind jumps off the treadmill and talks to you. It's also where you become more aware of your thoughts and your environment. Just BE. Take this moment to do nothing. Act as if there are no plans for tomorrow. See how your mind automatically jumps to think about the things you have to DO tomorrow? Or maybe you simply just relaxed your mind and focused on your thoughts. The point is that your mind needs breaks and I out of all people need to hear this first. I too need to be reminded to slow things down and gather myself. We often are always doing because we feel we need to or else the sky will fall and we will start to freak out. We are living busier lives by the minute and time to just BE can seem scarce. But it doesn't have to be because you can choose to BE.
Do you find yourself always busy, planning, or doing?

If we take a break from everything...to the extent even from self...just make our mind a watchful cat, then so many tremendous experience we can have and we can see what we do and what we think right from day to night.
And it takes practice to be able to do this time and time again. I started meditating about a month ago and I need to jump back into it.
this is so true dear @humanearl and the fact is that our mind is really in passive state all the time and once it becomes active, then we will inch towards more awareness and once that happens, we can realize every second of our life....
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful....
Simply being aware makes all the difference. People in many years ago were able to reflect and be more aware because they lived less busy lives.
Thanks @humanearl for sharing the post and the vlog with all of us.
Wow man first of all your Video editing skills at the start were really amazing loved the tune at the start if you could tell the name of it that would be awesome i personally loved it well anyways coming to the main point of the video... to be in the moment
As you said it man how refreshing that moment was when you enjoyed a walk with your daughter there the weather was looking really amazing and the atmosphere was purely surreal and amazing Enjoying each bit of life is more important as every one has got a life many just spend it just to die we all have to die but we could impact others life too its how we look into that and seize the moments that's what's matters to me keep enjoying each moment of it and most importantly be in the moment.
Thanks a lot again for sharing i enjoyed your vlog watched it after many day's.
Have a great day ahead
Cheers.
I love this song. It has such a good message.
You're spot on. I've just been listening to a podcast with Naval Ravikant in which he discusses these points around being in the present and trying not to think about the past or future.
You can listen to it here - https://www.fs.blog/2017/02/naval-ravikant-reading-decision-making/
It's long but well worth a listen. You're kindred spirits.
Cool I like learning from new perspectives. Thanks for the link I'll give it a go.
The moment we are living right now is the ultimate content truth....past and future both are like illusion and nobody should give more room to past and future in their mind.
Thank you @humanearl and Have a great day.
And nowadays contentment is hard to come by. This is probably why most people don't intentionally take the time to reflect.
In order to begin to fully live and see objectively all that surrounds us, it is necessary to be able to liberate one's mind. The mind of many people is in captivity of doubt and fear. "Free the mind" as much meaning in these words. A person who is able to at least for a short time be able to relax and let go of the flow of his thoughts (meditation) is truly capable of much.
I like what Bruce Lee said about it. His philosophy of Water is simply delicious. It is necessary to be like water - you pour water into a cup - it becomes a cup, you pour water into a bottle - it becomes a bottle ... water can flow and be calm and unshakable, but water can be a crushing force. Amorphous is the main quality that a person can learn from water. Being like water means adapting to any situation in life and winning. I like it.
Yea Bruce lee was very insightful. I like the way he put it too. This is something I will continue to improve upon in my life.
I always find myself on that situation, because as a mother we do all the chores specially when we are with our family. There were even times for me that i neglect to love myself. Because of this busy things in life our body also get tired that even times you take for a nap still you're thinking about for tomorrow. As times goes by i did learn how to manage my time and that should we do in order for us to have peace and live a healthy lifestyle accordingly thanks for this inspirational blog @humanearl
It's really hard I know. I can't Imagine how it is for you. But I know just taking out 10-30 minutes of the day to just refocus is helpful.
Wow that's good and actually i did a time budgrt what to do everyday that's why i'm feeling better now
Time becoming fast that makes almost individual cram.I myself do that but most of the time i look for a break to rest my body and mind.Everyone needs to medidate once in awhile,but you can still do that even in a short period of time just make a deep breath and exhale and relax.thank you for always sharing a positivity.
When I did some meditation my mind just opened like a book. I had so much more space in my mind to think and relax. People can really benefit from doing that.
And the Present Moment IS the only place where we can truly be, unencumbered by worry and fear, which seems to be where so many go when considering the future. And the past? Where people go to find shame, and yet there is nothing that can be done about the past; it simply is.
Learning to be truly Present is important. Because right in this moment, everything is perfect. Nothing is wrong. And in this moment? Everything is also perfect. The present is an endless series of perfect moments...
I still struggle with the worry and fear of not doing things because my mind can be stuck in the future.
Yea @humanearl...we humans are fund of living on the fast lane, always thinking about tomorrow, always wanting more, always trying to acquire but never take the time to enjoy the moment , never take the time to look back on our achievements and get to relax our minds.
We all have only one life to live and when we leave this earth, we never coming back so I think this is a worthy admonition. Let's take the time out to Being and not always Doing.
Thanks earl
Man this is hard to do but it helps so much. I feel more refreshed when I can take some time out to just Be.
