What are mindful attitudes to include in your life for a peaceful life
This is the storey: six persons walked into a dark room... In the room, there was an elephant, and each participant was sent to a different area of the elephant. "Now you are going to touch an elephant, and we will ask you to describe the elephant," it was said. "The elephant is like a column," one of them said, touching the elephant's leg. “The elephant is like a tree trunk,” one of them said, touching the elephant's trunk. "The elephant is like a rope," one of them said after feeling the elephant's tail. "An elephant is just like a fan," another said, touching the elephant's ear. “The elephant is like a wall,” someone said, touching the elephant's belly. The person who touched the elephant's trunk compared it to a rough pipe.
Then they all started yelling at each other. Each believed he was correct regarding the elephant's nature. “You are all right up to a point,” a wise guy passing by stated (as it often occurs in fiction...). In truth, each of you is correct from your vantage point. You will get new insights if you move around and look at things in different places."
What really is at risk here? During mindfulness practises, you become aware of both what is going on inside and what is going on outside, and you gain new views. As a result, you'll be able to resolve both internal and external issues. You can see how people limit themselves by sticking to their own point of view because that's all they've ever known; after all, they've only touched one side of the elephant. This understanding you have of life leads to a tremendous deal of compassion and understanding... a little about yourself... You begin to experience life in a different way after you recognise and incorporate attentive attitudes into your life.
With a "non-judgmental" mindset, you become aware of your prejudices and how they limit you. How it influences your life performance...
You may need patience for some things in life if you have the "patience" mentality, just as you cannot open the silk cocoon to expose the butterfly.
The "beginner mind" mentality allows you to perceive things from a new perspective and create new perspectives. Isn't it true that we can't address problems on the same level that we created them?
The "trust" attitude cultivates faith in oneself and one's intuition. You learn to trust life and the process over time.
One of the most misinterpreted mindful attitudes is "not trying." If you don't continually water, dig the dirt, and check whether the seed has emerged, the seed won't develop and bloom, right? It takes time to take root and grow after supplying fundamental requirements such as water, air, and sunshine. Above everything, have patience. This mindset is what leads us to this realisation.
Acceptance implies being able to be with whatever is going on right now, as it is and as it isn't. Without attempting to alter it, control it, or mould it into the shape we desire... Anyway… Once we clarify what has occurred, a variety of options for where we wish to go arise.
And then there's "letting go"... We can't take another breath without letting go of the previous one, and we can't make place for something new without letting go of the things we cling on to but don't serve us any longer. In the same way as a tree's leaves fall from its branches in the autumn... In the spring, making place for new, fresh leaves.
These are just a few of the many Mindful attitudes available. You can live the same life in a different way depending on how you apply and put them in your life. Instead of looking out one window, wouldn't it be good to see what it looks like from other windows?
