Sweeping the floor, watching your breath, drinking a cup of tea; whatever you like to do, pay attention to it.
The more focused on the present moment we become, the more our state of awareness expands. When the mind is caught up in thoughts of the past or future, it can’t be fully aware of what’s happening in the moment. Training the mind through focused concentration, brings us into that rare moment where we experience full awareness. Training the mind to do this is as simple as bringing your attention to what you are doing. Although, that’s not really as simple as it seems, is it? 🙂

I like what Eckhart Tolle says about using the rational mind as a tool for planning and organising, but then putting down the tool and simply being in the moment. Finding the balance between using the tool and being used by the tool is something I’m still exploring. 😉
Nice little post. Thanks for your continued insights.
Inspired to write it after our last phone conversation 😉
i believe when we can control our mind, we can control our life too. Focusing on what’s happening today rather than over thinking of what happened back then is more important, yes. I hope i could be one of those people who can control their mind 🙂
Love your post 😉
Thanks Aiko. You already are one of those people who can control their mind, you simply need to control it in the right way 😉
