The Magic of Conscious Self-Consciousness – BionicOldGuy

This is a superb e-book I not too long ago learn by Matt Tenney. The title, and the message of the e-book, are paying homage to Thich Nhat Hanh’s basic The Miracle of Mindfulness. The magic, or miracle, occurs whenever you spend extra of your time paying 100% consideration to what you might be presently doing. This make you spend much less time worrying concerning the future or reliving painful moments from the previous, and extra time within the current. That is one thing I’ve been engaged on for a while however it’s admittedly troublesome to do frequently.

This e-book gave me motivation to attempt tougher. There’s a tremendous story at the start the place Matt found this. He had made a foul error in judgement which led him to a really distressing place (he tried to commit fraud and ended up in jail). After a few years there he observed that as an alternative of ruminating about how unhealthy his state of affairs was, if he simply paid full consideration whereas brushing his enamel he felt loads higher. The identical factor occurred whereas strolling or doing different routine actions. He determined to attempt do that on a regular basis, and basically re-framed being in jail virtually to being on a protracted retreat. He has spent his life since then serving others and attempting to go on this message.

So can these of us whose day after day life will not be as unhealthy as being in jail do the identical transformation? It’s value a attempt!
