How to be in the moment and focus on what you are doing.
1. Start by widening your eyes – Open them really wide. Without focusing your eyes become aware of a slight blur of brighter light….. Breathe in a long slow breath and feel the cool air as it passes through your nose….. As you breathe out allow a very soft hum to be heard and feel the vibration in your throat mouth or nose.
2. Allow whatever lingering thoughts that are present to dissolve.
3. Allow whatever expectations are present to dissolve like smoke after a candle is blown out.
4. Take a 10 second time in –
Drop all extraneous thoughts, feelings or plans and feel/imagine for just 10 seconds that everything is just perfect. Your breath, body, mind, your entire life. Touch that internal place of happy calm contented being and then just let it all go and return to whatever you were about to do.
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
The above works best if you practice when you are feeling really good. You can even just imagine feeling really good and then follow the sequence. The intention is to form a habit of automatically shifting into this sequence at the earliest sign of discomfort (whether it is physical or emotional). The sooner you let go and start the sequence the better it works. |
