Slow down your pace, Live in the present

In today's world we are accustomed to the constant hustle and employment. Each day we eat a little more shove. From this an illusion that in this way we get closer to happiness and satisfaction. In fact, we are moving away from only their own happiness. Our haste means that we are driven by our ego, which naively believing that happiness, security, and even love can be found only if we have a surplus or all do quite a lot. The problem is that our ego is always somewhere in a hurry and constantly talking about the past and the future. But if we do not live in the present, therefore, we do not know how to live.

If we do not find space for our deep "I" in their lives and do not extend beyond his ego in the direction of the great reality of the Unity experience true happiness and real life will always elude us. Our deepest "I" realizes that the main goal in life is simply to live, instead of reaching for something and do not seek. Just live. If you reduce your pace of life, this does not guarantee that you will start to live the present, but it will greatly facilitate the process.

Here are five easy ways that you can slightly slow down your life and stay in a carefree time.

1. Set a goal to make the day slightly lower. It seems quite obvious, but if you did not seek to "do more", but instead set himself comfortable for your goals at the beginning of each day or work week, then you'll probably switch to a carefree time. Just omit one or two jobs or have four instead of the usual six. In this case, you have created enough space to enjoy life. (If you find that other things that have to do in free time, then you need to change their attitude toward business. See Chapter 14 ...)

2. Arrive on site in advance. Maybe you're one of those people who pack the things in the last minute? There have been no Do you have cases that you came to the train or plane just minutes before departure? Maybe before you go to a meeting you last seconds of doing something your trying to do more? If so, then you deliberately add a hefty portion of his life stress. (Incidentally, my husband still goes that way, and I can see how it affects him every day!) If you are planning in advance to arrive at the venue early and at the same time take into account your any unforeseen circumstances, you'll feel a lot calmer and confident.

3. Enjoy the process expectations. In the queue at the store or in traffic, your Hard Time begins uneasily "drum", causing concern for the lost time. We tighten the muscles of shoulders, and we are more and more upset. Our carefree time calmly accepts the situation, smiling and relaxed while enjoying the unexpected opportunity to slow down a little bit of life. Thus, the situation is the same, but the attitude of different things. (A friend of mine who hated congestion, decided to keep the car's tune. Then, as soon as he hit the "stopper", he got a simple tool and rehearsed a couple of new tunes. No more traffic jams do not bother him. And, in addition to all He learned to play nice on my unsophisticated instrument!)

4. Travel slowly. Walk or use a bicycle whenever possible. It's amazing how hike to the nearest store for a carton of milk instead of a trip there in a car can improve our quality of life. This is due to the fact that at this point we're a little slow down the pace. If you want to have to travel by car, why not move to a low rate, even slower than it is allowed? Enjoy the journey, not just fly swiftly to their destination.

5. Bring yourself into the present moment. "Magic Moments" occur when we are fully present in this location. You can feel the gentle breeze in the face, to feel the flavor of child's hair or enjoy the taste of ripe plums. But no matter what you do at this point, do not think about the past or the future. You are fully present "here and now." Let your thoughts flow as smoothly, do not cling to them. Bring yourself to this wonderful moment. What you now see, hear, feel, smells? How are you feeling your body? What's going on around you? Do you feel the magic?
