We are often so caught up in what is going on that we fail to realize that everything is happening in the present moment. One negative blog post can produce a wave of negative emotions and energy, which spreads out and affects our daily life or even our entire life, unable to be undone. The power of the Present Moment and Mindful Moment: Stay here, Stay Focused by focusing on what is happening now.
A wise man once said, “There is no past; there is only remembering.”
The power of the Present Moment
A simple enough concept, but what if you’re pulled in a million directions at once? No matter who you are or how successful or accomplished you’ve been, it can happen to you: the world feels like it’s spinning faster and faster (in both good and bad ways), and you can’t seem to find that mental peace.
There’s a way out of this. It’s simple; it’s what people in all walks of life do every day, although exactly how they do it varies from person to person. It’s about changing your focus and perspective to see that while the outside world may be moving around you at a million miles an hour, the Present Moment is where you can make things happen and make pleasant experiences. The Present Moment is when you can gain mastery over your mind and do whatever you want, control your emotions over time, and build an effective social connection.
Master Your Mind. Master Your Present.
However, the most critical part of this is that you can’t master anything ever again if you don’t learn how to stay here, stay focused, and stay in the moment of presence. It’s pretty straightforward: stay in the moment and focus on just one thing. This one thing you stay focused on will give you true mastery over even the most difficult situations that seem to have no answers and drive a better and healthy life.
The Present Moment is the only time you have any control over your mind. The only time you have control over where your focus lies. The more you practice staying in the moment, the more control you’ll have over your mind, and the better you’ll be able to master your surroundings.
1. Your thoughts are not facts
Your thoughts are not facts. They are your interpretation of reality, and it’s up to you to separate facts from fiction. The hardest part is learning to recognize that every thought you have is a creation of your mind.
People are susceptible to this, and they often think that it will become true if they believe something enough. In reality, all that thinking will do is make things harder on yourself than necessary because now you’re stuck playing out a negative situation in your mind instead of acting on the situation itself.
“Thinking is the process of interpreting thoughts. If you think in a positive, constructive manner, you will create positive results. If you think negatively, you will create negative results.” – Paul McKenna.
2. You are NOT your body and you do not belong to your body
You are not your body. You are not the total physical that makes up who you are from head to toe; only a tiny fraction of who you indeed are. Your body is a shell, and inside that shell is the part of you that functions as an extension of true consciousness itself. This extension gives you the ability to think, feel, create and interact with your surroundings.
By seeing yourself as a being living in a physical world, you can better understand that anything physical, like your body is subject to change and limitation. It also makes it easier to control how you view things.
The body is not who you are; it just serves as the frame that carries you through the world.
3. Your Mind is a box to be filled with things
Your mind is a box to be filled with things. Life can bring millions of different aspects of experience into your life that will change your perception of life in general and your understanding of yourself in particular.
There are truths to be discovered that will make you a better person. There are also lies, falsehoods, and deceptions that will make your life more complicated and more stressful than it needs to be.
It would help if you learned how to decide what is true for you and what isn’t. The best way to do this is through learning about your mind. If you believe something strongly enough, it becomes true in your mind; but this can be both a blessing and a curse. You must learn to decide what is true for you and then accept that you will not change your mind. In doing this, you will become much more effective in moving forward in life.
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.” – St. Augustine.
4. Your Mind is a tool to be used as you see fit
Your mind and all the thoughts it contains are tools that can be used as you see fit. People don’t use their minds to their full potential. Most people use their minds to interact with the world around them from one day to the next.
Most people use less than half of what they have available to them. They think in trite little ways that make it hard to connect different situations and events around them.
It would help if you learned to use your mind to its fullest potential. Instead of just reacting, you should think critically and challenge yourself to see the world in a new light. It would help if you explored different possibilities and choices because there are always alternative versions of things that need to be examined.
Even if you don’t choose the best one, you will become much more skilled at seeing things by exploring all the possibilities.
5. Your Thoughts create your life through affirmations
Every time you think about something, you make a belief that then becomes a reality in your life. You can believe anything you want, but the truth is that the way you think creates your life. This is because all thoughts are created by what is on either side of the thought.
The way you see yourself and all other people depends on what you think about them.
When you think positively and affirmatively about yourself, it will change your reality. You can say that you are a great person, or whatever you want. But the truth is that every thought creates your reality, so this is just a matter of choice.
You can choose to believe in yourself to be understood positively by others.
Begin thinking and acting affirmatively instead of negatively. Every time you think something negative about yourself or someone else, stop and reverse the thoughts before they become your reality.
6. Your Human Mind can never be fully explored
The human mind is an enigma. It is a beautiful and complex thing that can create, destroy and recreate almost anything. It’s the most amazing part about being human, yet it is also one of our biggest problems.
Most people use only a tiny fraction of their minds, but they don’t realize it. If you can learn how to use your mind correctly, think positively, and clear away the negative thinking, you will be able to do what life calls you to do.
You must know that the human mind is capable of doing anything you can dream of. A human mind is a tool that can create anything in this world if it chooses to do so, but it must be allowed to work correctly.
If you don’t discipline your mind and learn to use it properly, you will not unleash its full potential.
7. Your mind shapes the reality around you
Your mind is what shapes the reality around you. It takes raw, physical events and turns them into something quickly processed by the human brain.
We understand things through our filters of perception, and how we see things from one day to the next depends on what we are thinking about them at that time.
Anything can be changed if you choose to make it so. You are free to do whatever you wish with your mind, but know that this will affect how things are seen and understood by other people.
“Belief in a world outside ourselves is the hermit’s refuge; belief in ourselves is the philosopher’s stone.” – Arthur Schopenhauer
Understanding how your mind works and its impact is essential to making life better for yourself. It is necessary to understand that others or the external world are not limiting you but creating those limitations for yourself.
The more you understand your mind and practice present-moment awareness, the more it will work for you rather than against you, and the more it will help you stay focused, avoid harmful effects and enjoy the present moment.
