Too many thoughts in your head?

Too Many Thoughts In Your Head? Don't you wish you could make all the different thoughts you have running around your head stop? Does it get worst at night when you are trying to sleep? Do you suffer with insomnia because of it? Perfect Night Sleep What make's a perfect night sleep? What keeps you awake at night? What is it that you are thinking too much about? Is it something from the past you cannot change or something in the future that you are worried about? We all go through life changes and changes can be difficult? We think we can manage, we think we should be able to cope? But not if we do not have 'Life Skills' to survive in this modern day jungle. Life Skills In this modern day jungle full of fast living we are missing the world we are living in. We are letting life past us by without evening noticing the moments of joy.  So what skills do you need to be able to enjoy living in the moment? You need skills to focus on the now and to let the past be the past and the future take care of itself.  For many of us stress, anxiety and depression affects us directly and indirectly as we come into contact with others in our daily activities.  When do we ever stop? Stopping! Enjoy the moment Have you ever had so much fun that you didn't notice the the passing of time? Have you ever said to yourself or someone else, 'Where has the year gone?'.  What were your favourite moments of last year or will be of this year? When was the last time you stopped to enjoy what you were doing in the moment? When was the last time you took a leisurely walk and ended up in somewhere new? When was the last time you tried something new, something different? When was the last time you really savoured life in it's entirety?  All too often we let the moments slip away. It's why we all love and crave going on holidays to become so preoccupied with something new we can forget the old way of life, just for a brief moment. Take a break The only problem with going on a holiday is that after it is over you go back to having the life you left behind in the first place. Most of us tend to end up getting depressed and constantly trying to relive the dream of the holiday by telling anyone who will listen all about it, over and over again. Until we have no one else to tell and we end up listening to other people's adventures wishing they were our own. The Otherside Is the grass greener on the otherside? I don't think it is. What we fail to miss is the moment, what we fail to notice is the 'present moment'. We live in such a fast paced life that we don't slow down long enough to smell the air, see the sky, listen, feel the world, the universe around us. There's no moment like the present and all you have to do is to open your eyes to see it. Because it is only one breath away. Only a Breath Away Mindfulness Meditation is one of the popular ways of living in the present moment. It's the hardest method to practice because it is the simplest method to practice.  What do you have to do? Well! All you have to do is to focus on your breath, keep your attention there, and when you notice your attention is on something else you then bring your attention back to focussing on your breath. That's all there is too it. That'll be $6,000,000.00 please. 2,500 Years Old This simple practice of breathing is 2,500 years old and they new back then what we have just found out with the latest medical technology. That if you focus your attention on your breathing 20 minutes a day you will change your outlook on life to be far more positive because you will be less distracted by the crap in your life. Breathing is the essence of life, without it well life would be just over. But for even something so simple we take it for granted and don't appreciate the tools available to us to practice self maintenance to enhance the longevity of life. Not only for ourselves but for the lives of those around us. Because if we are at peace with ourselves then we will be at peace with our enemies.
