I Find Peace Like This
In this globalized era, where there is a constant flow of information, we pretty much can say that everyone who has access to technology is aware more than ever and in real time about what is going on in the world.
To have a mindful mind means to practice paying attention, being aware of your surroundings, feelings, moods, your body, different sensations you experience in the present moment without judging or analyzing it, just simply being aware of it here and now.
Meditation does not only change the way your brain is wired – you can read more about this on Mindful, Psychology Today and Forbes – but it also helps you change your mind into an empowering instrument meant to assisting you in achieving that what you need.
A few years ago when I got familiar with meditation I didn’t know where it would take me. I had no expectations and no set goals with it. Meditation took me to a journey on which I have discovered how powerful my mind was and how I let it control me not in a nice way for quite some time. Now, finally, I’m working towards being more friendly with my thoughts, emotions and most of all my inner self.
At the crossroad, where do you turn to? Listen to your inner-self, it will point the right road for you to follow. Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. Lao Tzu
We all know them. Negative thought patterns are what keeps us from living a happy, fulfilled, stress-free life. Our thoughts have a huge impact on our emotions and affect the way we behave. Once we observe and identify our negative thinking patterns, we can learn to replace them with more optimistic and empowering thinking habits.
“Forever is composed of nows.” ― Emily Dickinson

AM I HAPPY?
I have always considered myself to be lucky. I was born in a loving family, I’ve never had health issues, I’ve always enjoyed the company of great friends, I’ve been able to pursue the career I chose and I ‘ve had the opportunity to develop all the hobbies I dreamt of. However, many times I struggled to be happy like if having all these things wasn’t enough.
