A good meditation practice will bring you everything you want and need for a foundation for the best possible life.
It is so simple. Just close your eyes, breathe, do nothing, absolutely nothing.
It could be as simple as just stopping every now and then. Becoming truly present and open to this moment. Alive to now. And then carrying on.
Removing yourself from the drama of all the urgent things you have to do, centring yourself, getting clear, and carrying on from this new collected place.
But we love to complicate things. We love to postpone.
You don’t do the simple things that bring you the best results.
Well, if you never ever meditate, if you can’t be bothered learning and practicing the one thing that will change your life for the better …
… well, the other crucial thing you could do is develop your mindset.
Your perspective, your attitude.
Choose to see the good, the glass as half-full.
Choose to curb the harsh negative self-talk, choose to be optimistic, choose to find a way.
My medieval friend Meister Eckhart was bang on the money when he said “if the only prayer you say is thank you, it will be enough”.
Even if you just are grateful more often, your life will become richer and fuller. You will be less stressed, less tied up in the small things, less pulled down by life.
It is so simple, so ridiculously simple, and so easy to scoff at.
You don’t have to change or put on a persona, just be thankful.
Find nice things to say and do for the people around you.
Do it!
Make today about being aware of what your thoughts are doing. Cultivate more gratitude and appreciation in response.
Be active with this.
Like with anything, if you keep doing the same things, you’re just going to get the same results.
Okay?
Awesome.
