So what can you do to bring some joy back into your life? Start enjoying
journey. No matter what you do, do it to
best of your ability with your focus on what you are doing. If you are walking from
house to
car don't hurry with you mind on something else. Slow down a bit, take a deep breath, look around you and see what is going on out in
world. We spend so much time lost in our heads we become unaware of what is going on around us.
To really start to enjoy your life now - no matter what you are doing, you need to learn to slow your racing mind down and become fully aware of
present moment. When you wash
dishes, do it for
joy of washing
dishes and not to get
kitchen clean. This may sound impossible and when you first try it, your mind will wander all over
place and tell you how boring doing
dishes is. But if you stick with it I promise you, you will find a sense of joy and freedom any like anything you have every known.
To be able to do this properly you need to get control of you mind. The best way to do this is with meditation. I cannot go into meditation practices in this short article but have written about meditation in both my books 'Seven Ancient Secrets for a Happy life - chakras' and '14 rules you must know to reduce your stress'. More information on these can be found at www.exaltedliving.com After you can meditate sitting still try to take
silence and stillness with you and into everything you do.
Do yourself a favour and dedicate today to enjoying
journey
