Mindful Moment : The Moment You Notice You're Distracted

Hello friends! In this Mindful Moment we are reminded that we can gently return to the present moment each time we notice our mind has wandered. This return is the practice to awakening from the stream of thoughts most of us live in. Instead of judging ourselves for having a wandering mind, we can appreciate the moment awareness comes back online. It's a simple, powerful reminder that every 'I'm back' is a doorway to presence.

Hello Friends,

This is Soul Surgeon Dr.

Tami with your mindful moment.

And this one is about noticing when you're distracted.

So there's a beautiful moment in meditation and just simply in life that most of us overlook.

It's the moment when you suddenly realize that you've drifted.

You realize that you're replaying a conversation in your head or planning dinner for tomorrow or wandering through some old memories in your mind.

And then in an instant you notice.

You notice that you're not present.

And the irony is that in the moment that you notice that you're not present,

You become immediately present.

So each time that you recognize you've been distracted and the mind's been wandering,

You've already stepped out of that trance and you've come back into presence.

Remember friends,

The mind will wander a thousand times.

But the return,

The return to presence,

That's the real practice.

This is the doorway back to yourself.

This is the doorway back to living your life in presence.

So instead of judging yourself and judging the distraction,

Simply bow to the moment when you notice.

That's you waking up.

That's awareness remembering itself.

I'd love to know if you put this into practice and how it feels.

This is you waking up to you.

Sending you love and peace.

And until next time,

I'm Soul Surgeon Dr.

Tami.

See you in our next mindful moment.

Thank you for reminding me about this moment !
Much love ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Mindful Moments are a great idea! I often don’t have time for longer sits. This was just what I needed. Dr. Tami makes you feel ok with yourself, your being, your mistakes or drifting off, and gently guides you back:)
