Day 19 Day 19 Be here.
Are your thoughts here now?
Or is your mind somewhere else?
We all know the feeling of being here in the moment.
You might have experienced it when engaged in activities such as gardening,
Playing sports or fixing something.
When we are here,
We are not only connected to ourselves,
But also connected to everyone else,
Nature and the earth.
This is from a recognized Indian spiritual leader called Osho about being present.
Try being an ordinary man,
A nobody,
With no name,
No identity,
With nothing to claim,
With no power to enforce on others,
With no effort to dominate,
With no desire to possess.
Just being a non-entity.
Try it and see how powerful you become,
How filled with energy and overflowing,
So powerful that you can share your power,
So blissful that you can give it to many,
To millions.
And the more you give,
The more you are enriched.
The more you share,
The more it grows.
You become a flood.
Between yesterday and tomorrow is today.
If you really want to love,
Really want to live,
Then why not be here right now?
In other words,
Here now.
If your mind is somewhere else,
Bring it back to the present moment.
By being here,
You are more likely to experience calm,
Respond to life thoughtfully and be able to take the light in everyday activities.
Practice number 19.
Be here.
Number one,
Make a list of five things you appreciate.
Look at your list and reread each item again.
Write a reason why you are grateful.
Put one or both hands on your heart.
Breathe deeply and after you read each item,
Say thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you,
With intense emotion.
Number two,
Find the time and space to take a few minutes to feel your presence.
Start with your breathing and scan through your body,
Feeling you are connected to it in the present.
As you recognize each part of your body,
Thank it with positivity.
Be well,
Be safe and be grateful.
