SIX MINDFULNESS EXERCISES TO EMPTY OUR MIND(And nd Relief & Clarity amidst madness)

1. One Minute BreathingThis exercise can be done anywhere at any time. All you have to

do is focus on your breathing for just one minute. Breath in and outslowly, holding your breath for a count of six as you inhale. Naturallyyour mind will try and wander, but just try to just focus on the rise andfall of your breath and let thoughts go as they arise. Watch the breathas it enters your body and lls you with life, and then watch it leaveeffortlessly from your body as the energy dissipates into the universe.

2. Mindful ObservationThis exercise is simple but incredibly powerful. Pick a natural

organism within your immediate environment and focus on watchingit for one minute. This could be a ower or an insect, the clouds orthe moon. Let thoughts of anything else in your life drop away asyou concentrate and visually explore this glorious organism of thenatural world.

3. Touch PointsThink of something that happens every day more than once,

something you take for granted, like opening a door for example. At that moment when you touch the door knob, allow yourself to becompletely mindful of where you are, how you feel and what you aredoing. The cues dont have to be physical; it could be that every timeyou think something negative you take a mindful moment to releasethe negative thought. Choose a touch point that resonates with youeveryday and stop and stay with it for a while.

4. Mindful ListeningChoose a new piece of music, something youve never heard

before. Dont think about the genre or the artist, instead just allowyourself to get lost in the music. The idea is to just listen; to do nothingelse but hear, without preconception or judgement. If you cant ndany music you like, simply listen to the sounds in your environment.Dont try and determine what the sounds are, just listen and effortlesslyabsorb the experience.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked hisgrandfather: Which wolf will win?

You might heard the story ends like this: The old Cherokee simplyreplied, The one you feed.

In the Cherokee world, however, the story ends this way:

The old Cherokee simply replied, If you feed them right, theyboth win. and the story goes on:

You see, if I only choose to feed the white wolf, the black one willbe hiding around every corner waiting for me to become distractedor weak and jump to get the attention he craves. He will always beangry and always ghting the white wolf. But if I acknowledge him,he is happy and the white wolf is happy and we all win. For the blackwolf has many qualities tenacity, courage, fearlessness, strong-willed and great strategic thinking that I have need of at timesand that the white wolf lacks. But the white wolf has compassion,caring, strength and the ability to recognize what is in the bestinterest of all. You see, son, the white wolf needs the black wolfat his side. To feed only one would starve the other and they willbecome uncontrollable. To feed and care for both means they willserve you well and do nothing that is not a part of something greater,something good, something of life. Feed them both and there will beno more internal struggle for your attention. And when there is nobattle inside, you can listen to the voices of deeper knowing that willguide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance. Peace,my son, is the Cherokee mission in life. A man or a woman whohas peace inside has everything. A man or a woman who is pulledapart by the war inside him or her has nothing.

How you choose to interact with the opposing forces within youwill determine your life. Starve one or the other or guide them both.

HOW TO TURN ENDINGS INTO NEW BEGINNINGSBy Marc Chernoff

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.

When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you mustthink of a reason to start over. Theres a big difference betweengiving up and starting over in the right direction. And there arethree little words that can release you from your past regrets andguide you forward to a positive new beginning. These words are:From now on

So, from now on

1. Let the things you cant control, GO. Most things areonly a part of your life because you keep thinking about them.Positive things happen in your life when you emotionally distanceyourself from the negative things. So stop holding on to what hurts,

and make room for what feels right. Do not let what is out of yourcontrol interfere with all the things you can control.

2. Accept and embrace reality. Life is simple. Everythinghappens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly theright moment, neither too soon nor too late. For everything youlose, you gain something else; and for everything you gain, youlose something else. You dont have to like it, but its just easierif you do. So pay attention to your outlook on life. You can eitherregret or rejoice; its your choice.

3. Change your mind. Change is like breath it isnt part ofthe process, it is the process. In reality the only thing we can counton is change. And the rst step toward positive change is to changeyour outlook. Prepare for the positive. Prepare for the new. Allow

the unknown to take you to fresh and unforeseen areas in yourself.Growth is impossible without change. If you cannot change yourmind, you cannot change anything in your life. Sometimes all youneed to do is look at things from a different perspective.

4. Hold tight to the good things. When lifes struggles knockyou into a pit so deep you cant see anything but darkness, dontwaste valuable energy trying to dig your way out. Because if youhastily dig in the dark, youre likely to head in the wrong directionand only dig the pit deeper. Instead, use what energy you have toreach out and pull something good in with you. For goodness isbright; its radiance will show you which way is up, and illuminatethe correct path that will take you there.

5. Rest and regroup. Strength isnt about bearing a cross ofgrief or shame. Strength is about choosing your path, living withthe consequences, and learning from them. Sometimes you doyour best and end up with a mess. When this happens, dont bediscouraged. You tried. Thats really all you can ever do. Youhave not failed; you just learned what not to do. So rest, regroup,and begin again with what you now know.

6. Take chances. Making a big life change or trying somethingnew can be scary. But do you know whats even scarier? Regret.So realize that most of your fears are much bigger in your mindthan they are in reality; youll see this for yourself as soon as youface them. Dont let them stop you. Live your life so that you neverhave to regret the chances you never took, the love you never letin, and the gifts you never gave out.

7. Keep climbing. Every person who is at the top of themountain did not fall there from the sky. Good things come to thosewho work for them. You gain con dence and grow stronger byevery experience in which you truly push yourself to do somethingyou didnt think you could do. If you are standing in that place ofin-between, unable or unwilling to go backwards, but too afraidto move forward, remember that you cant enjoy the view withoutbeing willing to climb.

8. Appreciate what you have learned. Nothing is morebeautiful and powerful than a smile that has struggled through

the tears. Dont regret your time, even the moments that werelled with hurt. Smile because you learned from it and gained the

strength to rise above it. In the end, its not what you have beenthrough that de nes who you are; its how you got through it thathas made you the person you are today, and the person you arecapable of being tomorrow.

9. Realize every step is necessary. Nothing is ever wrong.We learn from every step we take. Whatever you did today was

a necessary step to get to tomorrow. So be proud of yourself.Maybe you are not as good as you want to be, or as great as youone day will be; but thanks to all the lessons youve learned alongthe way, you are so much better than you used to be.

A MODERN TALE FROM THE PANCHATANTRA

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used todevelop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a treeon the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling thoseprograms in the Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off thetable and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story

of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started prayingto the River Goddess.

The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared onlyafter one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that hehad lost his computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.

She showed him a match box and asked, Is this your computer?

Disappointed by the Goddess lack of computer awareness, theengineer replied, No.

LIVING AN I CAN LIFEBy Shiela

What is an I Can Life?

This kind of life is a life of unlimited potentials. Anything can

happen to you and you will feel alive as ever. Every day will bean adventure because every task leads you to new discoveries,new acquaintances and new experiences. It is living a positivelife where you see things in a different perspective. You must

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked ifthat was his.

Annoyed, the engineer said No, not at all!!

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and askedif it was his.

The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said Yes.

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about

to give him all three items, but before she could make the offer,the engineer asked her,

Dont you know that youre supposed to show me some bettercomputers before bringing up my own?

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, I know that, youstupid idiot! The rst two things I showed you were the Trillenniumand the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM! So saying, shedisappeared with the Pentium!!

Moral of the Story:

If youre not up-to-date with technology trends, it is betterkeep your mouth shut and let people think youre a fool, thanto open your mouth and remove all doubt!!!

have heard the sayings A rainbow is just a smile upside down.or There is always a silver lining behind a cloud. This is the onlyway to think and live if you truly want to be happy.

First Step: Stop Complaining

A person who complains constantly sees only the bad thingshappening around him or her. In the process, you fail to see thegood things that are happening at the same time. Remember,there is always a reason for everything. You just have to have faithand believe that something good will come out of the situation.I assure you, you will nd something good out of it always andeverytime.

Second Step: Find a Solution

When a problem arises, do not focus on the problem, whatcaused it and who is to blame. Many times we dwell on the angerand judgment on the guilty person and waste time instead of

nding a solution. Focus on nding a solution and stop statingthe problem. Once is enough to inform everyone. But once youalready know the issue, set aside the blame and anger and channelyour energies to nding a solution.

Third Step: Trust Your Capabilities

When something goes wrong, fear also gets in the way.Remember, every problem has a solution. Every task has a wayof solving itself. When you begin to lose faith in what you can do,then you are in a waydead. You are fortunate if there are peoplewho believe in you and would support you. In most cases, youare on your own and the only ones you can count on are your two

hands to help you. Whether you succeed or fail, you have to tryand give it your best shot. Remember the saying Winners neverQuit. Quitters never Win. You have to at least try.


12/16

-12-

Fourth Step: Take Risks

Try something new and see where it takes you. When life getstoo comfortable and predictable, it also gets dull and boring. Youwill feel lost and unsatis ed. It is the risks that you take in life thatwill give you be the best memories of your life. If you are offeredan interesting job that you have never experienced before, weighthe pros and cons and take a shot. If an opportunity comes andyou dont have much to lose, lose your fears and give it a try.

Fifth Step: Stay PositiveThe world has its way of making people pessimistic and

negative. The I can person is the one who is thankful for everywaking morning. He or she smiles a lot and is nice to everyone.

An I Can person sees the glass half full and not half empty. I amnot saying you should talk like a hallmark card. All I am saying ischeer up! Life is sweeter when you look at the bright side of things.

Success and happiness starts with the simple words I can!

OUR WORDS ARE SEEDS PLANTEDIN OTHER PEOPLES LIVES

(Excerpts from An Enemy Called Average by John Mason)

What we say is important. Our vocabulary should be flled withwords of hope and dreams. Be known as someone who speaks

positively.

Recently I saw a sign under a mounted large mouth bass. Itread, If I had kept my mouth shut I wouldnt be here. How true!Dont jump into trouble mouth rst.

Let me pose this question for you: Starting today what wouldhappen if you changed what you said about your biggest problem,your biggest opportunity?

I dont know if youve had this conversation or not, but lastmonth I turned to my wife, Linda, while we were sitting togetherin our family room and said, Just so you know, I never want tolive in a vegetative state dependent on some machine. If that everhappens, just pull the plug.

She immediately got up, walked over and unplugged the TV.

Our words create our worlds, says Dean Sikes. Your wordshave the power to start res or quench passion.

Dont be like the man who joined a monastery in which themonks were allowed to speak only two words every seven years.

After the rst seven years had passed, the new initiate met withthe abbot, who asked him, Well, what are your two words?

Foods bad, replied the man, who then went back to his silence.

Seven years later the clergyman asked, What are your twowords now?

Beds hard, the man responded.

Seven years later - twenty-one years after his initial entry intothe monastery - the man met with the abbot for the third and naltime. And what are your two words this time? the abbot asked.

I quit.

Well, Im not surprised, the cleric answered disgustedly. Allyouve done since you got here is complain!

Dont be like that man; dont be known as a person whose onlywords are negative. If youre a member of the negative grapevine,resign.

Contrary to what you may have heard, talk is not cheap.Talk is powerful!

7 DESTRUCTIVE HABITS OF INCOMPETENT PEOPLEBy Michael Lee

Author of How to Be an Expert Persuader (WARNING! If you want to have a fantastic life, never engage

yourself in these 7 deadly habits that incompetent people do).

Number 1 - They Think, Say, & Do Negative Things.

They see problems in every opportunity.They complain that thesun is too hot. They curse the rain for ruining their plans for the day.

They blame the wind for ruining their hair. They think that everyoneis against them. They see the problems but never the solutions.Every little bit of dif culty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy.They regard failures as catastrophes. They neither learn from theirmistakes nor move forward because theyre always afraid to comeout of their comfort zones.

Number 2 - They Act Before They Think.

They move based on instinct or impulse. If they see somethingthey like, they buy it at once without any second thought. Then theysee something better. They regret & curse for not being able to takeadvantage of the bargain. Then they spend & spend again untilnothings left. What theyre after is the pleasure they will experienceat present unmindful of the consequences.

Number 3 - They Talk Much More Than They Listen

They want to be the star of the show. So they always engage intalks that would make them heroes, even to the point of lying.

Oftentimes they are not aware that what theyre saying is notsensible anymore. When other people advise them, they close theirears because theyre too proud to admit their mistakes. In their mindtheyre always correct. They reject suggestions because that will

make them feel inferior.Number 4 - They Give Up Easily

Successful people treat failures as stepping stones to success.


15/16

-15-

Incompetent ones call it quits upon recognizing the rst signs offailure. At rst, they may be excited to start an endeavor. But thenthey lose interest fairly quickly, especially when they encounter errors.Then they go & search for a new one. Same story & same results.Incompetent people dont have the persistence to go on and ful lltheir dreams.

Number 5 - They Try to Bring Others Down To Their Level

Incompetent people envy other successful individuals. Instead of

working hard to be like them, these incompetent ones spread rumorsand try every dirty trick to bring them down. They couldve askedthese successful ones nicely. But no, theyre too proud. They dontwant to ask advise. Moreover, theyre too negative to accomplishanything.

Number 6 - They Waste Their Time

They dont know what to do next. They may just be contented oneating, getting drunk, watching TV, or worse, staring at the blank wallwith no thoughts whatsoever to improve their lives. Its perfectly neto enjoy once in a while. But time should be managed ef ciently inorder to succeed. There should be a proper balance between work& pleasure.

Number 7 - They Take the Easy Way Out

If there are two roads to choose from, incompetent people wouldchoose the wider road with less rewards than the narrower roadwith much better rewards at the end. They dont want any sufferingor hardship. What these people dont know is that what you reap iswhat you sow. Efforts & action will not go unnoticed.

If only they would be willing to sacri ce a little, they would bemuch better off. Successful people made it through trials & error.

They never give up. They are willing to do everything necessary toachieve what they aspire for in life.
