Improving Your Life In The Complicated World

There has been a huge tool that has come my way and right now I’m going to pass it on to you. As is always the case in the big picture, something very simple is behind amazing results. It’s so simple that normally we can’t help but ignore it. The time has come to see this overlooked truth and bring it back out of the archives. Once, as a child we knew this and it was easy to get. As time went on it got farther from our consciousness with each passing day. It is our natural state. Being in this place is being who we really are, and therefore our conscious mind and subconscious mind are no longer in conflict. They are able to work together in concert to bring about the most effective improvement we could ever hope for.

There are simple techniques that are fun to deploy into your arsenal of life improving methods. One of the easiest is this. Simply focus your attention or your awareness, on your breathing. It’s easy to do. Just takes a second and very little effort. Try it. There you are. During the time that your awareness is on your breathing you have entered the present moment zone of the real you. The real reality . For that period of time you have left the thinking mind zone. The not real you. Not reality. It’s easy and it doesn’t hurt a bit. In fact when you have thoughts that bring you pain or discomfort, just focus your awareness on your breathing and the painful thoughts leave you immediately. With this you can stop negative thoughts in their tracks before they get a chance to do their dirty work on your consciousness.

What a great tool it is to be able to leave fear and pain and ugliness in the dust and get on with being your real self. It feels good in a very natural way. Very calming and comfortable. Being present in the existing moment is our natural state. Living in an awareness outside of the present moment is unnatural and therefore uncomfortable. It requires a lot of effort to deal with the stress of being outside your natural state. Much of what we think and do is in an effort to deal with what comes from being outside of the present experience.

Focusing on your breathing is a great place to start. When you combine this with a few other simple techniques, there will be no stopping your ability to shift your consciousness into the present moment zone. This shift in awareness is the most powerful tool there is to being able to attract the improvements into your life that will work best for you. It happens faster and with more accuracy in a very natural way.

One of the biggest obstacles that can block your efforts at improving your life, is the thoughts that plow through your head. They can come out of no where and in most cases serve no purpose other than to distract and complicate your experience in reality. Instead of being with your true self and enjoying every moment, you are occupied with addressing the thoughts and working through them. It seems as if there is a purpose for going down the random thought paths that come along. You feel compelled to entertain the absurd notions that enter your head. In fact these thoughts are not important. These thoughts are not you. The real you lies behind the thoughts in your head and you can put the thinking mind in it’s place and exist where your natural self is.

This simple technique of bringing your awareness to your breathing seems like a subtle shift in your consciousness but as you use it more and more you will get to see how powerful it is. Try it when an ugly thought enters your head. Immediately you’re brought into the present moment and the thinking is cut off dead in it’s tracks. I find that the thoughts are totally gone and don’t come back even though a moment before it was in the front of my mind. It’s wonderful to have such control over your thinking. This is power. Plus you get the added bonus of relaxing in the always enjoyable present moment. Lots of birds are got with this one little stone.

Focusing on your breathing is normally considered a meditation or relaxation technique. In this application it’s many times more beneficial in improving yourself and your life. This becomes a wand that you can wave to instantly transport yourself out of the complicated unreal world. It is your portal, gateway, entrance, door or whatever you want to call it. This allows you to step out of the stress and discomfort that comes from being away from yourself in the present moment.

Try it the next time you feel stress and see how the stress instantly diminishes. Focus your attention on your breathing and look around you. The world you are use to seeing becomes more beautiful. More new and fresh to your senses. See how your perception of yourself changes. How nice it is to be able to walk through that door whenever you want and find yourself.

There you are.
