15 THING I'VE LEARNT NO.10
Dear
Continuing the series from my previous
newsletter here is the next instalment of 15 things I've learnt about human
beings and success in 3,500 hours. No. 10 is "
Learning to be present ensures your life is richer.". You can read the previous 9 things I've learnt in the archives.
Learning to be Present Ensures your Life is
Richer
A relative newcomer to
personal development is the concept of 'being present', sometimes called
'living in the moment'. Once you
discover how to do this, your life will take on a richer, fuller experience
because your consciousness has expanded, even awakened. You actually get more out of life.
How Much of Your Life is
Habit?
Consider this for a moment.
When you get up in the morning, when do you become conscious? You may say, 'well as soon as I wake up'. You might be
awake but are you consciously aware. You
probably go through a series of rituals like showering, dressing, eating,
leaving for work, driving or catching public transport and everything you do
has become habitual. How often have you
driven your car kilometres, only to realise 30 minutes later, you were not
consciously driving as your mind was somewhere else?
You can be with your partner,
children or friends but not be there. An affirmation you put on a wall initially
was something you noticed every time you saw it but after several weeks your
brain no longer prompts you to acknowledge it as it has blended into the
background. There is an automatic cutting out that occurs in the brain.
Living on Autopilot
We live a great deal of our
lives on autopilot. This can be a very
useful tool because if you were aware of all that was happening and taking in
every stimulus around you your brain would probably blow a fuse from overload. It is very useful to disconnect the autopilot
though (one of the things we do in coaching). If you don't learn how to do this you'll find
you miss out on life and only live in survival mode or live habitually.
Being Present - an Experience
When I was living in Pyrmont
and walked across Darling
Harbour Bridge
to the city everyday, I made a practice of 'being present'. I'd take in
everything around me, awe at the amazing buildings towering in front of me,
smelt the sea air, felt the warmth of the sun on my face, watched the seagulls
hovering in the breezes above me, listened to the irregular footsteps made by
the many people bustling off to work. As
I walked, I tried to take in every bit of stimulus around me and began thanking
the universe for all the blessings I had in my life.
For ten minutes or so, I was
present and discovered how those few moments had a positive impact on my
day. Most people crossing the bridge
were miles away, already thinking about the stresses of the day ahead or
carrying the concerns of yesterday. Not me! I was having a great time.
How?
It's about pausing. Thinking
reflectively. Breathing deeply. Becoming aware of the stimulus of all your
senses. Listening intently. It's about
being totally conscious.Try it.
DON'T LET REGRET OF THE PAST
OF FEAR OF THE FUTURE, ROB YOU OF YOUR PRESENT

etc. We are happiest when our life is balanced.
