Heaven Is Ruled By Good Care
Many people who come for consultation often wonder when they started to no longer enjoy the things they enjoyed before, why they have become mere spectators of their suffering or instability. Our answer to these questions is that in life the circumstances that we are looking at occupy our attention.
They make us look and grow in this direction. It doesn’t really matter whether we are clever or clumsy. The only important thing is to be careful, to be calm and to sharpen your ear.
Choosing what we pay attention to is the basis on which we fortify our pyramid. Paradoxically, it is also one of the great forgotten ones, since we spend half of our life on autopilot. Our environment demands a lot of attention, but we will see little if we do not know how to focus our attention properly.
There is no point in spending the day remembering what mortifies us. By doing so, we are only diverting our attention to an idea or a situation that is not present. It is of little use to focus our attention on what we think is going to happen. Even if this happens, it won’t be as we imagine it to be. So, wouldn’t it be better to pay attention to what concerns us and what we can act on? Wouldn’t it be healthier to use our resources on something that’s present and not waste them on assumptions or ideas?
It is well known that our brains are responsible for sending us 50,000 automatic and repetitive thoughts per day. “ The brain is still working, even when you are sitting doing nothing, and we can teach it to act in our best interest, ” said theoretical physicist Jyri Kuusela, who works for the European Space Agency (ESA) and promotes the implementation of “neurofeedback” in Spain.
According to Elsa Punset, social intelligence guru: “ W e have to train our brains to be positive ”. If we know, why don’t we take action? To reprogram our brain, we have to start working on attention, or rather, working on the right attention.
Do not look back with anger, nor ahead with fear, but look around you
Doing one thing at a time means being total in what you do. Focus all of your attention on one item. This action connects our attention to places where it is truly useful and beneficial for our body and mind.
The opposite is to work on autopilot, not being aware of what we are doing while we are doing it. Disconnect from the present by performing routine activities while walking around another place and time.
The benefits of working on mindfulness in the present are numerous, as several studies show. Training the mind to stay in the present moment without changing anything, with an attitude of openness and acceptance of reality as it is, causes significant structural and functional changes in the brain. And this in areas associated with well-being and happiness.
Sometimes we pay too much attention to what’s wrong
If you want people to pay attention to what you are saying, you shouldn’t raise your voice, but lower it. This is what really catches the eye. Sometimes we may not be drawn to what is best for us, but to what we don’t know.
One of the things we all need to work on is how to focus our attention on what is most useful and / or best for us. We must not get lost in unrealistic struggles. Or get lost in our thoughts as we let life slip away.
The doors of perception are open to all. In a world where education is mostly verbal, people cannot give serious attention to anything other than words and notions.
Having our attention helps keep issues like anxiety and depression at bay, which take over our minds when we have the past, the uncertain and / or the outside.
Our thoughts negative and returns them for no particular purpose. This last example corresponds to what happens to people with an attenuated cognitive syndrome …
