Living in awareness is an opportunity to realize the maximum of your abilities. A conscious person moves according to his inner sensation, realizing the best path of development. But the state is achieved gradually, and there are ways to help achieve this.
Instructions
Step 1
Awareness is understanding what is happening on a deeper level. This is an opportunity to see not only superficial events, but also the internal mechanisms that create these circumstances. And here it is important not to study the structure of the world, but to understand yourself. A person himself creates the circumstances of his life, and knowing how he does it, you can change your life.
Step 2
Mindfulness is not a mechanical adherence to a situation, not a repetition of behavior that was used before, but a choice of actions. A conscious person can choose what to do in the circumstances. Unconscious is always predictable, he lives according to certain algorithms that are easy to calculate.
Step 3
The main thing in awareness is understanding your motives. Therefore, attention must be directed not to the events around, but to your feelings. One has only to answer a few questions, and everything will become clearer:
- Why am I doing this?
- How do I feel in this situation?
- What do I want from what is happening? How do I see the best and worst outcome?
- How have I always done in similar circumstances?
Step 4
After you have asked yourself the questions, the answers have been received, you can think about the behavior of others. Again, you need to ask a couple of questions:
- Why does a person behave like that?
- What does he want to achieve? Does he understand his own goals?
Step 5
Mindfulness is expanding your own reactions. When there are answers, it becomes clearer what is in control of the situation. And it turns out to choose your own path of action, different from the usual. You can first analyze events after they have occurred. And the questions will take a few minutes. But then the term will be reduced. As a result, they will be asked in the interval between the event and the reaction. All questions need no more than 3 seconds, but in order to keep up, you need to train.
Step 6
To be aware of yourself in any circumstances, even in emergency and critical situations, you must first learn to do this in calm conditions. Therefore, questions should be asked as often as possible. Even while walking, shopping in the store, at work, it is important to understand your desires, goals and aspirations.
Step 7
To become conscious yourself, it is worth observing others. Pay attention to the repetitive behavior of people. Most of their actions are predictable, and once you see it, the level of awareness rises immediately.
Step 8
Mindfulness is shifting your attention from the outside to the inside. It is important to always look at what is happening inside and outside at the same time. And the habit of this look will help change your life.
