If you are lost in your mind, you are not here.
If you are not here, then where are you? You are not here, that's for sure.
It's not much use not being here is it. And spending time thinking, or worrying about the past is such waste of time.
Spending time projecting into the future, is also a waste of time.
If you need help becoming more present, do some thing that will help you do that.
Yoga helps.
Breathe deeply with your eyes closed. Get a rhythm going with the breath. Focus on that rhythm and detach yourself from thinking. Keep doing it. The thoughts may appear to get stronger and more demanding. This is what the ego does. It needs you to survive. When you get away from it, it will become cunning and powerful
I know it sounds as if I am talking about the ego as an alien entity, but if you look at it in an open hearted way, that is exactly what it is.
Of course it is useful to think intelligently and consciously sometimes. But allowing the mind to dominate us, allowing it to jabber away endlessly, is pointless and a complete waste of energy.
By becoming aware that you are thinking, you are slowly waking yourself up.
You can do this anytime and anywhere.
Be awake, or carry on sleeping, it's up to you - isn't it?
