The deeper we work

The deeper we work, as in focused undistracted work that really matters and is of high value (so not WhatsApping, emailing or clicking on bait) the better we become at it and the greater the value of the work is and the more rewarding it is to us. 

We get into a state of ‘flow’ where the real soulful essence of our true self is being manifested via the amazingly creative tool that is our mind into something real and meaningful.

We are all creative, as we are all creators. That is our purpose in life to create not to consume.

When we take time to focus on one thing and one thing only in a distraction-free environment where we can totally commit to concentrating on our work then what flows from us is unstoppable, we are so in the moment and the joy of doing in a conscious state that we are freed from the restrictions and sabotage of the thinking mind. When we are simply being and working deeply we are allowing our true creative self to flow out from our soul and we are able to create our very best work that enriches us and the world.

Making something

When we create something tangible, real, an object, art, a sculpture, making food, a cake, something from wood or metal, whatever that is…there is a real connection with the object and process. As humans we love to have that connection, however, in a mainly digital world, we are no longer crafting anything by hand.

When we work on a screen, the mind is active, the brain is constantly stimulated and when we are online, then there are endless distractions. However, when we do something manual and physical, the mind is quiet and we are in the moment enjoying the doing, we are concentrating and then we are at peace within.

Making something real is also creating a real life, this moment experience and that is the essence of life.

Go and build or make something and see how it brings joy.
