It’s real life

‘Old Father Thames’ by Philip Dodson

Take a moment, right now, this very instance and breathe, in slowly and out slowly. Notice your belly expand and contract as you take each breath. Breath in and out for maybe a minute or 5, it doesn’t matter, it only matters that you are aware of your breathing.

Sit still and listen, notice the background sounds like a ticking clock or birds tweeting, notice the smells, see without labelling it, just look.

Take this moment and repeat this for a few minutes and then notice what’s changed. Of course, if you feel more peaceful and calm, then you could choose to repeat this more often, in fact, as much as you can.

Consciousness is real life as it is only found in this moment, we can not be it in the past or the future, they are just fantasies of our minds

What if?

What if you don’t continue?

What if you quit?

What if you leave?

What if you don’t say it?

What if? What if? What if?

We fear to do what we feel because we fear the consequences. Yet the consequences of our actions only happen after we have done them and therefore what we fear is the psychological fear that is just a creation of our mind and its projection into the fantasy that is the future.

Never fear what if, just do what you feel always and in the moment. When consequences unfold, we can deal with them, in that moment.
