Helping others become even better versions of themselves
If you want to start a practice of switching your mind and the constant mind stream off and enjoying a peaceful moment or moments, then I can recommend building or creating with your hands.
Then simply putting all your focus into that and the moment and what you are doing.
Then peace comes and joy during and at the end of what you have done.
Simple things bring all we need.
When we become the reaction, we lose control, we become the ego, the mind, the emotion and nothing goes well.
However, not being the reaction means undoing a lifetime of conditioning, it means stepping away from the mind, it means being different and it requires consciousness. Not easy.
We all need to learn patience with ourselves and others, becoming the real you and me takes time.
