Something you can do for 3 minutes a day that will add years to your life

A life on autopilot.

This is what will all do.

99% of what we do, say etc is all unconscious habitual behaviour. We perhaps only experience 1% of our existence/life consciously aware of the real life moment that is now.

The rest we spend in our heads, in our mind. Often suffering psychological fear from our projections into the fantasy that is the future.

Imagine if we became more conscious for just another 5% of our life?

That would equate to 1,496 days or 4.1 years based on an average life expectancy of 82 years.

4 years of being conscious, 4 years of seeing, feeling, experiencing and just being awake in this moment now. Actually experiencing real life rather than stuck in unconscious thoughts and habitual behaviours.

Imagine how life could change radically.

We have one existence in this current physical carnation, beyond that no one knows. Why not spend as much of it as possible being aware and actually in this moment enjoying real life.

That’s 5% less screen time, 5% less thinking of past and future, 5% less of autopilot and so on. Just a small change on a daily basis.

On a daily basis that’s just 3 minutes of consciousness an hour that will give us 4 years extra of real life ‘now’ moment conscious experience.

Also, 4 years less of suffering from our mind and its endless repeating thought patterns.

3 minutes a day for an extra four years of life.

Or we could add more each day, step by step to a more conscious existence. As always it’s our choice.

Mind the gap

The mind doesn’t like gaps. It needs a beginning, middle and end. If it doesn’t have it and doesn’t know the answer then it fills in the gaps.

It never fills in the gaps with positive stuff, it fills in the blanks with negative things based on the stories and judgments it’s already made up about others and situations.

Rather than actually finding out by asking another person or actually researching a specific situation, the mind makes up the story.

Then from this fantasy story made up in our heads we act and react stuck in our unconscious mind patterns.

Ask others, be curious and stay away from the repeating thoughts. The more present we are in this moment, the less our mind is filling in the blanks. The less we suffer from our own stories based on nothing.

Stay aware and mind the gap.
