"The Power of Now II" - How to break out of the prison of fixed thinking

? ? I mentioned in the article yesterday that if you want to be in the present moment, enter a world of tranquility, freedom, and peace, and reap joy.

One of the things we need to do is break through the cage of fixed thinking.

How to break out of this cage?

The following are two small methods I summarized after reading "The Power of Now II" by Eckhart Tolle, and I would like to share them with you now: 1. Learn to despise your thoughts. Our brains are always in a state of "dissatisfaction"

” state, so he is always eager to get more, and all kinds of thoughts flash through him every moment.

And every thought pretends to be so important because it wants your full attention.

When you are immersed in obsessive thoughts and cannot extricate yourself, you are avoiding your present existence.

For example, people are always thinking about the past and worrying about the future, but ignore the present that they should enjoy most.

Therefore, our top priority is not to completely identify with your thoughts and not to be controlled by your thoughts.

Otherwise, it will occupy all your attention, leaving you with no extra attention to be aware of the present moment and awaken your soul. As mentioned in the book, "The awakening of the soul is to wake up from the dream of thinking."

2. Pay attention to the moments of "observation without thinking". In fact, we are often in the present moment, but we never notice it coming.

For example, when you are seriously doing some manual work, exercising in the gym, listening to others, waiting eagerly for your friends in the cafe, or staring into the distance, then you are completely present in the present moment, in your mind.

His thoughts had long since fallen silent, replaced by a sober sense of existence.

Your heart is calm and happy at this time.
