This is a wonderful ebook I lately learn by Matt Tenney. The title, and the message of the ebook, are harking back to Thich Nhat Hanh’s traditional The Miracle of Mindfulness. The magic, or miracle, occurs if you spend extra of your time paying 100% consideration to what you might be presently doing. This make you spend much less time worrying concerning the future or reliving painful moments from the previous, and extra time within the current. That is one thing I’ve been engaged on for a while however it’s admittedly troublesome to do frequently.
This ebook gave me motivation to attempt more durable. There’s a tremendous story originally the place Matt found this. He had made a nasty error in judgement which led him to a really distressing place (he tried to commit fraud and ended up in jail). After a few years there he seen that as an alternative of ruminating about how dangerous his scenario was, if he simply paid full consideration whereas brushing his enamel he felt so much higher. The identical factor occurred whereas strolling or doing different routine actions. He determined to attempt do that on a regular basis, and basically re-framed being in jail nearly to being on a protracted retreat. He has spent his life since then serving others and making an attempt to move on this message.
So can these of us whose each day life is just not as dangerous as being in jail do the identical transformation? It’s price a attempt!
