RE: Psychology Addict # 28 | Mindfulness - Acceptance, Awareness & Being Present

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Well, they say that Mindfulness can be the golden key to happiness, and it's already a subject at Havard. It is the fundamental task that the human being can undertake, a state of consciousness that would end in good part with the dissatisfaction and superficiality in which the vast majority of societies live. It is how to take possession of ourselves and usually, we tend to live with the "autopilot". Living a moment of pain (physical or psychological) is always bearable from the present. It is the idea of a future full of pain that makes this experience more painful. If we remain in the present, the memory of lived pain and the anticipation of the imagined pain, will cease to have an influence on my current experience and the suffering, whether physical or emotional, will be reduced accordingly. When I am conscious I feel everything more fully. I am happier and more connected to others. I also experience sadness and pain fully, but in a different way.


Since I decided to change my life, I have gotten myself into these things, they are so interesting and transforming.
It was like going on a trip, actually when I do this I feel an incredible peace ..
I learned to accept things as they were so as not to live stressed or without judging if they were correct or not.


Right now I study education and I have a psychology teacher who reminds me a lot of you. One day in classes, he asked us, Who are you? A very deep topic, with much respect one day I could talk about it, it's very interesting!

Dear @cthkrn, it is important to remember that mindfulness is anything but a 'pathway' or 'key' to happiness. It is actually a means to embrace and accept the inevitable suffering of live in a a less struggling fashion! :)

I am very impressed with your way of facing life! Only very few people have achieved that sort of mental well-being where they can accept things without battling against them and, therefore, live without stress. It looks like you have a beautiful future ahead. You could also enlighten many people about how to achieve this!

All the best for you :)

That's right my dear Abigail!
Amen, so be!
it's what I want and what I fight for! And of course, I am trying very hard for people to transform their lives, I am starting with mine, and I am seeing positive results ..
The best for you and yours, happy weekend!
