How To Practice Mindfulness
There are right mindfulness and wrong mindfulness.
Mindfulness refers to the mind power which is fully aware of oneself and one’s surroundings. It is a mechanism that works like hands and feet, sometimes serving as the mind’s weapon. When someone lacks full awarness or even mental clarity, he or she is not able to complete a good task.
The modern lifestyle we’re living now is everything but conducive to mindfulness. A lot of people don’t even know that they have a shorter attention span and weaker life force.
What is life force?
It is the power of thinking, making decisions, and taking action. Life force renders that person the power of deliberation, determination, energy, as well as enthusiasm. Without life force, humans will just live an aimless life,. They will easily give up in the face of obstacle and lack courage to achieve a life goal.
Do remember there are right mindfulness and wrong mindfulness. Right mindfulness is an awareness that you’re doing a good, lawful thing without harming or hurting anyone. Wrong mindfulness is an awareness that what you’re doing is bad, harmful or hurtful to others, and against the law.
The less the focus, the less the life force. Lack of mental clarity leads to wrong decision makings,
indecisiveness, weak resolve, little zest for life. To develop strong life force and a balanced life, there is one simple rule: Focus.
These are the step-by-step guide to mindfulness practice.
