Today is a beautiful sunny NEW day. I am going to make it a nice day. I will try to focus on the things that make me feel well, and I will do the ones I do not like so much with love so the experience become a positive one. We have the power to transform anything in life from bad to good. It is up to us to do it. The earthly activity that helps me to keep focus on the good is the way I eat: a vegan, mostly raw foods.
This morning I tried something new: I woke up earlier than usual with the idea of going to spinning. As I was already up and dressed for the gym I realized I was not ready for a noisy and aggressive activity in a dark room. The morning was beautiful and the sun was coming up. Instead I sat down to practice meditation. I decided to follow a mantra I created that resonated with me and sat still for about 20 minutes. Honestly this is the first time I do it in probably 2 years. Besides having a good moment (hahaha I did not go to nirvana yet), I realized that by having a mantra in your mind you can come back to it every time your mind wonders so you are back on track. It is easier for the brain to focus on nothing, just the repetition of the mantra until one day hopefully I will not need it anymore and meditation will be in my unconscious competent level. I compare it to having food habits. At the beginning I had to pay attention and have more discipline when choosing what to eat and what not to eat. Then slowly it became a part of me. I do not think anymore about whether to eat or not certain foods. It comes by itself. Also if I were to "fall off track" because of life situations I would know where to come back simply because it makes me feel good to eat this way.
A food coach to transition to a vegan raw lifestyle might be needed until one can do it alone, the same as a mantra is needed for meditation until we can let it go.
Have a Happy Living Day!!
