Mindfulness is the awareness we gain when we focus our attention on our inner sensations and emotions, or toward our immediate environment. But more than this, mindfulness is about changing our mindset ..
In other words, we are our own happiness. As the Bhagavad Gita says, a person who is happy has “achieved the self” .. authentically being yourself brings joy.
Instead of accepting life as it is, we are guilty of engaging with life through the lens of our own, subjective standards, beliefs, hopes, and expectations. When life doesn’t meet these standards, we feel sorrow and suffer.
Many times, a simple Pause can bring our mind back to the current situation ..
*When thoughts start a race
Scattering in directions many ways
Completely ruining every moment of your dayspause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain awayWhen anger takes over sanity
Cooking insane ideas to help vanity
Your talk utters nothing but profanitypause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain awayWhen grief engulfs immensely
Leaving you burned and hurt profusely
Time stays longer, making decisions difficult positivelypause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain awayWhen eyes cry and tire
Leaving you searching for the sunshine in the mire
The only hope seems far away to admirepause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain awayWhen happiness strongly envelopes life
Joy permeates in every strife
Life remains ridiculously simple like cutting with a sharp knifepause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain awayWhen mind is in the idle shelf
wandering in treacherous land with no help
Looking to add red spice to its mundane selfpause
Take a deep breathe
Feel it go in and out
See it take the pain away*
