RE: What Does it MEAN to Live With Consciousness and Mindfulness?

in WORLD OF XPILAR22 days ago

A lot of that, to be quite honest, ends up coming across as being more like a toxic form of entitlement and self-involvement.

Yes, under the guise of something else entirely.

It does indeed require more effort to live a life more mindfully, whether it is internally, externally or both - and unlikely that most of us will ever truly "master" it in as many facets or aspects as we may like because as you said - our lifestyles don't really allow for it... or rather - they don't make it very easy.

I think that the internal focus of living in such a way should be our first stop because that is where the shift in mindset will occur. If we dive straight into the "outward" aspects... it may not genuinely resonate with us, which in a sense could make the whole thing a little shallow feeling - even reaching the point of abandoning it because it is not really in sync with our inner selves.

Though having said this - I can only really speak for myself... and I am definitely still doing a lot of the "internal stuff", but I will say and have definitely noted that as I put more focus and time into this... the other side of the coin begins to come almost naturally, so it (in my case anyway) isn't so much about finding or making the time to "live and do" in a certain way - it just IS that way and I find myself being a lot more accepting of that - and the fact that if I want my presence here to have a certain outcome and impact... then that adaptation to change becomes the norm rather than the exception.

Slower living in a nutshell haha! - Gives us time to think, to breathe, to process, absorb and then move forward with intention or physical action in "better ways".

I don't know if anything I have said will even make sense to anyone else who reads it haha... :D but its the though that counts right?! :P
