A Different Approach To Life
Most of us have been taught to hustle, work harder, try harder and keep pushing through. Where has that gotten us? Many have reported burnout or exhaustion at some point in their lives. Even for those who have great achievements and have what seems to be the perfect life, end up feeling unfulfilled. Some have begun to experience the dark night of the soul or mid-life crisis causing confusion and inner turmoil. Maybe it’s time to try a different approach to life?
No-mind Space
It’s the part of you where your mind is inactive. There are no thoughts, no dialogues, no beliefs, just complete nothingness. It’s the truth of you, the source of your intuition, and your knowing. It’s a part of you that is always there but the external and internal noise make it challenging to tap into.
Think of the sun. Fog, rain, or snow, the sun is always there behind the clouds but we just can’t see it. Same with the No-mind Space, it’s there, it’s the true essence of you, but things get in the way that you don’t notice it.
MCL (Mindful Compassionate Lifestyle)
Being mindful is when each action, word, and thought are conscious and taking responsibility for what we are thinking, saying, and doing.
Compassion is the ability to feel concern when we encounter pain and suffering, our own as well as that of others. It is accompanied by the wish to alleviate this pain and suffering, and the willingness to take responsibility for how we relate to it.
Mindful Compassionate Lifestyle is about exploring how we create suffering not only in our own minds but also in the social systems we are part of and how we can take actions to alleviate or prevent it.
Everything is interconnected.
We can start to mindfully make daily choices that are more compassionate towards not only ourselves but for others, all living forms, and the planet. This is how we can start to create a harmonious life.
How Do I Start?
The first step is to start practicing becoming consciously aware. It’s the practice of noticing your actions, thoughts, and feelings without being lost and identified in them. Through this you will see that you are the observer of your thoughts and you are not your thoughts. When you can start to identify and disassociate yourself from the mind activities is when you start to notice change.
