The Magical word: STOP

 Today I thought I was just a millisecond away from knowing not only in my belly, but in my mind that I create my own reality.

Well, I am sure the breakthrough will come fast.

And here is a thing I tried and got big results with: I stood in the shower, being determined to stay in this moment. In the Now. Not in the future, not in the past, in the Now.
And I decided to always use the word Stop, whenever I realized that my mind had wandered of to the past or the future.
You cannot imagine how often I had to say Stop in my mind at first: At least all five seconds! But the more I stopped myself and the more I concentrated on the water on my skin, the feeling of my hair brushing my back and the soap, the lights, the smell of the shampoo, the less I had to use the word Stop.
But I will definitely keep it in mind (*g*) to use whenever I realize that I am too far in the future or past.

Have a great day!

Present

What a great process. I will definitely try this. I can see how when you first begin, you would constantly be saying "stop." But once you are present...which is really all that is...how amazing!

 

Thanks for sharing this.

 

Your friend,

Stop

Great idea! To focus on being now is such a challenge what with this , that and everything else. Sooner or later, there is no this, that or anything else, just Now!

Cool

How do you say "Stop" in German? I bet it sounds even more imposing than in English. I'd probably listen to myself more if I yelled at myself in German. Smile

*lol*

Stop in german is pronounced "Shtop" *g*

stop

Well not quite as different as I anticipated, but still has that Germanic ring to it, which is difficult to defy!

 

"SHTOP! SCHNELL!"
