“Zen is simply the art of self-awareness. It does not dictate what you should feel or believe in; how you should be or what you should do…only that you should be conscious of your experience, fully immersed in it.” - ― Brianna Wiest, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think
Life is made up of unique and cherishing moments. In a world filled with distractions and constant busyness, embracing life's moments becomes a challenging practice. The challenge is our mind tends to wander. It revisits the past. It explores and plans for the future. Buddhism refers to the unconstrained state of mind as the "monkey mind," where the mind is like a tiny monkey running amok and creating noise. In this state, we cannot experience true reality.
We need to spend effort to embrace and celebrate life's moments.From pausing for a tea break to engaging in mindful activities, these seemingly small actions can profoundly impact our lives and accomplish our well-being and happiness. These intentionally created experiences are present to unlock the potential for greater happiness and fulfillment.
As we take a moment to pause, breathe deeply, and savor the beauty of each passing moment, we quiet our minds and bring back focus when we are fully at present. Life is not just about reaching our destination but the magic we can discover in each step of the journey.
