Our lives continue driving the same roads to go to school, to the gym, to the store, to work, the school you take your children. By the age of 30, you are living every day, the same life you had yesterday. Imagine you in the car.
Your subconscious is the driver, and your conscious is the passenger. 95% of the day your subconscious is driving the vehicle and 5% of the day you go to the front to steer the car. Without the awareness that you spends all of your life been the passenger of your car or your life.
Without noticing, we start to live a life in autopilot mode. Every day we do the same things, and we think the same thoughts as the day before, those thoughts and actions are probably the same as the week, month, or year before. It is easy to predict that the last five years you had the same thinking.
If you don’t become aware of this, you will think, act, and feel the same for the next five years. What will happen to your body if those are negative thoughts? What will happen to you if you have addictions?
Becoming aware, Staying Present
Always remember how the brain functions: The cells that fire together, wire together, creating a long term relationship. If you continuously get angry, you are rewiring and re-ingraining that neuro-net in the brain. So that long term relationship snowballs into an incredibly intense anger, long-lasting, and frequent, wrecking people’s lives.
On the other hand, what no fire together doesn’t wire together, so they lose that relationship every time we interrupt a thought, we interrupt that relationship. We interrupt that wiring. How we interrupt that relationship? By being present, we observe and stop the wiring.
When you meditate, you are firing and wiring those connections. Those peaceful sensations, the same way, that the anger escalates in a snowball. The feelings of peacefulness, calmness expands becoming those feel-good emotions, peace, and tranquillity.
