As a Life Coach (in Johannesburg), I am continuously practising consciousness which is also known as mindfulness and is a method to use more of your brain to step up in life. It’s also an empowering way to manage your life with direction and clarity for a higher emotional intelligence.
Studies show that 95% of the brain is being used unconsciously. This means for you that you are doing, being, and responding in programmed ways related to your:
- belief systems,
- cultural beliefs
- values,
- habits,
- strategies
To change this, you would have to practise using more of your conscious brain. This is done through:
- Being more mindful of your thoughts and how you respond to them
- Mindful of your environment, what you take on from the external world, and the mindfulness to let go of what doesn’t serve you
- Mindful through meditation and learning to quiet the mind.
Did you know you are not in control of your life if your mind is so busy that you cannot keep it quiet? The stillness of the mind (mindfulness) is the key to stop overthinking and overanalysing. The more you overthink and overanalyse, the busier your mind becomes over days, months and years to come.
Eventually, your mind is so busy that you can’t think clearly, you have no direction, and you can’t sleep.
My overthinking and overanalysing caused me much grief and hardship. It was like an overactive child that I could not manage. Jumping from one thought to another. Then creating emotions and unnecessary feelings of anger, hurt, sadness, fear and doubt. All of which reduced my self-esteem.
What are you without your brain?
You need your brain to be physically fit, to be authentic to yourself, well-nutrition, have good family relationships, to be socially connected, to have financial well-being, have the knowledge, and to be spiritually connected. It is also imperative to know your values in each of these areas, as they will guide you along your path of reduced struggle. A brain that is still and mindful is in control of all the areas mentioned above. It is more able to manage each area with love, care, acceptance, peace and forgiveness.
The above value areas mentioned along with mindfulness, are areas I focus on, as a Life Coach (In Johannesburg). My life was transformed for the better and so can your life transform for the better. You too can have, more peace of mind through practising mindfulness and stillness. You can have more loving relationships, direction, clarity and the opportunity to live a fulfilled life. Additionally, you will have your values aligned to what is most important to you instead of living an unconscious life.
