STOP THE CAR. GET OUT. LOOK AROUND

The human brain is more powerful than the most advanced supercomputer created to date. But get this – it does not come with an instruction manual. We have to work out how it operates by ourselves.

Meditation and mindfulness are like keys that help us unlock our brains so we can access the instruction manual and start to learn to live our best life in the short time we have.

Think of your life as a car journey. We are all in our own cars traveling along the road of life. The car forms a bubble around us and each day we have over 50,000 thoughts racing through our minds whilst in the car, the majority of which are worries about the past or anxiety about something that has not yet happened!

We are living in our minds, lost in thought, distant from our bodies, missing out on the parts of our life we really cherish. From the basic things like the sound of wind in the trees to the needs of a loved one.

We have no idea of what is really happening outside of the car, along the road and the landscape we are speedily passing through.

If our habit is to be on our way somewhere else, we miss out on whatever’s in front of us.

You can use mindfulness not only to cherish what’s happening around you now but also to change your beliefs about anything! When I stopped drinking, almost 800 days ago, I realised very early on that I needed to address all my fears, everything that was holding me back. I simply could not have done it without meditation and mindfulness.

By mediating you zone into the now. When you are in the now you can train the voice in your head to behave like a scout and look objectively at what it is you want to change and slowly but surely talk to you on a sub conscious level, where change happens.

My book Walking Back To Happiness The Secret To Alcohol-free Living & Well-being shows you how I found happiness and well-being through mindfulness and meditation and how you can to.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE…

Step 1 – Stop the car. Get out. Look around. Be present.

Step 2 – I recently completed the 40-Day Mindfulness Daily – online training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, who run the Radical Compassion Institute. I 100% recommend this course and have built it into my coaching practice. It’s 15 minutes per day for 40 days. This will help you stop your car. See www.tarabrach.com
