Does your mind keep wandering? Do you find it hard to concentrate? Do you get easily stressed or confused? In all of these cases, you would benefit from becoming more mindful, more present in the moment. Combining the essence of spiritual practice with ideas from neuroscience and practical experience gained in the workplace serves to highlight the benefits of mindfulness.
Do you feel part of the world around you? Do you feel that you are a human being like everybody else? Or do you feel isolated, separate? There are certainly times when I feel very much on my own, that no-one understands me. But then, eventually, it will dawn on me that I’m probably just as guilty of not understanding . . . and that I could, actually, make a bit more of an effort to understand.
In our 24-7-365 world it can be hard not to want everything now . . . or sooner. Everybody seem to be rushed off their feet . . . except those who find that times drags terribly! How can time be so changeable? Maybe it is not time, but us: maybe the time has come to reflect on the nature of time and to rethink our relationship with it.
