Mindfulness: Achieving Calmness

Part 2 of a 10 Part Series.

How do you achieve calmness?

You can achieve calmness with practice and control.

Practice and control in stillness, temporarily abandoning how you feel.

To calm down is to back away from the overwhelming feeling

in response to conditions or situations you are in.

To calm down in anger.

To calm down the excitement.

To calm down the fear.

To calm down the anxiety.

To calm down from the overwhelming feeling and begin to relax.

It's not calmness. It's not relaxing. It's just stillness.

To be completely still and in tune with yourself.

To be completely still and in tune with nature.

To be completely still and in tune with God- Your Creator.

To be still is to surrender completely.

To be mindful, is to be aware and in tune with everything and everybody.

To be mindful is being careful and intentional.

Remember every breath work, every prayer (or chant?), every heart beat, is in tune and beats to the same rhythmic vibration to the One- the Almighty Creator.

Everything and everyone has it's own unique frequency, enjoining to the Creator in a rhythmic vibrational energy, beating in oneness to the ultimate One- the Almighty Creator.

It's when you completely surrender to God, it's when you feel humility, you'll feel calm and at peace. You are one of the created beings, realizing no matter how big the universe is, you can still be in tune to your Creator. Such boundless love and mercy.

This is a light- hearted take on life, not an in-depth discussion, and certainly it's not meant to ridicule other people's perspective. I've come out from the deepest end in life and I know what it feels like to be in bad situations.

My Chaotic Mess

My Chaotic Mess When I first began exploring mindfulness, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Life had become a series of unfortunate events, each one piling on top of the last, creating an unmanageable weight. From the trauma of an assault that led to a forced abortion to the heartbreak of a four-year relationship that never led to marriage, I felt like I was constantly spiraling. The weight of a marriage that ultimately fell apart, losing custody of my children, struggling with mental health, and battling through health and work-related endurance issues—everything felt overwhelming. During these times, I found myself in need of tools—tools to help me manage, to cope, and to regain some control back. Mindfulness became one of the most invaluable practices I embraced. And through my journey, I discovered several resources that provided tangible relief: therapy, self-help groups, psychotherapy, counseling, and, yes, mindfulness tools. A Personal Journey Through Pain and Healing My pat...

Mindfulness: Find Your Purpose

Part 6 of a 10 Part Series Finding Your Purpose. Many people struggle with finding their purpose. We struggle in finding the value of what we are doing. We question ourselves, why am I even doing this? Finding your purpose in life is way bigger than that. If you struggle to see the value of what you are doing, you get stuck in the situation and you feel hopeless. You are constantly dragging yourself, forcing yourself to face the situation you are in. I hate my job. Life is bigger than this. Why am I even here? Right? You have to feed yourself, you need shelter, you need clothing and you live in a community of sorts. You can get a job or you can run off somewhere that you can grow your food, weave your cloth and build your own house. Having a job is of value so you can get your necessities. Finding your purpose? What's your purpose, your true calling? Your job is not your life's purpose, it's just a valuable set of skills to be able to get your necessities. It doesn't de...

Mindfulness: Finding Your Voice

Part 5 of a 10 Part Series. My mind tripped while attempting to write this. Finding your voice in the digital world is like talking out loud but no one is listening. There are common digital spaces where you can have common conversations and shared ideas but among so many comments, how do you validate yourself? But who cares about the digital world. You can create a whole new persona of yourself to present to the world. Ultimately, it's just you playing pretend. We live in the real world. If someone likes you, great. If they don't, you don't care but of course, you'll start wondering- why not? At times, you 'll even hate yourself. Why then would people even like you? You are, who you are and in life you'll juggle a lot of responsibilities. You are a child, a parent, a student, a hard ass worker- you are all of that. But it doesn't define who you are. You are not your responsibilities and roles. I fall into this trap and at one time my only identity was bein...
