Practice mindfulness and awareness from "summary" of Art of Living by Epictetus,Sharon Lebell
Remember that the mind is a powerful tool. It can either be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. By practicing mindfulness and awareness, you can learn to harness the power of your mind and use it to your advantage. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment, without judgment or attachment. It is the ability to observe your thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. When you are mindful, you are able to see things as they truly are, without the distortion of your own biases and preconceptions. Awareness is the state of being conscious of what is happening around you. It is the ability to notice the subtle cues and signals that life is constantly sending your way. When you are aware, you are able to see the bigger picture and make more informed decisions. By practicing mindfulness and awareness, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace and tranquility. You can learn to let go of the things that are beyond your control and focus on what you can change. You can become more resilient in the face of adversity and more grateful for the blessings in your life. Remember that mindfulness and awareness are not skills that you can master overnight. They require practice and dedication. But the more you cultivate these qualities, the more they will become a natural part of who you are. So start small. Take a few moments each day to simply sit and breathe. Notice the sensations in your body and the thoughts in your mind. Over time, you will begin to see the world in a whole new light.
