A Mind Fully Focused

A Mind Fully Focused

2/10/17

Friday

That’s another definition of mindfulness,

“A mind fully focused.”

But what does that mean?

Fully focused.

How do I do it?

It’s not being just a little focused.

I have to be really focused.

This is going to take some doing

How do I acquire that skill?

I don’t know, but you’ll figure it out.

What’s the value of being so focused?

Where will it take us?

What will it enable us to do? 

Perhaps it will help us accomplish our goals.

Or whatever we wish to accomplish.

Is  mindfulness

Doing or being?

Is it an active or passive skill?

Do I want it?

Will it be worthwhile?

We have a lot to learn.

We might be able to get a little help,

But mainly it will be up to us

To figure it out and teach ourselves.

That’s the way to learn.

We posed a lot of questions above.

Answer them

And you will have learned how to be mindful.

Learn from Negative Thoughts

Every happening in life

Provides a lesson to be learned

Don’t consider it a negative or haphazard event

It was meant to be

See it as a gift

It really is!

And that makes it so beautiful

A wonderful lesson

An event from which to learn

And then we allow life to become our teacher

Let’s allow ourselves to learn

From every event in life

Especially those that appear to be negative

They are not

They are beautiful lessons

See them as positive

Just a life lesson

From the Teacher

Not

Here’s How I Write a Blog

Let’s write a blog.

Here’s how I start.

I find a topic.

From where it comes I’m not sure,

Or perhaps I just hesitate to say.

The topic

Just seems to come down to me

From up above.

In that blog I try to give my audience

A new way of viewing a topic,

A new understanding,

A new appreciation of life,

That will open their eyes,

So that they will make a difference in this world.

I want them to find love and peace.

I want them to find happiness.

That’s why I write a blog.

Learn about Anxiety

This Book

Is a Course on Anxiety

Anxiety

It’s a disturbing experience,

A dis-ease,

It can be very uncomfortable.

Most people tend to acquire anxiety,

At least to some degree,

If not to a very uncomfortable degree.

The poems in this book

Are designed to help you understand

And cope better with your worries.

This book is meant to provide you

With insight and encouragement,

And a way out of the valley of distress.

That’s where the anxiety demons dwell.

You don’t want to spend time with them.

They make life miserable.

It’s my course.

It’s up to me to make it work.

I can run the course anyway I wish.

That’s what makes it so special.

I can personalize it.

It’s mine.

Imagine!

The course is totally in my hands.

I can change it.  I can add to it.

I can start wherever I wish

I can spend as much time on a step as I like.

It’s my course.

I can skip around.

I can do one step or ten.

I can do whatever I desire.

I can even have fun doing it.

A lot of fun.

It’s my course.

I just want to reduce my anxiety.

I’m going to make it work.

I will.

I want to feel better.

This course is just what I need.

It’s mine

Dr. Tony

Have fun doing it!

How Will This Book Help You and Me?

What do I want to learn?

And what will anyone else get out of it?

How will this book help me?

How will it help you?

How will it help the universe?

Maybe that’s the goal of this book,

Of this poem,

Of this song.

It is being written to help

You, me and the Universe.

That sounds so simple.

Maybe that’s the way it should be.

Simple!

I like that?

Maybe you’ll like it too.

The Past Is Our Resurrection, We Can Learn From It

The Past Is Our Resurrection

Learn from the Past

The Past is our Resurrection

The Past is our Resurrection.

It becomes a new beginning,

When we learn from it.

We don’t fall by the wayside

And stay there.

We get up and learn.

That’s what we need to do.

When we slip up,

We start over again and learn.

When we make a mistake,

It’s a resurrection,

We learn from it.

Anxiety

It can be avoided.

When we learn from it.

Anxiety

We make it our friend,

When we learn from it.

Anxiety

We make it our teacher,

When we learn from it.

We learn from the past.

Learn from the Past

Step Eight

Why Can’t I Learn from the Past?

Maybe

We don’t think we can.

Maybe nobody taught us the value of the past.

Or we just don’t know what there is to learn?

Maybe

The past can teach us.

Perhaps, that’s what it’s for.

Perhaps, we should learn from it.

Maybe 

There’s a lot of truth in the above statements. 

Let’s learn from the past.

Let it be our teacher.

Maybe

We should start seriously thinking 

About learning from the past.

Perhaps it really is of priceless value.

Maybe

Whatever happened to us in the past.

Was an opportunity for growth.

Perhaps we should use those opportunities.

That’s a good idea.

Value those gifts.
