Today was one of those days in which I can say with property that “easily said than done”! I can’t even say I started the day well. I brushed my teeth while taking the bathroom’s trash out... and that was the rhythm of the day; with few exceptions in which I really started a task and went all the way to its end.
Even now, I’m chatting with a friend online and writing the text to the blog! Total failure!
Anyway, what I thought it was the most difficult thing to do was to do the task without thinking about the next 50 things I needed to do. Only possible when I was doing something really enjoyable or repetitive, or when I was mentally screaming at myself to stop the mental diarrhoea.
The interesting thing is that I just started to read a book called “The power of now” by Eckhart Tolle that speaks exactly about how our thoughts keep us from being present and whole.
The thing is that in a World that values “thinking”, “doing” and being “mechanically efficient” so much; doing, or better “being”, different demands constant attention. Maybe next time!?
What about you? Any success?
