Immersion!

Imagine yourself wearing an oxygen mask and drowning underwater (tethered!)… there there is the whole new universe all around you. Your focus just upon the new found blueness around you…Your focus just on fishes swarming around …Your focus just upon the beauty of the Coral reef…Your focus just upon the refracted rays of sunshine through the water… Altogether, an wonderful glimpse of this new world made possible due to the uninterruption from world above!!!  

Now think of another form of immersion in a different world,your Mind... Meditate…Find a calm place…Sit in a comfortable posture that suits you…Close your eyes…Focus on your breathe…an inhale that fills your lungs and exhale that empties your stomach…Just feel the coolness of the air…Your thoughts begin to wander away from your breathe…Don’t worry…make sure to bring back your thoughts on your breathe…even if it is just for a couple of minutes…

Now, Think of the most simplest of Tasks that you got to do next…Immerse in it. For example, say you got to eat your dinner…Turn off the TV,Newspaper,Books,Phone, Friends and Internet. Focus on the plate, the Food,  its Taste ...your feel of the appetite…as if all that matters in the Universe is  just You and Food…You immersed yourself, however briefly!


Practice the art of immersion! What you get to feel will be a whole new world!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!
