I am a firm believer of Karma and more so Karma Yoga. If you strive hard and do good work with the best of intentions, benefits of doing so, in some form and shape, will be visible sooner or later.
In the book The Power of Now, we are enlightened on this concept from Bhagavad Gita. Practicing Karma Yoga means doing work the best you can without being obsessed about results.
This not only helps you focus on the current moment, but also drives away and anxiety and fear from your lives, as mentioned below.
The tattoo I would have would reflect the fact that the PRESENT moment is a GIFT from god to serve as a constant reminder to enjoy the moment.
The quirk of our brain is that it hates focusing on the present moment. Hence it is normal for our mind to constantly feel depressed of the past and worried about the future.
When we are mindful and show our gratitude to god for gifting us the present moment, our life becomes blissful with joy.
Hence practice mindfulness and let your tattoo always remind you of this reality.
A brilliant lessons from the book The Power of Now has been illustrated below:
The Habit of Mindfulness is one habit which when practiced regularly over a period of time is sure to improve the quality of your life. I have experienced noticeable improvements since the time I started being mindful.
The most powerful strategy to maintain good health and well being is to realize the power of now. Focus on the NOW for a fulfilling life.
More often than not due to lack of focus our mind vacillates and hence we are either regretful of the past or obsessed with the future. This leads to anxiety, fear and restlessness.
Practicing mindfulness a a habit is necessary to reverse the natural instinct of the brain to deny the present moment. This is wonderfully illustrated by Eckhart Tolle in his book The Power of Now.
Hence this habit will improve your life in the long term and will make you realize long lasting benefits.
In this blog post I will let you know why the book The Power of Now a must read for all.
This book is a constant reminder that the only thing we can control is the current moment.
It wonderfully inspires us to focus on the present rather than repenting on the past or worrying about the unknown future.
Focusing on the present moment is know to drive away anxiety, stress and improves our immune system.
The state of NO MIND is a very powerful concept I have learnt from this book. This is indeed required in the hustle and bustle of modern life as mentioned in this post.
The book Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is an absolute masterclass which has taught me the virtues of focusing on the now. Highlighted below is an inspiring quote from the book.
To understand the benefits of focusing on the now we need to practice the act of gratitude more frequently.
The one word I would like to give up is Anxiety. In the hustle and bustle of modern day lives, many of us are gripped with anxiety and stress. Let this post lead you to the path of your anxiety removal mantra.
With too much of stress the level of cortisol rises in our blood. Research has shown that exposure to high amount of stress and anxiety can kill neuron and inhibit growth of new neurons in our hippocampus which is responsible for memories.
Hence the need of the hour is to remain in flow by focusing on the present moment. Practicing gratitude and thanking god for gifting our present moment would help us forget about past regrets and future fears.
Realizing the power of the now is indeed the mantra that can drive away anxiety and stress from our lives.
This has been wonderfully explained by Eckhart Tolle in his best selling book The Power of Now.
