If you try too hard at it, you’ll loose it. I’ve been studying both “The Secret” (AKA the Law of Attraction) and Buddhism- two very complementary systems that try to teach mindfulness about where you are and where you want to be.

We all want to be happy- more content with our lives. I think the trick is to really notice when you are and when you’re not. What’s odd about that is when we are not content, we feel we need to confront it- wrestle with our baddies, when we can just notice them and let them go.

We can! My thing is that it MiGhT be easier to notice and release the discontent than to hold onto it and disect it. Take a few days and try it out!

But be sure to notice when you are at peace, content, HAPPY! it’ll be good just to notice when you are. And if it does not look like it’s that often, see what you can do to make it regular.

What happened to me, today, was that I noticed I felt a little empty and kinda blah. Normally, I’d want to change that and do something- eat something or watch TV or Read. But I went in a different direction and just sat with it for a minute or two. It wasn’t so scary anymore. It was kinda nice to just be… Empty, alone, there. Just to notice the moment with no seeking to correct it.

That was a nice moment.
