On Mindfulness

I wanted to comment just a bit on the concept of mindfulness. This concept, which comes from meditation, has entered the mainstream. Rightly so, because it is an important concept. Recently I heard an author who used the term, “mindlessness”. This concept is the opposite of mindfulness. Does it happen to you? Sure. It happens to all of us. Mindlessness is when you don’t pay attention. You are just going through the motions. But isn’t a mindful way of behavior much better for you and for those around you? Yes! However, its takes effort, because for various reasons and pressures, we rush, or forget to pay attention. It is not easy to pay attention! I know because it happens to me too. Nevertheless I believe the best way to pay attention is to relax and try not to rush as you go about your life. If you rush, you may miss life as it happens!

I now am going to do a vlog version of this self-help blog. If you use Youtube, subscribe to my channel here!

Do it anyway!

We feel the way we act. This is a paraphrase from self help writer Gretchen Rubin.

Both ideas are logical:

We act the way the feel. (obvious, duh!)

We feel the way we act. (not so obvious, but just as true.)

Conclusion: It’s all about action. Action controls mood. A fake laugh soon turns into a real laugh. A frown soon turns into a sour mood. Act happy. “Oh but I’m not happy! I can’t act happy when I’m not happy.” Right, the “brake” that prevents good-for-you acts, is real. It takes happiness to makes happiness. Just like it takes money to make money. No happiness to start out with no acts that make you happy as you go on. Do it anyway! As far as I see, just do it! “Oh, but I don’t want to go out!” Do it anyway! “Oh but I don’t want to jog” Do it anyway! “Oh, but I don’t want to shop.” Do it anyway! “Oh but I don’t want to smile.” Do it anyway! We feel well when when act well, or when we act period.

Seinfeld: Elaine Sells the Soup Nazi’s Recipes

Hi everyone,

Most of you who follow me know me for my motivational/self help writings. I don’t know if you guys know that I also enjoy writing humorous pieces. In fact I have written an episode of the 1990’s sitcom Seinfeld! It is called Seinfeld: Elaine Sells the Soup Nazi’s Recipes. It was a lot of fun to write. I actually wrote much of it when I used to go out to coffee shops around the city. I used to sip coffee and write in my trusty note book, it was fun, was a worthwhile  activity and now it’s finally complete available for sale. If you were a fan of Seinfeld, I recommend you get this ebook on Kindle. Seinfeld by George

While you are there check out my other e-books as well!

best,

George
