Hello my Friends!
Here is homework assignment Number 1. This is something that I have all, and I do mean ALL, of the people that I work with do day one of our meeting ... simply start working on counting their breath. Why? Because it starts to work on your mental ability to focus and pay attention to what you are SUPPOSED to be paying attention to ... instead of what you normally do, which is run around on auto-pilot to the tune of 95% of your day. AND ... in addition to that, most people don't breath deeply enough on a regular basis so it is also good for your overall health as well. So, all you are going to do is try to get to 100 (eventually anyway) while you breath naturally and go about your daily routine. It will go something like this: 1. breath in and out, count one (in your head). breath in and out, count two (in your head) and so on. 2. sooner or later (most likely sooner) you are going to forget that you were counting and/or you are going to forget what number you were on. 3. when this happens, don't get mad at yourself or upset or frustrated or whatever. Just smile, laugh a little, and then start back over with a nice deep breath and then start counting from one again. Eventually what will end up happening is, you will be able to engage in your day like you normally do BUT you will also be much more aware AND more in control of what you are 'thinking' and 'feeling' under your conscious radar as well. This skill of attention and focus ... it IS a skill, as it can be trained and you can become more effective at it, is IMPERATIVE in eventually learning how to better think the way you 'want' instead of simply continuing to be a slave to your past and only reacting while running off old 'programming' from your previous experiences. So smile ... take a breath and I'll see you soon at 100!
