That Got My Attention

Sometimes a useful question is ask ourselves "what am I paying attention to?" Mind you, it's not that we may change anything, but we just want to strive to be aware of what has our mind "hooked." As we begin to [clearly] notice what we are paying attention to, then the Buddha's words "what we think about expands," can have added value and meaning. Once we are aware of what we are paying attention to, the next question is, "what is expanding for me, at this very moment?"

We I use this exercise, I instantly give myself choices and options about how I am interacting with myself and my environment. Like I said before, it's not that I may change something in my behavior or attitude, but simply noticing what has the capacity to hold my mind in place. Then at the least you can say, "that got my attention."

Namaste'
