This evening, I was lying on the bed in my apartment, searching and finding something valuable. It was a complete mindfulness teaching class, which aroused my strong interest. "Mindfulness" is an extension of a therapeutic method in clinical psychology, which also adds the idea of oriental meditation. Some data show that the activity of practitioners' brain regions will be enhanced, and their self-control ability and concentration will be improved accordingly.
In fact, I learned about mindfulness earlier. In 20 16, I first read in an article by teacher Li Xiaolai that he claimed that mindfulness could exercise mental strength, but he gave up because he was easily distracted. Later, I learned the method of body scanning from Mr. Wu Zhihong's course. Teacher Wu said that this method is very helpful to him, but it is also very difficult for me.
This time, with a complete course, I think it may not be difficult to practice. After learning about the teacher's education and experience, I immediately signed up and plunged into mindfulness learning. I still remember an exercise called "mindfulness walking", which is to pay attention to your own experience while walking. Although the teacher suggested not to practice in the street, because I would be too involved in practicing and ignore the dangers around me, I still practice in the street of Yangpu every night after class and listen to the instructions.
Later, after the cram school ended, I went back to Zunyi from Shanghai, then went to practice and then went back to my alma mater. During this period, I am still preparing my graduation thesis and investing in the blockchain, but the practice of mindfulness has never stopped. In the short four months since I started mindfulness, I have been wandering between Shanghai, Zunyi, Guiyang, Liupanshui, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Shenyang. These cities are changing all the time, but mindfulness practice is my constant ritual before going to bed every night.
In fact, the reason why I have such great enthusiasm for mindfulness is because I don't like the present state of life. I believe that the out-of-control of "worrying about the future tomorrow, regretting the past yesterday, but spending a blank today" can be solved through mindfulness. Facts have proved that mindfulness really gave me what I wanted.
I used to have bad study habits, and I was easily disturbed by the outside world and easily delayed. After several months of mindfulness practice, I realized in my life that the previous problems were all because I gave the initiative of life to my biological nature, such as laziness, inattention and avoidance. These natures have prevailed in my study and work, and my life seems to be out of control. Although mindfulness can't make me change my mind at once, I will still fall into the bad habits of the past, but life is to change slowly. The essence of freedom is to be rational in the face of desires, do what I should do and follow my own path.
My 20 18 year is not good, because unlike the pleasant study career in previous years, I have to face my own shortcomings and get out of my comfort zone, but facing reality is the first step to grow up. I believe that with getting along with myself and reconciliation with myself, I will be able to go further and further.
