Liban failed to wake up same time or close to every day. Moreover, he browsed social media instead of waking up and exercising. He is not feeling well now. He, however, slept enough hours in previous days and mantained schedule of work on politics and religion.
Time is linear and human brains tend to be serial, doing one thing at a time. This is good combination. Liban has decided to take advantage of this and do one thing at a time, overtime making significant strides.
Being mind is realized when one does nothing, attends to the present moment while being curious, Liban wrote in his journal. Ultimate reality, he wrote, how does one relate to it? : mindfulness, prayer and contemplation. Per DBT, stories and metaphors may be used to cupture it.
Effects of mindfulness, and other similar practices: wisdom, intuitive knowledge, calming extreme emotions, compassion for others, certainty of experience, seeing the unity of life, capacity to cupture this experience through stories and metaphors. Experience, Liban wrote.
DBT notes, Liban wrote, three forms of mindfulness: being aware of now through the senses, naming what is being observed and doing what needs to be done. Willingness to do what needs to be done is preceded by being aware what needs to be done, using to do list and schedules help
Liban felt anxious, but he is not able to pinpoint what he was anxious about. He suspects number of factors, including failure to do his work most satisfactorily. If that is so, Liban wrote, it is time for me to work harder and smarter.
