During Oprah’s interview with Deepak Chopra, he talked about the power of belief. He explained that our mind is so powerful that what we believe becomes our reality. This means that whatever we are thinking will happen, will be what shows up in life because we are looking for it. If we begin to change our belief’s, our life can drastically begin to change in negative or positive ways. Deepak speaks about how, as we begin to grow up, we begin to think of ourselves as separate from ourselves. This divide makes us become imprisoned from our beliefs and stops us from becoming our true selves.
I learned that if we can see everything around us as merely arising and subsiding and not react, we can begin to enjoy the roller coaster of life. I also learned that a way to check if you are being present in the moment is by saying to yourself, “Are you aware?”. This is a great self check-in to help you be mindful in moments when things are stressful or overwhelming. This podcast helped answer my question around what mindfulness is by Chopra explanation of mindfulness.
