The conceptof Zen is an easy philosophy that Im presently implementing intomy life and have discovered it works really well to allow thenatural happiness inside rise to the surface. Name it a lifephilosophy, call it hints or steps, call it what you will. All Iknow is I needed to share it with you, the reader, so you are ableto likewise implement this school of thought into your life.

Zen is based on simplicity, on being completelypeeled of the excess that life tends to put on us. This may be inthe way of mental burdens and strains that are self-imposed, or theburdens and strains of life outside of us. The school of thought isall about returning to the basics, changing back to the natural ebband flow of life both outside of us and inside.

To live Zen is to live free and glad.

As a baby, you were received into this worldfree of concern and the weight of the world. You were happy. As amatter of fact, you were born with only 2 fears in life the fearof falling and the fear of loud disturbances. The rest of theconcerns now in your life (which, as you know, are numerous) areself-produced.

This will help you return to that natural senseof happiness and contentment in living. It's all about Peelingaway the excess, and centering on the natural you.

Do you wish morehappiness in your life?

If so, you have to begin carrying out these twokey personality habitsget over yourself and live in the here andnow. Yeah, I understand it sounds a bit harsh, but take a closerlook at how come one would wish to get over themselves and live inthe here and now to discover more happiness.

2 Must Haves

When we're centered on the I in our lives, welose centering on everything else that's carrying on all around us.The focus of our life becomes usnot the big and vibrant domainoutside of us. When I say, Get over yourself what I am trulysaying is, dismiss your ego. It's all right to center on yourselfin the way of self transformation or betterment, but once your egosteps in, true happiness commonly gets forced to the side.

Once you become greater than somebody else orbetter (in your brain that is), your ego is at the helm. Leaninto it. Consider it and ask, How come am I being so conceitedabout this, what insecurity am I covering about myself? Observeyour mind and thoughts when you feel the self-importance barge in.What is it afraid of? What is it attempting to cover up? Once youare able to answer those questions and face those insecurities,freedom will happen.

Once we may rest our mind (consciousness) moreand be more in the here and now, and then the past and future,desire and the ego will slowly start to fade away.

If you wish to achieve a state of blissfulness,then go beyond your ego and the inner dialogue. Arrive at adecision to dispense with the need to control, the demand to beapproved, and the need to judge. Those are the 3 things the ego isdoing day in and day out. It's really crucial to be cognizant ofthem every time they come up.

Lower ego = More Appreciation = A richer moreZen life.

Do you recognize that we're the only animal onthe earth that may really think ahead and plan in grand detail? Weare the only beasts who have grown a big frontal lobe in the brainwhich lets us do so.

Yeah, this is a grand ability to have as we maydesign our future as far as careers, retirement, steering clear ofpotential negative situations, and more.

However is it truly all it's cracked up to be?Yep and nope.

Animals (with much littler frontal lobes) likecats and dogs live in the here and now. They're not thinking ofwhere they'll sleep tomorrow, what they'll do, or wonder if they'llbe lucky enough to get table scraps during dinnertime. They're onlyin the present.

And so what is my point?

Living like we're a cat or dog means living inthe here and now. It's in the time to come where we gain most ofour concerns, our fears, and so forth. Consider it. Do you alwayshave anxiety or concern about your past times? Sure, you might havehad trauma of some type, and it still might impact youbut Imbetting 90% or more of your concern or tension comes from futurethought.

When you are able to be present, like a dog or acat you do away with that 90% of anxiety, tension and concern.

Envisage that feeling.

You've the power to become present in each andevery waking instant. Even while you're studying this, you maysimply do that solely...just study. Dont think of your appointmenton Thursday, what you do eat for supper, or how come that carelessindividual cut you off in traffic before.

Here and now. This is where you are right now.Seated there. Studying these black letters. Allowing these words toseep into your mind and make you think.

So be mindful of your God given frontal lobe andlet it design and do what it does. But you likewise have the powerinside you to merely sit by and keep an eye on those thoughts aboutplanning or worrying about the future (they're only thoughts,remember?)When you're in the here and now, there are No additionalconcerns (today).

The real present in life isthe here andnow.

As a person youre athinking machine. As a matter of fact, your mind is the mostcomplex and most captivating thing according to men of science.After all these years of study, there's still so much we don'tunderstand about the brain and how it works.

Think Less

The brain is literally a computer on steroids(times a hundred).

We may crunch numbers, we may producemasterpieces, we may recall memories, scents, or even memorizepages of text.

It has been observed that the average personthinks virtually 12,000-50,000 thoughts PER day. And approximatelyninety-five out of a hundred of our thoughts are the same as wethought the prior day.

Talk about a need for new thinking, newthoughts, and new ideas.

Working on a large number of thoughts per day isreally demanding of the human mind and body. Can you envisage nowhow much merely a fraction less in thinking may make one feel? Nowyou are able to see why meditation has been around for more than2500 years and why the Advantages of it are becoming more and morerecognized. We're merely becoming a society of over-thinkingindividuals with bucket loads of tension and worry.

What has occurred in todays world is that wehave become more of a fellowship of Thinkers and less of afellowship of Feelers. Why is this risky? 2 reasons
