Mindfulness in Simple Action

Mindfulness this isn'tEarlier this week I spoke to a breakfast group and asked what they did while driving to the meeting that morning.

Nothing surprising, people said they ate, listened to music, talk radio and motivational “tapes,” some sang, talked on their cell phones, some thought about problems, one rehearsed a speech, a salesman worried about a client, they checked email, they texted, one sexted, one woman put on lipstick, several drank coffee, and a man planned dinner. Some of them were doing a few of these things at once.

But not one of them just drove.

Really Simple Mindfulness

I want to talk to you about something people call Mindfulness. An ancient idea that was given a 20th-century name, Mindfulness is a super simple and easy to implement idea which can have a huge impact on your health, well-being, clarity, energy, and just about every other aspect of your daily life.

I’m going to share it with you in the simplest way possible. Mindfulness is paying attention to what is going on at this very moment. That’s it. So try this during your day today. Whenever your mind goes somewhere – and you’re typically deep into something – and you’re almost unconscious, but at some point your mind pops back into awareness. At that moment, ask yourself, “Where am I?,” or “What am I doing?” In that moment, your experience is transformed…

Not Just Goal Setting

Goal SettingTwo  primary challenges for many entrepreneurs, particularly people just getting started,  is staying focused on the things that matter and maintaining a high level of action on those things.  Setting goals is helpful as it gets you thinking in the “right” direction. But because of all the distractions, all the opportunities, all the commitments in modern life, GOAL SETTING IS NOT ENOUGH. What really makes a difference is 1) setting goals, and 2) keeping them in the forefront of your consciousness.
