11 Little Known Laws of Mindfulness That Will Change the Way You Live Your Life

Ever heard of mindful living? Its become incredibly popular in recent years thanks to
countless scientific research studies showing its benefits.

The truth is, mindfulness practice has been around for centuries thanks to spiritual teacher
Gautama Buddha, who founded Buddhism.

The basis of mindfulness is being aware of whats happening in the present moment without
judging it or wishing it were different.

While the practice offers many benefits, you need to consistently keep at it to reap the
rewards.

Below well talk about the 11 principles of mindfulness so you can adopt them in your daily
life.

1) Your only reality is THIS MOMENT, right here, right now.


This famous quote from Buddha sums up this principle best: Do not dwell in the past, do
not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

The past is an illusion. The future hasnt arrived. The only thing thats real is whats
happening right now.

2) A negative thought is harmless unless you believe it.


Thoughts come and go all the time. Its natural. Suffering occurs when we attach ourselves
to our thoughts. The reality is, our thoughts dont really mean anything and theyre not who
we are. When you take a step and observe your thoughts from a distance, you realize that if
youre observing them, then they cant be you. Eckhart Tolle says it best:

What a liberation to realize that the voice in my head is not who I am. Who am I then?
The one who sees that.

3) You will not be punished for your anger, you will


punished by it.
We all get angry from time to time, but acting on this anger rarely results in something
positive. Its easy to get angry, but true courage involves doing something productive about
it. When you realize that the present moment is all we have, youll come to understand that
life is too short to spend time being upset and angry.

As Lao Tzu said:

The best fighter is never angry.

4) Inner peace is knowing how to belong to oneself, without


external validation.
Many people are concerned about what other people think of them. But you dont look to
others to find yourself. You are who you are and what others think about you doesnt make
a difference to that. Osho provides some inspirational advice to not care what other people
think of you:

Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you
become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center
depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you. And you
are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always
trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal.
Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself

Whenever you are self-conscious you are simply showing that you are not conscious of the
self at all. You dont know who you are. If you had known, then there would have been no
problem then you are not seeking opinions. Then you are not worried what others say
about you it is irrelevant!

Your very self-consciousness indicates that you have not come home yet.

5) Everything is created twice, first in your mind and then in


your life.
Our brains are powerful instruments and they create the world around us. And the truth is
that you wont act unless your brain knows what youre doing. So have your plans and
goals in place, and then take action.

The future depends on what you do today. Mahatma Gandhi

6) We ourselves must walk the path.


Life comes with many challenges and adversities for everyone, but the one thing with have
control over is how much effort and willpower we put into something. We cant attach our
happiness or success towards outside objects. It all lies within us.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the
path. Buddha

7) To strongly believe in something, and not live it, is


dishonest.
Dont bend to what society wants you to be. Dont change who you are so other people
will accept you. Its important to be authentic and follow your heart. Characterize yourself
by your actions and you will never be fooled by other peoples words.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
Dr. Seuss

8) The right path and the easy path are rarely the same
path.
Youll eventually come to realize that struggle is what makes you grow, and its always
worth it. While every step may be tough, it will lead you to where you want to go. Just
because something seems difficult doesnt mean you shouldnt do it. In fact, its all the
more reason to chase your goals.

Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.
Buddha

9) If you want the benefits of something in life, you


have to also want the costs.
So many people ask themselves questions like what am I passionate about? to find their
purpose in life. However, a better question is what is worth suffering for? This will help
you find what you truly want to do, and your life will be more fulfilling because of it.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your
consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the
experience you are having at the moment. Eckhart Tolle

10) Over-committing is the antithesis of living a


peaceful, mindful life.
So many of us have a massive to-do lists filled with tasks that we couldnt possibly finish in
one day. We think we have to be busy all the time. However, sometimes it can be more
rewarding to focus on one task at a time and mindfully be absorbed by it. We also need time
to rest and appreciate the beauty of life.

You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway. Steve
Maraboli

11) When you try to control too much, you enjoy too little.
As human beings, what is it thats so alluring about control? We desire the certainty and
comfort. The irony is that there is actually no such thing as control. We are never in control.
Ever. The sooner we grasp this and learn to go with the flow a little more, the easier life will
be.

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. Chinese Proverb

11 leyes poco conocidas de Mindfulness que cambiarn la manera que vives tu vida

Has odo hablar de una vida consciente? Se ha vuelto increblemente popular en los ltimos
aos gracias a innumerables estudios de investigacin cientfica que demuestran sus
beneficios.

La verdad es que la prctica de la atencin plena ha existido durante siglos gracias al maestro
espiritual Sidartha Gautama. La base de la atencin plena es ser/estar consciente de lo que
est sucediendo en el momento presente sin juzgarlo ni desear que sea diferente.
Si bien la prctica ofrece muchos beneficios, es necesario persistir constantemente en ella
para cosechar sus recompensas.

A continuacin hablaremos sobre los 11 principios de la atencin plena para que puedas
adoptarlos en tu vida diaria.

1) Tu nica realidad es ESTE MOMENTO, justo aqu, ahora mismo.

Esta famosa cita de Buda resume mejor este principio: "No permanezcas en el pasado, no
suees con el futuro, concentra la mente en el momento presente".

El pasado es una ilusin. El futuro no ha llegado. Lo nico real es lo que est sucediendo en
este momento.

2) Un pensamiento negativo es inofensivo a menos que creas en l.

Los pensamientos van y vienen todo el tiempo. Es natural. Sufrimos cuando nos unimos
(apegamos, aferramos) a nuestros pensamientos. La realidad es que nuestros pensamientos no
significan nada y no son quienes somos. Cuando das un paso ms all y observas tus
pensamientos a distancia, te das cuenta de que si los ests observando, no pueden ser t.
Eckhart Tolle lo dice mejor:

"Que liberador es darse cuenta de que la" voz en mi cabeza "no es lo que soy. Quin soy
entonces? Quien nota esto.

3) No sers castigado por tu ira, sers castigado con (mediante) ella.

Todos nos enojamos de vez en cuando, pero actuar con ira rara vez conduce a algo positivo. Es
fcil enojarse, pero el verdadero coraje implica hacer algo productivo al respecto. Cuando te
das cuenta de que el momento presente es todo lo que tenemos, llegars a comprender que la
vida es demasiado corta para pasar el tiempo estando molesta y enojada.

Como dijo Lao Tzu:

"El mejor luchador nunca est enojado."

4) La paz interior es saber cmo pertenecernos a nosotros mismos, sin validacin externa.

Muchas personas estn preocupadas por lo que otras personas piensan de ellos. Pero no
busques a los dems para encontrarte. T eres quien eres y lo que otros piensan de ti no hace
la diferencia al respecto. Osho proporciona algunos consejos inspiradores para que no te
importe lo que otras personas piensen de t:

Nadie puede decir nada de ti. Todo lo que la gente dice es sobre s mismos. Pero te vuelves
muy inestable, porque todava ests aferrado a un centro falso. Este centro falso depende de
los dems, as que siempre ests mirando lo que la gente est diciendo sobre ti. Y siempre
ests siguiendo a otras personas, siempre ests tratando de satisfacerlas. Siempre ests
tratando de ser respetable, siempre ests tratando de decorar tu ego. Esto es suicida. En lugar
de ser molestado por lo que otros dicen, debes comenzar a mirar dentro de ti mismo .

Siempre que seas (ests) consciente de t mismo simplemente ests demostrando que no eres
consciente del yo en absoluto. No sabes quin eres. Si lo hubieras sabido, entonces no hubiera
habido ningn problema - entonces no buscaras opiniones. Entonces no estaras preocupado
por lo que otros dicen sobre t - es irrelevante!

Tu propia autoconciencia indica que no has vuelto a casa todava.

5) Todo se crea dos veces, primero en tu mente y luego en tu vida.

Nuestros cerebros son instrumentos poderosos y crean el mundo que nos rodea. Y la verdad es
que no actuars a menos que tu cerebro sepa lo que ests haciendo. As que coloca tus planes
y metas en su lugar, y luego pasa a la accin

"El futuro depende de lo que hagas hoy." - Mahatma Gandhi

6) Nosotros mismos debemos recorrer el camino.

La vida llega con muchos desafos y adversidades para todos, pero lo nico sobre lo que
tenemos control es cunto esfuerzo y fuerza de voluntad ponemos en algo. No podemos poner
(apegarnos) atar nuestra felicidad o xito a/en objetos externos. Todo est dentro de
nosotros.

Nadie nos puede salvar ms que nosotros mismos. Nadie puede y a nadie le est permitido
(nadie debe).

Nosotros mismos debemos recorrer el camino. "- Buda

7) Creer firmemente en algo, y no vivirlo, es deshonesto.

No te dobles (sometas) a lo que la "sociedad" quiere que seas. No cambies quien eres para
que otras personas te acepten. Es importante ser autntico y seguir tu corazn.
Caracterzate,(distnguete) a ti mismo por tus acciones y nunca sers engaado por las
palabras de otras personas.

"Hoy t eres T, eso es ms cierto que verdadero. No hay nadie vivo que sea ms Yo que t. "-
Dr. Seuss

8) Raramente el camino correcto y el camino fcil son el mismo camino.

Eventualmente llegars a darte cuenta de que la lucha es lo que te hace crecer, y siempre vale
la pena. Si bien cada paso puede ser difcil, te llevar a donde quieres ir. Slo porque algo
parece difcil no significa que no debas hacerlo. De hecho, es ms razn para perseguir tus
metas.

"Aquellos que han fallado en trabajar por la verdad han perdido el propsito de vivir." - Buda

9) Si quieres los beneficios de algo en la vida, tambin tienes que querer los costos. -Buddha

Es as que muchas personas se hacen preguntas como "Qu me apasiona? para encontrar su
objetivo en la vida.

Sin embargo, hay una pregunta mejor que es "por qu vale la pena sufrir?" Esto le ayudar a
encontrar lo que quieres hacer realmente, y tu vida ser ms satisfactoria por causa de ello.

La vida te dar cualquier experiencia que sea ms til para que tu conciencia evolucione.
Cmo saber que esta es la experiencia que necesitas? Porque sta es la experiencia que
ests teniendo en este momento. "- Eckhart Tolle

10) Sobrecargarse es la anttesis de vivir una vida pacfica y consciente. As que muchos de
nosotros tenemos una enorme lista llena de tareas que probablemente no podramos terminar
en un solo da. Creemos que tenemos que estar ocupados todo el tiempo. Sin embargo, a
veces puede ser ms gratificante centrarse en una tarea por vez y mediante la atencin plena
ser absorbido por ella. Tambin necesitamos tiempo para descansar y apreciar la belleza de la
vida. "Debes aprender a dejar ir. Suelta el estrs. De todas maneras nunca tuviste el control. "-
Steve Maraboli

11) Cuando intentas controlar demasiado, disfrutas demasiado poco. Como seres humanos,
qu es lo que es lo que tiene de atractivo el control? Deseamos la seguridad y la comodidad.
La irona es que en realidad no existe tal cosa como el control. Nunca controlamos. Nunca.
Cuanto antes captemos esto y aprendamos un poco ms a ir con el flujo, ms fcil ser la vida.

"La tensin es quien crees que debes ser. La relajacin es quien eres. "- Proverbio chino
