I am glad I re-learned this today. I tend to see things that are far away. I tend to look to the end of something or to a point in the distant future. This inevitably takes me out of the present. I then spend a lot of time looking for big things to take me to these big places I see in my mind and find a lot of tension from the friction of effort and natural tendencies. I realize that I can somewhat get to these places that I want to in my mind but I end up sacrificing the natural rhythm of my mind and body. I am now learning that it is better to reach just far enough to make the next step, not far enough to get to the end. Everything I do should be within reach of my mental, physical and emotional capabilities. This will help me to stop wearing myself thin by not living up to my large expectations. It will also help me recognize where I actually am and where to go next.
In the words of Lao-Tzu, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I echo this statement.
I have recently found that there is a bunch of tracks on YouTube that fall under the category of brainwave entrainment that have sounds which possess some sort of frequency conducive to mind states of well being. That is a confusing sentence but if you click the link, the uploader says a few things in the comments section. This is just one of tons that are out there. All of them have produced some form of relaxation for me, regardless of whether there is science to back up the idea or not. I think it makes sense.
