What is present moment and how to practice it

majamarinic01

Present moment is all that you have. Everything begins and ends at the moment, not tomorrow, nor yesterday, but in the present moment.

It is very important what you are going to do in the present moment. Present moment will determine your future. Everything that you do today, will set you up for tomorrow.

Whatever that you want to accomplish tomorrow, in a week time, or a year, you must start today, and in the present moment. That can be researching, planning, finding the right partners, whatever.

Story

Years ago I heard someone saying: “When you are in a rush, you stop creating.”

It shook me, because I was always in a rush. Always trying to get somewhere on a time, trying to accomplish as much as I can for that day, always in great stress, not being able to really see and feel the moment, appreciate for what I already have.

Solution

So the solution, if you want to practice being in the present moment, is to slow down, just do everything at the slow pace. Really, nothing easier than that.

Were you ever in a rush, driving your car 100 miles per hour, trying to reach the destination, not even remembering the journey? I am sure you did that at least once. This is not being in the present moment.

Being in present moment is taking time to drive, setting an intention for your destination, enjoying listening the radio, actually seeing the landscape while driving, remembering all the town and villages that you driven through.

This is being in the present moment, and actually enjoying it.

“So slow down.” Maja Marinic

I found for you an amazing video about 8 ways how to practice being in present moment. It is here:

Best practice for me is certainly feeling your movement. Feeling your feet touching the ground, feeling your legs walk you from point A to point B, feeling water on your hands, feeling toothbrush brushing your teeth, etc.

If you practice being in present moment, it can increase your joy and happiness. Why? Because there will be no room for the anxiety of the future or guilt of the past, you will simply exist and BE. We are not human doings after all, but BEings.

My video version about present moment; it might be of better help for you, and to understand more;

So how are you going to practice being in present moment, and why are you going to do that anyway?

It is very important to know why. Why is important to you, and why you want to practice it, what are you trying to accomplish?

Here are again ways how to do that:

  1. Breathe consciously
  2. Slow down
  3. Feel your feet touching the ground
  4. Feel your body sensations
  5. Meditate

Conclusion

Present moment is all that we have because past we only hold in our memories, good or bad, and future is yet to come, if at all. Sorry to say that, but it’s true. We don’t know what future holds!

So to practice being in present moment, being aware of what we are doing, how we are doing it, and the how, we can create our own reality.

Everything is happening in the now, past, present and the future, that is exactly why it is very powerful.

How To Be More Self Aware

majamarinic01

Why would you want to know who you are? Why would you want to know your talents, strengths and weaknesses? Why is important? Why would you care? Who should care?You should be your own best self! You should know who you are, so you can improve your weaknesses, work more on your talents, try to make the most out of your strengths.

Self-Awareness can make you feel more happy, because you are more aware of your actions, feelings and emotions. Your relationships can improve, you can better perform at work…

If you wanna develop self awareness you need to ask yourself some deep questions? Just ask! But yourself! This is the only way how you can get to know yourself better. Asking yourself questions at all times, on a daily basis.

“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.”
― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

You can”t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another, is another quote by Ernest Hemingway that I love so much. It teaches us that all is within you. All your flaws and victories. People travel massively. They are being bored in their home country, and that is all right. But if you are not happy in your country, how can you be more happy in another? You can”t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. You better know who you are!

You need to find yourself again. You need to forgive yourself and praise those victories. You need to know yourself better.

Yoga and meditation is one of the tools that can improve your self-awareness. I like it so much, especially meditation, and yoga of course (I don”t know which is more important to me), because it teaches me to be more self-aware of my thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, actions, etc. Yoga is one of the self-aware tools to wake up your body, to be more awake in general.

Self awareness doesn”t stop you from making mistakes, it allows you to learn from them. You are not going to beat yourself up by making mistakes, rather, you will learn from them, accept them, and move on, try different approach.

When it comes to making mistakes, you are aware that this is a journey. The ones who are successful now, they made most mistakes, and you should know about that, be aware of it.

“It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters,”
― Amit Ray

Don”t compromise yourself. You”re all what you”ve got said Janis Joplin. Know who you are and you are going to be unstoppable. Do you know the saying: “Know Thyself”? It is knowing your core being. It is knowing why you are doing certain actions. etc.

You cannot move from one point to another (better one) if you are not aware of the situation that you are in now. You need to accept the situation you are in now. You need to look closely at the situation, what led you to here, how you ended up here, and how you are going to move on to next, again (better one).

Journaling is one of the best methods to get to know yourself better. What did they say, what it meant for you, how you felt about that, how did you responded to this. It is really great method to see what is going on underneath the surface for you.

Mindful activities. When you wash your hands. Shower. Feel that water on your body. Rubbing soap in hour hands. It is training you to be more mindful in other situations.

“I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.”
― Socrates

Record yourself. 😀 How bad do you wanna to get to know yourself better? You can record just your voice, or record yourself whole, talking to camera. It is a great exercise to see how the world perceives you. Tonality of your voice and your face expressions are everything. You are going to better perform selling yourself, at a job interviews, you will have better communication in general, your relationships will improve.

Working on your perception you can deliver your message better. People will start taking you seriously. But with a poor posture and low tone of voice will not take you anywhere. Start acting like the most confident person, like the one who has all in his or her hands. That is working on yourself. Working on being more self aware.

“Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one’s awareness of one’s ignorance.”– Anthony de Mello

How To Develop Abundance Mindset

majamarinic01

What is mindset anyways? It is a set of beliefs that you hold at all times. Most people are not aware of it, and very few people know what they hold, these people are lucky. It is a process.

Unfortunately, most of the people developed scarcity mindset, meaning they don”t see opportunities. Now, how you can develop abundant mindset is FREE. Believe me! It is something located in within you. It is your mind, way of thinking, education. Educate yourself! Why you think there is not enough for everybody on this planet?

Lot”s of people know about the Law of Attraction, but do you really practice it? It is not enough to watch a couple of times Secret and expect miracles in your life. You need to work for it! Also, if you are envy or jealous on other people, that can take you further away from your dreams. If you wanna achieve something in your life, you should be glad for everybody being and looking happy, having the things that you want, going on vacations and so on.

Vibrate abundance and abundance will come to you. If you are a salesman, and you are selling low pricing products, guess how much you will get? Raise your value or price of the product, and watch how your wealth grows. But the trick it, you need to believe you can give a value, your product is worth the purchasing, and people can benefit from it.

There are plenty of tools how you can develop abundance mindset. One of the things that I like to do, is to listen guided meditations. There are so wonderful ones that I like so much, I can literally see myself in possession of all my dreams. The key is to see yourself doing it, having it, and feeling it with all your being.

Abundance is everywhere. We have abundance of food, air, water, sun, electricity, shelter, people, opportunities, internet, jobs, businesses, and so on. Why some people don”t see that abundance, these opportunities? Because their focus is on the lack, their focus is on what it is. They talk about it, they think about it, and so they create it in their realities even more. This is the secret of how rich people get richer and poor people get poorer. Rich people see opportunities, and poor people talk about the lack all the times.

Also, if you wanna create abundance in your life, you should be open to it, you should think abundance, feel abundance, see abundance, and guess what? You are going to live abundance instantly.

Develop a Growth Mindset. There is amazing book that I highly recommend called Mindset – The New Psychology Of Success by Carol Dweck. Please, check this book HERE. I highly recommend this site where you can purchase this book, they ship worldwide for FREE and they have over 20 million books. Also, they are sending you book mark as well that brings opportunity to get a 100 UK Pounds voucher.

Simply, develop Growth mindset. Study people who achieved success. Know that all can be improved, that is abundance mindset. Nothing is fixed or a set in stone. Know that everything, you, entire universe, people around you, can be improved. You just need to improve first, you need to open yourself and see opportunities.

One more exercise that I highly recommend is affirmations. Create you own affirmations and repeat them every day all over again. Create affirmations that will shift your perspective. You can say like: “There are trillions of dollars circulating on this planet and I deserve a portion of this.”

I hope your mindset serves you, it brings you good. How to know that the mindset we have is good or bad? Simply, if something doesn”t work in your life, guess what? You developed a wrong mindset.

This is very effective exercise. Just put on a piece of paper all your thoughts about life. All your thoughts about money, relationship, health, wealth, physical body, etc… Your thoughts that you are repeating all over again, are in direct proportion of the life that you live right now. Simply, you are living your beliefs about life, about yourself. Change your beliefs, change your life. You need to change that as soon as possible, if you wanna change something. You need to change your thoughts.

You believe in something that keeps you down. You believe in the things that doesn”t serve you. You need to wake up, and study, study people who achieved something that you want. World is buzzing with a people who are eager to help, but you need to ask them. You need to ask them how they did it, the thing that you wanna achieve.

I read beautiful article about the scarcity and abundance mindset that someone else wrote, and I love it! You can read it HERE and educate yourself even more about the two mindsets. All in life is psychology!

If you wanna be mentored about the two mindsets, I highly recommend myself 😀 You can book me HERE. 😀 To ask for help and find someone who is going to point you where you lack awareness is a sign of strength. Don”t be too cautious in life. You are sabotaging yourself by this. This world is so wonderful, full of abundance, waiting just for you and me. You need to just open yourself. Look for it. You know you deserve it.

I am going to wrap up now, and tell you that you can. Simply, if you don”t see abundance now in your life, that doesn”t necessarily mean that there is no abundance, and you cannot have it. You need to first believe in abundance, see it in every day life situations, only then you can receive it.

I really, really hope I helped you with this article. I put all my heart and soul into it, and hope that I am going to inspire you and motivate you too see abundance and good in everything. Look around yourself, and notice how you live that abundance already.

Life Is But a Dream

Do you ever feel whatever you been through in the past doesn”t exist, it didn”t exist, and feels like it was centuries ago? That was like an old you, and it was, that wasn”t you. Than was an old version of you.

 

Life is everything but a dream, or
Life is nothing but a dream?!

 

You and me are constantly dreaming, either good or bad. You get to choose what are you going to dream about. You wonder how to dream good things? You need to be focused on the good. You just cannot dream bad and expect good. Doesn”t go this way.

Don”t get things too seriously. We often times think life is very serious. It is not. We tend to rush, we tend to hurry, and those are the times that we stop creating, we stop creating our DREAM life. Nothing is happening by forcing something, you just might get a burnout, and then you will blame a God, country that you living in, all that is, just not you. Things will come to you when you least expect.

Constantly remind yourself how all that is, all that has been, and all that will be, is just a dream. All is temporary. Don”t be too scared to do something new. All will vanish. Don”t be affraid of what people might say about you, the truth is they don”t think about you at all, people think about themselves all the time. They are mostly occupied about their life, not yours.

It is amazing time that we living in ow. It is truly fascinating all the resources that we have. Information and answers that we need, we can find out with one click. Everything is available to us, just the question is, how much we are open to this, and can allow to ourselves, how much we can handle.

Take Full Responsibility For Your Life

majamarinic01

Hi ya all! Hope you are fine?! Are you? Know that you are responsible for what is going on in your life, or how do you feel about yourself now and life.

What is taking full responsibility about yourself, your life, how you feel, and what you do? It is being aware that you choose to feel a bad about yourself. You created this thought about not enough, you choose to feel bad about yourself. Nobody implemented that thought or feeling into your mind. You are doing that yourself. Take full responsibility for your own feelings and stop thinking thoughts that bring you down.

There is always a choice. Choose a good one.

I”ll never forget the day when I was at the work, talking with my colleague about the life, and all of the sudden I realized that it is all my “fault”.

I choose to come to other country. I choose to date that guy. I choose to break up with him. I choose to quit my job. I choose to live by myself. I choose to hang around with this friend. I choose to say stop to another friendship. I choose to build my online business. I choose to be alone untill I find someone worth my attention. I choose to dressed up nicely today, put some makeup, take a picture of myself, and post it online. I choose to make myself a healthy dinner today. Etc., etc…

I believe there are some things that you don”t like about yourself and your life, and I”m asking you now, are you going to do something about it, or you will continue to bragg around of how miserable you are.

If you don”t like something about yourself and your life, just change it. First of all, do some research: “How to get better at this?”, “How to make this thing work?”, “What can I do If this thing occurs?”

Responsibility. Being responsible means being dependable, keeping promises and honoring our commitments. It is accepting the consequences for what we say and do. It also means developing our potential. People who are responsible don’t make excuses for their actions or blame others when things go wrong.

  • Take actions toward your success.

Responsible person is a dependable, responsible person doesn”t depend on someone or something. Responsible person accepts the consequences for what he say or do.

Of course it is easier to blame others. It is easier to blame the weather and not to go out. It is easier to blame some higher powers for not feeling well and not attending that seminar. It is easier to blame your parents for what life are you living now. It is easier to blame company that you are working for getting not enough money. It is easier to blame others, but does that really serve us.

Take the things in your own hands and live this life for how would you like to live, but first of all, do some research. OK, I need to change my financial situation, how do I do that? My hair is thinning, how to make it stronger? You get the point.

Also, beating yourself up because of you”ve done something that you shouldn”t is not a good thing. You did that because at that time that felt right for you, and that is ok. Imagine yourself fighting yourself. You cannot do that. Just do what feels right for you, and learn something from that experience. We are here to grow, to learn. Do something different today and watch how all grows.

Love ya all!

Take full responsibility for yourself, your own life, for how you feel and what you do, and everything will fall into place.
