The Best Habit?

I’ve been meaning to write something about this for a long time so here we go:

Now this isn’t set in stone but it’s what I’m thinking at the moment. The best habit in the whole world EVER could well be…

LISTENING

And what I mean by that is “the perpetual awareness of the space in which thought happens.”

Most of us think WAY too much to be happy. If we’re lost in thought, we lose the present moment and hence our joy of life.

So this is what I practice 24/7 — listening. You could call it “mindfulness” too. If you know me by now, you know I’m BIG on meditation. Well listening is bringing that awareness into everyday life. It’s ultra simple but also very very difficult to do. But the pay-offs are massive:

• More joy for life — increased happiness
• Freedom from unwanted thoughts and emotions
• Choice
• Peace of Mind
• Greater spontaneity
• Greater awareness of whats happening around you; e.g. other people’s moods

A great affirmation for this is “Thoughts come and go and I remain aware” — a reminder of what you’re aiming for — a state of “let-go-ness.”

Another great habit to get into (if you have young kids) is the one I talked about in How to Get Your Kids to Do Stuff. That is definitely my second best habit :-)

Please let me know what you think below. I’d also love to know — what’s YOUR best habit?

I hurt for 13 years. It was hell... torture... feeling very bad for a very long time. And that had a devastating effect on every aspect of my life.
