Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 214

Title: Are You Soaking In The Chaos And Destruction All Around You? - Stop Now

There's more to life than just sleeping and waking up. For some people. life could be a big long drag. boring and unfulfilling and for some others, it could be an unending adventure borne out of curiosity and the pursuit of it.
But the main truth is that life can be hectic; so hectic that most times all we can see are chaos and destruction surrounding us in every imaginable direction.
If we let it, the external chaos, destruction and despair prevalent in the world can become internalized and thus make our internal confused and disorganized.

But just because the world around us is in disarray, doesn’t mean the world within us has to be too.

That’s right, I’m saying there’s a way to stay sane in insane times. I’m saying you can get rid of all the insanity inside you created by others, the past, and uncontrollable events around you,
I'm saying that there is just One Daily Reminder That Will Calm The Chaos In Your Life
And it is just by being a simple witness of your thoughts.

It’s about sitting silently, and witnessing the thoughts passing through you.
Just witnessing at first, not interfering and not even judging, because by judging too rapidly you have lost the pure witness. The moment you rush to say, “this is good” or “this is bad,” you have already jumped head first into the chaos.

It takes a little time to create a gap between the witnessing of thoughts and your reaction to them.
Once the gap is there, though, you are in for a great surprise – that you are not the thoughts themselves, nor the chaos influencing them.
You are the witness, a watcher, who’s capable of changing your mind and rising above the turmoil.

And this process of thought-watching is the very alchemy of true mindfulness.
Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, the chaotic thoughts start disappearing.
You are thinking, but the mind is empty of senseless chatter.

That’s a moment of enlightenment – a moment that you become, perhaps for the first time, an unconditioned, sane, truly free human being.

So today, let this be your reminder to let all the small annoyances go.
Move through your day consciously.
Make an effort to notice at least one insignificant little frustration that you would normally get frustrated about. Then do yourself a favor and simply let it go.
Experience, in this little way, the freedom of being in control of the way you feel. And realize that you can extend this same level of control to every situation you encounter in life.

At almost any given moment, the way you feel is the way you choose to feel, and the way you react is the way you choose to react.

When you think better, you live better.

But, as I'm sure you're aware, that's sometimes much easier said than done.

Thinking better takes guidance and practice.

And that’s why we have made THINKING BETTER our theme for the 1st quarter of 2018

Because I know we all need a healthy reminder sometimes... to do the hard things we need to do to be happy.
The things that frighten us.
The things others can’t do for us.
The things that make the difference:
between existing and living
between knowing the path and walking the path
between a life of empty promises and defeat and one filled with renewed happiness, possibility and peace.

Let this mind be in you today, that you can actually become an UNCONDITIONED person living life to the hilt when you are able to practice this reminder on daily basis, that you are not what the world says you are, that you do not have to soak in all the chaos and destruction and that you can actually think with your mind empty neither justifying nor judging.
