Keeping Conscious
Staying Grounded In A Busy World
1. Live simply and live deliberately. By choosing not
to get caught up in the details of this fast-paced world, you are doing
your part to slow down the . You will also discover that you have more
time to enjoy being alive.

2. Stay in touch with yourself. Soul searching,
meditation, and journaling are just a few of the many activities you can
take part in to stay aware and learn as much as you can about your
emotions, reactions, likes, dislikes, dreams, and fears. Having a solid sense
of self gives you a firm foundation for living in this world.

3. Support or teach others as often as you can. This
can help you form connections with people while also giving you an
opportunity to make the world a better place.

4. Consciously choose what you will allow into your
being. The media bombards us with visions of hate, war, and pain. Be
judicious about what you read, watch, and listen to.

5. Acknowledge the beauty that resides around you.
Whether you live in a sprawling metropolis or a stereotypical suburb,
there are natural and man-made wonders just waiting to be discovered by
you.

6. Nurture your ties to your tribe. If you don't have
one, create a community that you can belong to. Modern life can be
isolating. When you have a tribe, you have a circle that you are a part of.
Its members - loved ones, friends, or neighbors - can be a source of
support, caring, guidance, and companionship.

7. See the larger picture. Remember that the way that
you choose to live is not the only way to live. Widen your perspective
by exploring other modes of being through research, travel, and
discussion.

8. Embrace the challenges that life presents to you,
and challenge yourself often. After a time, even the most exciting jobs
or lifestyles can seem routine. Never stop assimilating new knowledge
about whatever you are doing, and your life will never seem dull.

9. Move your body. In this busy world, it can be easy
to live a sedentary life. Movement reacquaints us with our bodies and
connects us to the earth in a visceral way. It also restores our
vitality.

10. Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude.
The world can be noisy, and we are subject to all kinds of noises nearly
every waking hour. We are also often "on the go" and unable to relax.
Being alone in a peaceful place and making time for quiet can help you
stay in touch with yourself.
