I first started living consciously when I studied social dynamics. It was a slap in the face! It is remarkable how my life has improved since I have started living consciously. I still get sucked into the lazy frame I came from sometimes, but more often than not, I am highly productive and goal oriented!

I think I started living consciously this last year. I was unhappy and just drifting thinking that I couldn’t change anything. Some difficulties required me to make some serious changes and while working on that, I realized that it might also be possible to change things so I could direct my life the way that I really wanted to.

#3 really stands out – I’ve always been on the emotional side and now I’m stopping to analyze them, determine if the negative emotion is worth it, and usually just letting it go. It can be hard not to worry but worry really accomplishes nothing.

The old saying, “it’s the journey, not the destination” comes to mind, as the real joy and richness in life comes from appreciating each present moment rather than obsessing about what may happen in the future. If every moment is lived to the fullest, the future will take care of itself.

I don’t even know where to begin; this post was great on so many different levels. I would have to say that working on having better control over your emotions is important because too many of us make really important decisions while we’re thinking emotionally versus rationally. I think that having balance and control over your emotions is key to living the rest of your life in a positive way.

Understanding your emotions puts you in control of the situation. It allows us to have clarity, and clarity begets calm.

You are taking control over your life.
In todays society we all seem to be told what to do by others, our parents, friends, strangers.
Normally it is some sort of life-threatening situation or event that causes someone to start living this way:)

Very nice post Glen:)
