Creating a New Experience
Now let’s talk about creating a different experience for yourself. You can choose how to experience your day.
Think of yourself as the Zen Master of your workplace.
You either take on what’s in front of you (someone talking to you, a situation you need to take care of right now, etc.) … or you pick a single task or message to focus on. This will be given your full attention. It is your entire universe.
You are fully devoted to this task, this email, this person in front of you. It is important enough to invest a portion of your life to. You fully immerse yourself in it.
You are fully present, in the moment. You experience the moment as peaceful, calm, open and joyful.
You are appreciative of this beautiful moment, as a tremendous gift to yourself. You are grateful to have all of this in your life, grateful to be alive.
Move through this task or situation, creating this experience for yourself. Breathe. Relax. Open to the beauty of this moment, this task, this person you’re with.
Keep practicing in this way.
You can create your experience. You’ll often go back to the old way you experience life, out of habit. Notice this, and return to the experience you’d like to have.
Become the flowing, focused, deeply appreciative, relaxed, joyful Zen Master of your world.
