conscious living
I believe that our inner joy in life comes solely from our mindset. A mindful and conscious approach to our body and soul is the key to a fulfilling and healthy life.
Living consciously doesn't happen overnight. Discovering oneself is not easy. To access these life energies, one must look inward, listen within, and pay attention to what the inner voice has to say. Often, this requires a long journey. Today, in this fast-paced world, we barely have time for one another—let alone for ourselves. Many people are afraid of silence and solitude. And quite a few allow themselves to be influenced by others, choosing to listen to them rather than to themselves. They fail to recognize that it is they themselves who can contribute to their own healing.
To achieve self-discovery and self-awareness, I had to confront my own feelings and fears. My goal was to free myself from inner restlessness in order to truly find myself. I simply wanted to reshape my life—new and responsibly—without the constant self-blame I carried because of my painful past.
Since I started trying to live each day consciously in the present moment, many things have changed about me over the past few years.
I’ve become much calmer, act more thoughtfully and attentively.
The entire interplay between the positive and the negative, between consciousness and spirituality — all of it has contributed to me being fully present in whatever I do. When I go to work or run errands nowadays, I leave my home consciously, walk through the streets with awareness, and enjoy every step. I try to live in the here and now, with both body and mind engaged equally. I use my senses to perceive what is happening right in this second, in this minute — yes, right now — and what is going on inside me. I savor these moments to the fullest, because I am more composed, peaceful, and calm. In these moments, I feel my spirit, I feel the now — and I feel that I am truly alive.
Today, I treat my body with great care and gentleness — it is the protective shell of my soul.
I have chosen to live consciously because it has opened up a completely new emotional world for me.
This transformation has had a healing effect. I participate in life much more fully now. Life, nature, people, and everything around me affect me differently than they used to. This change has left a lasting mark on me. I have learned to reorganize my thoughts, to enjoy life more deeply, and — most importantly — to live in a healthier way.
If you, too, manage to delve into your inner world, you will gain a deep insight into yourself. You will discover new life energy and a new awareness of your body. This is a gift for all those who are on the path of inner transformation and who strive for health and joy.
