I want to begin with two powerful quotations, from George Berkeley and Lao Tzu, to understand more about the relationship between our human minds and matter all around and within us.
“What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind.” – George Berkeley [12-March-1685 to 14-January-1753).
“If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.” – Lao Tzu

We can incorporate mindfulness, on a daily basis, that will allow for everyone to have a respite from the worldly chaos and confusion that affects us mentally. This practice will slowly make us become fully present in the moment, devoid of judgment of others or fear of one’s worries. Mindfulness allows us to gain a deeper understanding of our thoughts, emotions, and reactions.
All of this will involve hard work on a consistent basis because change is never easy for anybody. Mindulness is a call to trust the journey, understand that we cannot control everything, and find peace in the present moment. As we integrate these principles into our daily routines, we enhance our well-being and discover a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.
