One of the first books I read on strengthening the power of the mind suggested an exercise to increase concentration that included focusing on the flame of a candle for one minute. As a starting point they suggested to have someone time you for one minute while you counted how many times your mind wandered in that minute and then you could seek to improve from there. Seemed reasonable enough. So I had my husband watch the clock and I started counting. When I couldn’t stand it any longer I finally said “Stop! I can’t stand it! It HAS to have been a minute by now!!” And he looked at me in amazement and said “It’s been 38 seconds.”
So I practiced every day. Like getting on a mental treadmill, I practiced and within a month I could hold my focus for not only one minute but I was going for two! I started to realize that I could think what I wanted to think when I wanted to think it. WOW! Revelation! And with my new-found power, my life started to change. I realized that big changes could happen with as little as one minute a day. I wondered what I could do with five!
Change can be easy and it doesn’t take alot of time. Practice anything, meditation, exercise, learning, ANYTHING for 5 minutes a day and your life will improve! It’s NOT about time, its about CHOICE!!
