Mindfulness and Concentration are The Keys


Mar 17, 2014- Mindfulness and Concentration are The Keys

Can we train our creative ideas to perform quickly and efficiently?

Today I would like to address the two main principles that I always spend my time practicing my creativity’s true potential. In fact, these principles enable me to managing my daily life in doing things with happiness. Both of the primary ways of approaching the success and the happiness in my work and my life are mindfulness and concentration, the systematic wisdom brain empowerment.

To be mindful, you should aware how to slow your life when you need it. Obviously, if you move too fast, you cannot connect to every steps you have or control your movement. As for me, one of major ways to practice mindfulness is to observe five Buddhist precepts; the basic code of conduct for Buddhist that will guide us to do and speak in the right ways as well as to help us adopt the right view toward the world. This essence of Buddhism empowers people's wisdom brain while slowing their lives to aware systematically of what is happening to their mind and body, moment by moment. 

1. To refrain from killing or hurting of living beings;
2. To refrain from stealing or taking what is not given;
3. To refrain from sexual misconduct such as adultery;
4. To refrain from lying;
5. To refrain from taking intoxicants.

Anyone who observes the five Buddhist precepts will constantly conscious their mind and their body at the present. In my view, when we are fully conscious our five sense organs: Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, and Skin, we will harm no one because we can control our thought and transform the negative thinking and actions into a positive force of becoming a wiser in creating connections with others and a compassionate person.

Yet, to have creative ideas to perform quickly and efficiently, mindfulness is not enough. As a whole, mindfulness does not work isolation. For peak performance in creativity, the power of concentration as a booster for a good consciousness in your dairy discipline will maximize the abilities to scope the flow of your thought as well as to keep your brain on the spot. Then, you will perceive the boundary of creativity.

To be continued.
