How Do I Practically Use Mindfulness?

3 posts in this topic

I think the main reason most people dont achieve their goals is lack of self conviction. What I mean is not doubts, it's that when a person has to do a mentally challenging task, he seeks a reason to invest energy. A lot of times when he remembers the reason, he understands that the reason is justified and maybe he remembers that he was in the past very passionate and motivated by the reason, but in the moment the person just doesnt feel the drive, doesnt feel the motivation and doesnt resonate with the reason to do the task. He understands it intellectually and maybe he remembers how in the past he was motivated to do the task, but in the moment he is just disconnected from it and the logic just doesnt "do it for him" and the task is just left untouched.

This is what people sometimes call "laziness" I think. 

My question is first, what do you think is the reason for that disconnectedness from the reason and the lack of motivation?
second, since this problem arises from "mind stuff", I presume awareness is the key to solving the problem. However, personally, a lot of times I am aware that this is "mind stuff" but still I find it extremely difficult to do the task, and even if i start to do it, sometimes it becomes ok and sometimes I find myself resisting the whole way through, even though I am still knowing that this is mind stuff. Will it get better the more I meditate and the more im on the path of enlightenment? will awareness help me connect with the emotions that drive me to do the task? if not, what will?

Yes much easier, once you become fully aware the sensation is amazing, you want to achieve it again and it's much easier.
