Day one - living the momentus moment

This is the day after I had my moment of clarity and realised that to be a man and a positive force in society that you have to be present in the moment - this means being aware of what your actions will do to your environment - understanding your fears, inner drivers and desires - and acting in a way that has the most positive outcome to the people in your environment.













The morning exercise
In the morning when you awaken spend a couple of minutes clearing your mind, try to focus your breathing. I have only done this once so I may come up with a better technique but this is what I am doing now. In your mind when you inhale say these words "This moment is full of potential, I will find the most fulling path from this moment in time" As things pop in your head think about how they maybe used to the best - if it's something negative and out of your control then don't dwell on it if it can't be made into something positive. Think about your family and your loved ones and think about how your actions - stemming from this moment of meditation - can make their lives better and try and find a path in your mind with the lease resistance to make it happen.

A note on the past
The past is important in several ways, one of the most critical is how you behaved in it - did you really live up to your potential in the moment, did you really do all that you could do to make your loved ones happy. Also the past has to be looked at in context of how it's shaped the people in your life - if they are too damaged, bitter or dangerous to have in your life then they will affect your ability to engage in momentusness then they should be removed from your timeline

A note on the future
The future is born out of our actions in the moment and how we let our fears, dreams and desires control our actions - it's critical for us to consider our interconnectedness to all things and that when choosing the optimum actions that we don't damage these connections. A wise and beautiful and wise woman taught me that, and it's central to momentusness as essential it's about doing the right thing.

  1. Hey, A gratitude book rocks! you write something in it every morning about what you have to be grateful before- or before you go to sleep.. helps to be present and be in your power.

  3. Hey Jeff,

    Also there is some sort of holsync meditation that you can do - I haven't tried it yet have a CD at home (got it sent to me free off the net) have read some awesome stuff on how it can transform your confidence, self awareness etc. Some authors of interest may be Jerry and Esther Hicks. William Whitecloud- "The Magicians Way" (awesome book). and Wayne Dyer- I am currently reading "The Power of Intention" (or the power of what happens when you get connected and focused!).. mmm what else- I have read a little on EFT haven't tried it and recently went to a weekend (again free) from Universal Events or Chris Howard- Breakthrough to Success- which is based on NLP!

    Ah now there is a heap of stuff to research to see if any of it is you! LOL
