How to stop fighting and start living

There is a myth, the victim of which we all become: everything that is of great importance, must necessarily be complicated. If it is what we seek, it was easy to get - a successful business or a happy life - why is it only a few succeed? In fact, the path to success we complicate ourselves.

Stop to take a step forward

Since childhood I have been a creative person and as a teenager began to write songs. It was then that I became acquainted with the idea of ​​simplicity of form and content.

One teacher told me that the music does not sound special notes and pauses between them. Beauty is manifested in the fact that does not actually played. Mind, I realized that he meant, but did not catch the very essence.

I have always felt a thirst for knowledge, is increasingly studied to add variety to your music. Practicing guitar and keyboards, I was trying to bring ideas to perfection - and complicating the task. Perhaps this was the reason why my music career did not work.

After some time, I fired up interest in the acting game. I was engrossed in the activities: hire an agent, appeared in short films, played in the play. But once again faced with fear, doubt, uncertainty, I hesitated. I was trying to beat anxiety: mastering new techniques, familiar with different theories. But in fact, I only become more complicated. Another training course, only one book - and I'm a great actor!

I've been training, reading, watching the master classes until my head is not filled with so many ideas that I completely forgot the most important thing: be here now, to interact with the other actors.

The habit of complicating

In both cases, I was so complicated the fact that I do lose one's attraction. I tried to take everything under control. And even though I knew that the simplicity - this is the key to creating something truly beautiful, I could not stop.

When we get rid of excess, there is only the purity and naturalness. She was always rich in the energy, spirit and truth. I knew this, but did not feel his heart. It was not steadfast enough and do not fully believe in this idea.

In a sense, the habit of complicating brought me a sense of security. I thought that working productively, and that helped me to avoid doubt. But it was a flight from himself must be addressed.

We convince ourselves in the complexity of things, because it distracts us from domestic problems.

We are frightened by the prospect to be alone with him. We fear that if we do not live in suspense, it will not be satisfied with the fact that we will in those quiet moments. Yet it is in these moments we can truly make progress.

When our minds cleared and we are in agreement with those who we really are - beyond all views, experiences, beliefs, which we have accumulated since birth, - we become a much more resourceful and flexibility.

Release the situation does not mean give up

Lao Tzu wrote: "Pot molded from clay, but it is the emptiness in it is the essence of the pot."

The problem is that we do not give ourselves a break. We run around like a squirrel in a wheel, running on empty.

It may seem that simplify life deprive us of certain pleasures. Maybe if we surrender to the present moment, it is only set us back a lot further away from the life we ​​dream of.

In fact, this emptiness fills our space pretty quickly. However, instead of the expected abyss you suddenly filled with love and confidence. And along with that comes the clarity of mind, which promotes understanding and efficiency.

Allow yourself to listen to the inner silence, we achieve better results than they fixate intensely and thinking about the situation.

I do not propose to bury his head in the sand. I propose to realize that the constant worries and doubts will never lead us to what we really want.

Excessive complexity never works for us, some spheres of activity it may concern to: writing, music, acting or playing plans for the future.

Free space for thoughts

When we stop the endless process of reflection and are in the present moment, the answer comes by itself. Why? Because finally there was a place for him.

Without empty space our mind mired in old thinking and ideas. These ideas have not brought you use, so why hope that they would ever be useful? As Einstein wrote, madness - is to repeat the same action over and over again, expecting a new result.

Stress and anxiety do not help to achieve the desired. The less we fixate, the easier it is to manage.

Want to learn how to move from empty thinking to problem solving? Slow down! Just leaving a free space, we gain clarity and allow new ideas emerge.

Each of us has an innate wisdom

You do not need to master a variety of techniques to achieve the desired result. Enough to lose. Endlessly analyzing the situation, you just load the yourself. You will present themselves in the past, thinking about how it was possible to avoid the problem. Or in the future that scares unknown.

The bottom line is that the past and the future you only imagine. In fact, you live in the present moment!

It should be fully aware of it, you will immediately feel the unity with each other and will be in reality. Restless foreboding replaced by an understanding that now needs to be done.

Such awareness is necessary to practice throughout the day.

Take a walk in nature, select the free time to think: for an hour to check your mail and do not respond to calls.

Such small pause will allow you to gain clarity.

When we are calm and relaxed, make decisions easier. Creating a peaceful and tranquil space around us, we allow well-being manifest in our lives and we become who we have always been: before we swallowed anxiety.

First of all, you get a simple and solid. Yes, the one you currently are not burdened with a load of worries. Think about it: Are you able to solve the problem at least once in a state of stress or fear? Is not it the most brilliant ideas have visited you when you were calm and think clearly. Perhaps, when you take a shower or just walking?

Life should not be a struggle

If I have learned it before, then maybe, it would be much more successful musician or actor. Now I can not change anything in the distance covered and, realizing this simple truth, do not want to be anywhere else other than here and now. In this particular moment.

Learn to trust yourself. When your head is free from restless thoughts, that does not mean that you give up. On the contrary, it is the correct state to allow new ideas to come into your life. Realizing this, you restore harmony and one with who you really are.

You are free to create, to do anything that will help you once again become relaxed. You are freed from the ego desires and enjoy the reality.

The decision to trust the silence will require you courage. But once you make the first step, you will feel that life suddenly become richer and much less complicated. You will discover the best of all possible ways.
