The Next Step in Your Away Space

Step 2

  • Did my last post give you any interesting new feelings?
  • Did you get a journal and write them down?
  • Did you find an away space yet?
  • Did you do your homework?

I wanted to ask you these questions first so that you will stay with me and follow on the right track. The right track to You finding yourself Within. I would love to give you the secret in just one post, but unfortunately it takes time to get you back.
My sister and I both are challenged everyday by what life throws at us, just like you. The secret is how to prevent life from swallowing you up and living it unconsciously. I’m going to show you how to do this…

But first…

What do I mean by living it unconsciously?

Imagine being on a subway landing and just watching the trains go by...The many cars of trains keep stopping and then going by, by the hundreds and you are staring at the haze and blur. You really have to get some where, as a matter of fact, you are on your way to building happiness for yourself! You have to catch the number 6 train, but you’re so caught up in the haze and blur, (life) that you are not even aware when the number 6 train comes in. All you are conscious of is the haze and blur! Ultimately missing the train, so your entire day is wasted not going to where you wanted. This is what your life is like living life in a blur and missing the true signs of going on the right path.

Going in the right direction and being aware of the signs that you are going in the right direction is what I'm going to show you how to do!

How we live life...Missing the right train or the right path to where we want to go towards happiness… Some people call it our life's purpose.

You don't want to waste anymore time, because it is about time you got back on the right track and got out of the haze and blur of life.

I really hope you did your homework, because it is really worth it! I know it takes discipline; I know it takes patience! There is a part inside everyone that just doesn't want to take the time to going through the steps towards happiness. The part inside everyone has very little belief that life can get better, that part thinks we are suppose to go through unhappiness!
Ask yourself this, "Is that part of me that lives the unconscious life any fun?" You live life struggling trying to figure out why? You live your angers, your sadness, your depressions, nothing seems to be working out for you. Although you may have a great job, a wonderful family, a super spouse that does everything that you ever wanted.

BUT...You are still not happy.
IT could be because your emotions of the past, present and future are always in your way and you have fallen off that path. It may be that you need to just do a tiny change to get you back.

So…Let get started and get you back on track.
The next step in your away space

HOMEWORK
We have talked about breathing and doing this will quiet or calm ourselves down for 15 minutes in you away space.
This was the first step.

The next step in you away space is to just sit and don't even think. When you start to think...Drop the conversation you are having with yourself and go back to just sitting calmly breathing and paying attention. This is extremely difficult for some people to do, especially if they have lived inside their head for so long. People who find this difficult are probably the most unhappy. Usually the dialect that is going on in your head is meaningless and certainly is not important for the moment.
  • How hard was this?
  • What emotions did you feel?
  • Where you relaxed after?
Write these tidbits down in your journal and I'll get back to you soon.
Don't forget to really search for that space, because it is only yours!!!
Keep your journal close to that space, so that it is right there for you to write your feelings in after.

The great option you have here is doing these steps and knowing you are on the way to happiness and your true path.

Next Post:
What is a feeling of true? It is doing what you want, what you need, what you desire and what makes you feel good.

Listen for a connection and search deeply within yourself paying attention. Once you understand the feeling of connection, you move forward in life and become more balanced in life. Thus moving forward to the path of HAPPINESS...

Proper Breathing --- Big Step to Happiness

 Step 1

Have you ever given yourself just 15 minutes in your day away?
  • This is 15 minutes of completely uninterrupted time in your own away space.
  • The key is to be comfortable with just YOU as company.
  • That means that you have to find a place alone where no body will bug you, so by letting everybody know that you are busy and you are not to be disturbed. This includes phones, computer e-mail, etc!
  • When you have kids there are interruptions all the time...You have to make sure that this 15 minutes in your day is yours.
This is your away time!
It really is only 15 minutes, but so many people have a difficult time finding it.
*If it is difficult ---Go to the bathroom and lock the door. Somehow people get it when you have to use the bathroom .--- You won't be disturbed.
Or
Do it 15 minutes before you get up in the morning or before you fall asleep.

What do you do in this space and time? 
Proper Breathing - Big Step to Happiness


  1. Breath... Too many of us breath improperly and and that prevents us from getting full cleansing breaths. Instead breaths become short, too fast and not consistent.
  2. Practice breathing by PAYING ATTENTION...Sit or lie for 10 minutes and PAY ATTENTION to your breaths.
  3. Slow the breaths down and relax.
    Be totally comfortable during the process.
    This is actually where you will find you and the process of BEING just YOU!
    It is enjoyable and exciting and even sometimes scary for the first timers.
    You will get used to this time JUST BEING YOU.
    NOW
    Just before your time is up think of something that bothered you in the day or is just a pet peeve.
    FEEL and PAY ATTENTION...
    Your breathing has probably speed up and you have lost touch with relaxation.
    Get back to breathing with 20 slow breaths. (1 is a breath in and out and)
    I'm going to give you some Homework to do.
    • Get yourself your own little note book or journal to call your own.

    • Practice paying attention to your breathing during the day.
    • Notice when your breaths change.
    • When this happens get yourself back and remember to breath slowly to a count of 4 breaths (in and out counts 1)
    • Write down when you felt your breathing changed in the day and why.
    • Write down your experiences this week in your away space
    • Find a perfect away space!

    Life is what you make it.
    If you make it to your 15 minutes of away space and time--- you are making a good step towards feeling better in your day and most importantly discovering who you really are!
