Am I following my heart?
What should I focus on today?
What do I need to see? 

An experiment \ud83d\ude42 
5 – 10 \u2013 15
minutes 

For the next 30 days \u2013 5 minutes a day. 
When I can \u201cstand\u201d being alone with myself 
in silence – I move on to 10 minutes. 
Or I stay at 5 minutes for as long as it takes,
until I notice with relief  
\u201cMamma Mia! 
I am not my thoughts.\u201d

Ooooo\u2026 now this is getting interesting\u2026 

Can I actually manage all of this?! 
Yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the cockpit of stepping away 
from the automatic brain,
so that I can learn to take the controls manually.
From the heart,
consciously,
not reacting to every stimulus – but responding
only when I choose to
and finally, in the way I truly want to. 

This is what integration means: 
I feel.
I think.
I say. 

How? 
5 minutes \u2013 every day. 
Challenge \u2013 40 days. 

Why?
To create a new habit.
A new habit that will support me
and the steps that follow. 

I sit. 
Feet on the ground. 
Or I can sit cross-legged. 
Back straight. 
Eyes closed. 
I focus on the space between my eyebrows.
And I breathe. 
Into my belly. 
I focus only on my breathing. 
I set a timer for 5 minutes. 
I just breathe. 

Most likely, after 3 seconds,
my thoughts will carry me back
to my last argument. 
Yes\u2026 I see. 
I leave \u201cthose thoughts\u201d alone. 
I return to breathing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most likely, after another 10 seconds,
my thoughts will carry me away
into my plans for today.\u00a0
Yes\u2026 I see.\u00a0
I leave \u201cthose thoughts\u201d alone.\u00a0
I return to breathing.\u00a0

I don\u2019t fight them.\u00a0
Every time
\u2013 when I notice that I have drifted away \u2013
I simply return to my breathing.\u00a0
I am learning how to sit at the controls
of my body and my mind.\u00a0
Yes.\u00a0
It is almost funny
how powerfully our thoughts
carry us away.\u00a0
How difficult it is to live like this.\u00a0
And we don\u2019t even know it.\u00a0
That we can change it.\u00a0


Because no one has ever told us
about this key \u2013 the one that opens:
CONSCIOUSLY LEARNING
TO MANAGE our Mind.<\/strong>


Because:
I am not my Thoughts.
I am not my Emotions.
I am not my Patterns.
All of this takes hold of me – without my knowledge.
Without my awareness – of how deeply.
Without my consent – that I am not the one sitting at the controls.<\/strong>

Try it yourself.\u00a0
Just 5 minutes.\u00a0
And after 3 minutes, I was already checking
whether I had actually started the timer. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0
And my back hurt so much.\u00a0
And it was uncomfortable.\u00a0
\u201cI can\u2019t do this.\u201d\u00a0
\u201cI can\u2019t take it.\u201d\u00a0

Is it really only 5 minutes??

For me, the experience of feeling separate 
– from my thoughts – 
came after 3 weeks 
of learning to sit in silence every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWooooow \u2026 I am not my thoughts\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was amazed more than 4 years ago. 
And I have never stopped since.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow\u2026 and no one ever taught us this at school? 
No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I teach\u2026  my child. 
But first, I had to learn it myself.<\/strong>
