Improve Your Life By Maintaining Objective Awareness

There’s a massive difference between a spiritually-minded and a worldly person.

A spiritually-minded person can maintain objective awareness of their internal problems. They don’t lose themselves to external events.

I’ve been the passenger of a mental roller coaster ride more times than I’d like to admit–external events hijacking my mind to control every thought.

If you let it, it will happen every second of every day. “The voice inside your head wants to control the world, which it can’t,” says Deepak Chopra.

To free yourself of a mental hijack, you must watch your problems. You must become the observer.

Start by asking yourself, what part of me is being disturbed by this external event?

Once you’ve identified it, then ask yourself, who is it that sees this event? Who’s noticing this internal disturbance?

To see something requires a subject-object relationship. The subject is “The Witness,” the one who sees what’s happening. The object is what you’re seeing, the internal disturbance.

Because you see the disturbance means you’re not it.

“This act of maintaining objective awareness of the inner problem is always better than losing yourself in the outer situation.” You’ll begin to notice “that you’re watching a human being’s personality with all its strengths and weaknesses. It’s as though there’s somebody in there with you. You might actually say you have a ‘roommate’” says Deepak.

Once you begin to take a seat in consciousness, you become the observer. You get rid of or see all your internal disturbances.

You’re watching.

A good time to practice objective awareness is in the shower. Watch the voice become active. Watch it start to control you.

When you shower, you should be focused on tending to your body, yet your mind has other plans.

Take back the control as an observer.

Forget the work-life balance myth. Are you ready to start living your best life?
