In this blog, I'm going to be sharing with you how to stop distracting thoughts and how to live in the present moment. I'm also gonna be sharing why you have distracting thoughts, where the overthinking comes from, and how learning how to let them go is the key to stay focused, succeed and live in the present moment.
How to Stop Distracting Thoughts, Stop Overthinking and Live in the Present Moment
First, I'm just going to share a book reading from the founder of this meditation, titled "How to become free from distracting thoughts and live in the present moment?"
The reason people have countless thoughts and so many distractions in their minds is because people take pictures of the incomplete world. One is born with the habits topped with the life lived, and the life he lives, which are the delusional thoughts, added on top. If you throw this all away, your delusional thoughts will disappear and you will be able to work hard at what you do, and you will be able to succeed. Throwing away the life lived, which is the cause of the delusional thoughts within oneself, is the way to get rid of these delusional thoughts. It is also the way to increase concentration and live in the present moment.
What Are the Habits and How Does it Create Overthinking?
Now I am going to break it down and illustrate it with visuals to make it clear.
First we need to understand what is meant by "habits" - it is not necessarily the conventional interpretation of repeated tendencies that are difficult to give up, although they are related.
It is the imprinted mind traits in your genetic code from your parents and ancestors - just like you look like your parents, your mind also resembles theirs.
For example, it is scientifically proven that intergenerational trauma is stored in your genes. If you think about how Dolly the Sheep was cloned with a single cell, it is the same principle.
What is the Incomplete World You Live inside of and How Does it Create Overthinking?
This has been covered at length on our blog, but again I will illustrate it here.
So if you look around you right now, that is the real world. But when you close your eyes, there's an incomplete world inside of your mind - it incomplete because it is not the True World / Reality it is just a copy.
You have a 5 senses camera body with your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and body, so from the moment you were born you were taking pictures of everything and recording it into your brain.
For example, where you grew up as a child, You might remember your house, the places that you played, playing with your friends and family, parks, and your mind at that time was very simple.
Whatever was in your mind at that particular time is what was being created inside of your mind. The thoughts that were produced inside of your mind at that time were based on the habits that you inherited from parents and the life that you had lived up until that point.
As you get older, it doesn't stop. You keep taking more and more of these pictures. You go to primary school, getting in trouble, good times in primary school, bad times, what kind of student was I? So your mind's building up.
So this idea of this incomplete world inside of your mind is building up, and there's more and more space that it's taking up inside of your mind.
Then you go through high school, university, stresses about friends, getting your phone, anxiety, going to different kinds of places, holidays, moving house, exams, study, boyfriends, girlfriends, whether you were a good student or a bad student, what do be when you get older, having to start to think about doing casual work, part time work - more and more space is being taken up in your mind as the incomplete world takes over your mind!
You can really think about the past as being like the programming that generates the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of your present moment, just like a robots.
And then of course, there is your job, car, mortgages, houses, work colleagues, friends, holidays, having children, trying to take care of your children, worrying about money, worrying about the future, worrying about a promotion, worrying about the next thing, really overthinking and over analyzing everything!
The distracting thoughts are being created by those tens of thousands of thoughts from your life.
Not only that, you have this concept of your "self" inside of there.
"I'm an over thinker."
"I'm an over analyzer."
"I like reading books."
"When I do something, I do it really carefully and I spend a lot of time on it."
You emphasize the concept of your past programming, and just like a robot, you can't think outside of what's in your mind; you can only think according to what's been programmed into there.
Your whole life, I'm just taking pictures. When we talk about pictures, thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories, literally everything that happens inside of your body and inside of this mind, the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, everything are the pictures.
The worst part is YOU gave it to YOUR children
If you go back to your parents, your parents had that entire mind world also stored in their mind, plus their ancestors, and then plus their ancestors, and then plus theirs.
So it has just compounded into you. That's why you have distracting thoughts and overthinking!
Then guess what? You pass it onto your children and they start overthinking and have anxiety and stress before they're even the age of 10! It's really becoming an epidemic all around the world It's because our minds are full.
This is why we encourage parents to meditate before their children, because you need to understand you are the one who created that problem for your child.
