Checking our awareness

I believe that it is easier to lose our awareness at any point in time than it is to stay focused and in the moment, when avoiding catastrophe, big OR small. Let me give you an example.

The other day when I was taking my morning walk and cogitating plans for the day I realized I was having an issue with my balance. Now, this is nothing new; however, I usually recognize that it is either time to sit down and wait for it to pass, or I will put off doing anything that might require a balanced equilibrium until I feel more stable. I don't really mind this about my physical self, as it reminds me about the importance of staying focused- most of the time. But, I have to admit, as I was making my way up a short grade in the street, I totally lost my awareness as I was losing my balance.

In an effort to avoid going “down”, I immediately started saying to myself, “you're not going to fall, you're not going to fall...” And of course I DID fall, while uttering, “you're going to stay upright”, remembering some of the teachings from The Secret that tells us 'anything we focus on, we create'(hoping my fall would be minimized at the very least). But, alas, I found myself on the ground, rubbing my elbow that had hit some stones fairly hard, and shaking my head at the fact that I truly HAD created my own little reality at that point in time. I had LOST MY AWARENESS-again!

For any of you who are not aware of the teachings of The Secret, here are some of the key points regarding focus and attention:



-When you visualize, you materialize

-When you go there in the mind, you go there in the body

-Anything we focus on, we create

-Focus on what you want, instead of what you don't want

-Energy goes where attention goes



Now that I have reminded myself about checking my awareness when I have a lot on my mind and try to do action-oriented tasks at the same time, will it keep me from falling? Hopefully. Will I avoid losing my awareness again under similar future circumstances? Probably not; but, it can't hurt.
