For instance I found myself scattered while Meditation In A Bottle doing laundry and repeated to myself, "The only thing I have to do in this moment is load the washing machine" then I would move to my next step and say, "The only thing I have to do in this moment is put the detergent in the washing machine." Followed by, "The only thing I have to do in this moment is shut the lid on the washing machine." Etc.
As I continued to narrate each thing that I was doing I felt my mind quiet and profound peace enfold me. It sounds remedial and tedious but it worked like a charm for me.Even when I'm not in full out fear mode I can feel myself being scattered in multiple directions and my mind starts telling me that I should be doing something else or that I forgot to do something earlier.
As I become more conscious I can feel an underlying agitation or anxiousness with the present. My mind with it's continual chatter tries to keep me anywhere but in the present moment.Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry--all forms of fear are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
