Excited & Exulting!

Dictionary Entries:

Excited: Stimulated to activity; brisk

Exult: Show or feel a lively or triumphant joy; rejoice exceedingly; be highly elated or jubilant

When does one leap with joy triumphantly? When the COMING moment has "ALL" THAT YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO HAPPEN! Not the routine stuff, BUT the things that you had imagined might happen someday...It is like a MIRACLE catching you by surprise!

Try this exercise:

SET an EXPECTATION for the NEXT moment: CHOOSE what you would like CREATE in a situation or in a relationship, at this very moment. Now, internally in your mind, IMAGINE ALL that you wish to CREATE has already happened in the COMING moment (experience it, in vivid detail!).

Get a glimpse of exultation?

Next, how can one REMAIN (or, at least, RE-CREATE at will being) excited & exulting?

By setting consistent expectations continually!

Dropping the Noise - The Internal Dialogue!

You must learn how to stop your internal dialogue at will.

...I (had) delineated another procedure: walking for long stretches without focusing the eyes on anything. My recommendation was to not look at anything directly but, by slightly crossing the eyes, to keep a peripheral view of everything that presented itself to the eyes. If one keeps one's unfocused eyes fixed at a point just above the horizon, it is possible to notice, at once, everything in almost the total 180-degree range in front of one's eyes.

That exercise is the only way of shutting off the internal dialogue.

....

Nothing of what we do, with the exception of stopping the internal dialogue, can by itself change anything in us, or in our idea of the world!
