Regular meditation practice will improve your capacity to reprogramme your actions.
Most of our actions are automatised. Even though we have an element of choice and free will, the truth is that a great deal of our behaviours and feelings are automatic (some scientists claim that up to 96% of our brain activity is automated). As a result of this, it is not uncommon to find ourselves reacting to our sensations and thoughts in ways that do not always serve us well.
Regular meditation will give you more mental clarity and awareness of conscious decision making. This in turn will naturally help you make better choices in your actions and how you feel.
The list below, are examples of how to reshape and swap your thought process towards more positive ones, substituting old habits or conditions to more productive and joyful alternatives:
| UNPRODUCTIVE ACTIONS: | PRODUCTIVE ACTIONS: |
| discouragement | enthusiasm |
| frustration | trust |
| anxiety | presence |
| envy | admiration |
| hatred | hard-work |
| sadness | joy |
| victimism | responsibility |
| fear | courage |
| passion | love |
| possessiveness | zeal |
It should be noted that the process of reprogramming is a gradual one with each individual achieving it in their own time. We are all unique and have various life experiences, which is why some of our old conditions may take longer to reshape than others. The idea here is to show you that for every feeling and action in your life there is an alternative way of looking at it, which combined with techniques of meditation can successfully allow you to have the clarity to choose the most appropriate actions for a more fulfilling life.
