Ever since I went to Denver two weeks ago, life has been on fast forward. When you leave the office (even for business) getting back on top is pure hell. While I was gone, time moved on, deadlines got closer, and work did not get done. Looking at my calendar when I returned to the office I had that “deer in the headlights” look. Schedules were converging and I was completely overwhelmed. How can you prioritize tasks that by themselves would each be considered urgent? The noise in my head was almost unbearable.
Quiet the Noise
The noise in our heads, the constant chatter of self talk, is created when the logical, rational side of our brain switches into overdrive. The brain, based on past experience, begins to project all of the possible negative outcomes from the choices we are faced. The panic I felt when I looked at my schedule was based in the fear that I was going to fail some of my clients, because there was not enough time to get all the work done. The key is the brain will generally always bring up the negative side of things, and not the positive, unless it is trained to do otherwise. Never once did I think about the clients I would please by getting their project done on time.
About this time I was book shopping in Barnes and Noble and I found this book (out of place) on a shelf facing me. It was called Quiet Your Mind by John Selby. I leafed through the table of contents, bought a cup of coffee and read the introduction. The book teaches you to quiet the constant chatter through focused meditation and be fully present in the moment.
Generally, my past view of meditation was it was a great way to fall asleep, and I never understood what it meant to live in the moment. What I have learned from this book is the mind effectively shuts down the logical side of the brain when it focuses on two or more sensory inputs. The concept is to begin by focusing on your breathing, noticing how the air feels as it enter and leaves the body, and then add an awareness of your heart beat or the rise and fall of your chest and belly as you breathe.
Letting Your True Thoughts Through
Selby contends (with research backing him up) that when you are able to focus on more than one sensory input it allows your true thoughts to flow from your heart and spiritual core. It allows both sides of the brain to work together and heightens your awareness of all that is happening in the moment. The result is a sense of peace and emotional, positive thoughts are allowed to rise to the surface.
With some skepticism I began practicing the breathing meditation. I discovered when I only focused on my breathing thoughts were still racing through my mind, competing with my attempts to calm my brain. After I began focusing on the movement of my stomach and chest in response to my breathing, I noticed that the racing thoughts disappeared. I entered a state of mind where time seemed to slow and I felt very rested and at peace. It was like my mind was in neutral and I began to become very aware of my heartbeat. My other senses began to heighten and I was aware of sounds and smells that I had not noticed before. As I allowed myself to come back to the present, I found I was much calmer and able to make decisions and prioritize my project list in a way that actually made sense.
Selby contends that once his techniques are practiced and mastered, a person can momentarily move into a meditative state, calm his mind and ultimately make better decisions, based on the information at hand and not be influenced by negative prior experiences.
What I have noticed is I will now drive around town without the radio on and just concentrate on being in the moment. By not surrounding myself with constant noise, I find that the thoughts that come to the surface are less negative and are usually solution oriented.
Quiet Your Mind is an interesting read and if you actually practice the exercises Selby suggests the results will be surprising.
