"Persistence—the ability to hang in there with something difficult without turning away, to be willing to simply wait when waiting is what’s called for—is not a throwaway virtue, and it is not simply a form of passivity. Persistence is a powerful and positive virtue that can be cultivated and developed. It’s a key practice for nurturing all the qualities of maturity that we value: stability, responsibility, self-acceptance, a loving heart—all require that we persist with what we are up to, that we stick with steadfastly, without glancing off or running away."

Norman Fischer, 

Taking Our Places: The Buddhist Path to Truly Growing Up [—My teacher, Sayadaw U Tejaniya talks a lot about viriya (often translated as energy or effort), a key factor (indriya) in one’s spiritual practice, as persistence or perseverance. He also emphasizes the meaning of the word bhavana(meditation) as cultivation.] (via sharanam)

“To understand impermanence at the deepest possible level (we all understand it at superficial levels), and to merge with it fully, is the whole of the Buddhist path.”

La spirale del momento presente - Norman Fischer

La spirale del momento presente – Norman Fischer

Come mai in tutti gli studi concernenti la meditazione si attribuisce tanta importanza al momento presente? Qual è il vero segreto dell’attimo, dell’istante la cui durata è – finanche – indefinibile, di ciò che accade lì per lì per non ripresentarsi mai più identico a se stesso, in mutamento continuo secondo una spirale senza inizio né fine? Ad esser proprio sincero siffatte perifrasi sono…

"Fear is always future-based. We fear what might happen later. But the future doesn’t exist now, in the present, the only moment in which we are ever alive. So though our fear may be visceral, it is based on a misconception, that the future is somehow now. It’s not."

The secret ingredient in teaching Zen, it turns out, is the brilliant spark of human goodness in each person. Practice awakens it, and it does the rest on its own eventually. You, the teacher, just have to be willing to be there, and be surprised.

Il segreto della perseveranza - Norman Fischer

Il segreto della perseveranza – Norman Fischer

La perseveranza è il segreto di segreti, l’espediente più astuto e lungimirante per tutti coloro che sono alla ricerca del proprio sé più intimo, del nocciolo dell’esistenza, dell’apice della coscienza, dello zenit. La perseveranza è il miglior stratagemma per dipanare il bandolo della matassa esistenziale, per districarsi nel coacervo delle illusioni, delle dottrine, di ogni genere di promessa. …

How to stop thinking about someone

Have you ever found yourself constantly thinking about someone? How did you feel about their words and actions?

It is easy to focus for hours on something that hurts our children, our family, or anyone we love. We may also be able to gossip behind us or act in a confusing way. We think about the unkind, self-centered, and untrue comments of others while doing dishes, driving, or walking our dogs. We keep seeing their image and hearing their words. They are always right in front of us, no matter how far away we have been physical.

We are not referring to how we deal with abuse or trauma. These situations need professional intervention. This is how I refer to daily interactions with others that can cause mental sputtering.

How can we stop being enslaved by the thoughts of others? How can we stop thinking about other people and situations?

It might not be about the person. It could be about how you got or didn't get it, what you have and don't have, and what is wrong in your life. Sometimes you feel like someone is responsible for the problems.

This toxic cycle of thinking is harmful to your health. Studies show that ruminating can lead to an unhappy and unhealthy mind. Our monkey mind can become unhappily entangled with past events, resentments, or losses. This can lead to hormones and other harmful inflammatory stress chemicals. Scientists have identified how ruminating can lead to depression, heart disease, and other conditions like cancer. The stress chemicals that we consume are more harmful than the original cause.

You should not be able to think in toxic ways. It's like being caught on an endless, spinning, circular ride at the fair. While it was fun for a few turns, it makes you sick.

You want to escape. But you can't.

We do our best to eliminate harmful substances from our daily lives. We avoid chemicals, eat organic foods, and clean up our homes. Our minds are not made to be more environmentally friendly. Is there a green way to stop toxic thinking?

My research helped me discover insights that allowed me to stop worrying, worrying, replaying thoughts, and spinning stories about people and things.

ulness psychology leaders. These ideas should resonate most with you.

How to get someone off of your mind

My motto is "Less is More." It's smart to be less assertive when dealing with difficult and reactive people. This allows us to calm down, let go of the negative emotions, and then move on to the positive. The annoying thing will usually go away over time.

Let's just wait and see what happens next. We often think about what we should do next. Sylvia Boorstein, a Buddhist psychologist, suggests that we wait and see what happens.

Don't blame others. It's not productive to attempt to assign blame for past events (including your own). Most misunderstandings and bad events "happen" because of a series or domino effect. It is not the fault of one person. This is Sylvia Boorstein's saying that helps us remember the truth. "First, this happened. Then this happened. Then this happened. Then this happened. Then this happened. And then it happened."

Do not allow yourself to be influenced by others. This Sylvia Boorstein tip sums it up.

Your greatest problem. Norman Fischer, a Buddhist meditation instructor, said that our greatest problem is our anger. Anger can affect our ability to think rationally and work productively. Anger is the biggest problem. You must take care of yourself first. Meditate, exercise, and eat well.

Anger can lead to wrinkles in the brain. This theme is continued by Sylvia Boorstein's teaching. Madness makes it impossible to think clearly, to be creative, and to be thoughtful about how you deal with situations. She said that anger "wrinkles your mind."

Don't try to figure others out. This is another Norman Fischer lesson. Consider this: What accuracy do you think other people would be able to determine your thoughts and motivations? They wouldn't be able to determine your thoughts. It is not worth it to try and find out what others think. You are likely to be wrong. All that ruminating is a waste of time.

Thoughts are not facts. Why not treat them as such? Emotions are anxiety and fear. Emotions can be physical. This can be taken to mean that our thoughts are true. If these feelings are not true, it's difficult to feel so bad. Tsokyni Ripoche, a Tibetan Buddhist Tsokyni Rinpoche, teaches that emotions such as anger, worry, and regrets can lead to emotional hijacking. "

What can you do? Tara Brach, a psychologist and teacher, suggests that we can add to our suffering when we get angry, take offense, make judgments, or fume about how others treat us. An event + our reaction = suffering. Learning opportunities can be created when we are able to feel our emotions and ask ourselves why. Learning opportunities are events, inquiry, and present. You should focus on growth. Green, not red.

Never allow anyone to take your heart. The Tara Brach teaching speaks for itself.

Time is not your friend. Many times we look back at past events in order to determine if we could have avoided a mishap. Yesterday's events are just as relevant today as those that occurred a thousand years ago. We can't change the past or what happened last week.

Forgiveness. It happened. It was horrible. That is what makes you different. Forgiving someone is not the same as being sorry. To let go of the pain and suffering that has been caused by the past, forgiveness is essential. Kornfield said, "Please forgive me."

To calm your mind and stop worrying, use imagery. This image works for me every time: Picture yourself at the bottom of a vast ocean and watching everything pass by. Your thoughts will drift by as if you were in the calm, deep blue sea. This mantra helps me to relax.

Show them kindness and love. Wanda Lasseter-Lundy suggests that you can send them a ball of light if you are feeling overwhelmed by thoughts about someone you have hurt or who is driving you insane. The ball of light can be placed around your eyes and held there until you feel calm. It's possible. It's possible.

You can take a 90-second break. This will help you to change your thinking patterns. Neuropsychiatrist Dan Siegel says that after just 90 seconds, an emotion can rise and fall as waves on the shore. It takes just 90 seconds to change from one mood, even anger, to another. Give yourself 90 seconds to forget the situation or person. This thought cycle is broken, and your thoughts are no longer in control.
