Marius Tudor Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Well , what can I say , my name is Marius and I am new in this forum.I am interested genuinely in the development of the body and mind.Thereby, I came here in order to find some answers. My first problem that I would like to adress to the fellow forum users is about the mind itself.How can I live more in the "present" and not to be distracted 24/7 from the real "problems"? Why do I always think 100 times about a future situation that happens other way that I have expected? I also wish to be more motivated , to react faster in any kind of situation (mostly social).I am also concerned of how other people think of me, but I never get to gain other people's respect.But maybe the most important issue is that I have many goals to achieve such as having a great physical condition, and getting into a good college.Since I was young I were told that I have/had good potential.I grew well till now ( I am 18 btw) but at a moment I slipped.My marks got somehow worse in this final year of school which is crucial for my college admission.For instance at the IELTS exam (english test) I got only a 7.5 mark but I know that I could have done far more better and I've also failed at my drivers license exam because of emotions and lack of preparation.I genuinely believe that the only solution to fix my problems is just work/training hard, and the only thing to do so is to set my mind.Thank you for your time and excuse me for my bad english. Â Â ps I want to learn about chi and that emotional content that people speak about! Cheers! Edited November 21, 2011 by Marius Tudor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protector Posted November 21, 2011 Slow doooooown you need to do empty mind meditation whenever you have a lot of stuff doing on, you have a storm at sea in your mind your boat will sink like that, stop all thoughts and let all the problems go at you one at a time after meditation, the sea is calm and you can go around each wave individually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protector Posted November 21, 2011 Sit in half-lotus, relax, get comfortable and don't think Just forget about thinking for a while and observe Don't focus on anything, at first you will start thinking random things and might hear things but ignore all that and just sit there until every moment seems new and everything becomes very interesting after meditation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
