The Practicing Mind is engaged and connected. It is deliberate in action, not perfect. It is focused, in the moment. It has intention, active and moving forward. It has patience, balanced and calm. Achievement is realized as a successful journey. http://bauerpt.com

3. The Practicing Mind
Focus:
Embrace the moment. Experience a shift in finding happiness in the "process of achieving"
rather than the goal itself.
When this happens there is a relief of stress and anxiety that comes with Not Having the
Goal.
Enjoy the Journey.

Patience is a virtue. necessary for achievement in Your pursuits. There must be patience in
our own actions, as well as others, and life itself.
The Lack of Patience, Impatience, is not being in the moment.

Get comfortable with staying in the present. Your mind will tell you otherwise.

Equanimity is an even-temperedness and calmness.
Don't Think, React, with non-judgment. This quiets the internal dialogue that disrupts
patience.
