I Am Breathing In
So, here's the thing. I'm a super anxious person with a mind that won't quit...ever. I worry about stuff, I psyche myself out of things by overthinking and by brain simply just won't shutup. I've read about people who can live in the moment and I often think how glorious that would be to never lose sleep over anything. I've tried saying to myself "I am breathing in, I am breathing out" but immediately, not even a half second later my mind starts to race. I know for a fact, you can shut off your brain, walking around the streets of Edmonton has shown me that several people know how to do this, although, I think for alot of them, it isn't intentional either. I need to know HOW! How do I control this over active mind to allow myself not to worry about every darn thing and just allow myself to be content with what I am doing NOW?!

Practice! I am the same way, it's taken years of practice clearing my mind- at first it only lasts seconds but you get better at it. Keep it up, you'll get there.

Focus more on the breathing out... and release all your thoughts at that time, just let it all go - the air, the thoughts and the emotions. Like Sifu Prince said, just practice. Even if you only clear your mind for 1 second, practice and soon you will get to 2 seconds... Not like I am an expert, my record is 3 seconds ;-)
