Struggle for Consistency

One of the biggest things we as humans seek in life is consistency. We try daily to establish this. However, many of us never achieve it. It is because we need more programming to do so. Let it be known it can be trained, though. We can establish consistency little by little. One way to be consistent is to be consistent with ourselves by practicing meditation. Sitting for 10-20 minutes a day is a good start. No special meditation is done here; we observe the rising and falling of our breath. You may also notice the sensations that arise in the body, like pain or unbearableness. Lastly, we may take notice of the passing of thoughts, but we must avoid getting attached to any of these. Being present to observe them all simultaneously is the ultimate goal. Once we build a daily practice, we can extend this mindfulness (or awareness) to other areas, becoming more consistent. Consistency is a byproduct of mindfulness, whereas our states of consciousness become more and more easily accessed and channeled.
