Executing Your Will



The sum total of all your worldly possessions will be disposed of by your will.   You spend your life gathering and accumulating and then after you’re gone, it all gets distributed pursuant to your wishes.  This may be one of the few times in your life – well sort of – when you call the shots. 


Ask yourself whether you are calling the shots now.  Remember those donuts you weren’t going to eat, the e-mail to which you were going to reply,  and that follow-up conversation you were going to do today?  What happened?  If it didn’t happen, who made the decision?  Who executed your will? 


The heart of mindfulness practice is learning to place your attention where you choose and hold or sustain your awareness in this place.  The more you practice doing so, the more expert you will become at it.  You brain will literally change each time you do.  And, not surprisingly,  each time you give in to an impulse – anything from acquiescing to “Come on, let’s go get a drink.”  when you had planned on getting home or finishing reviewing a document, or incessantly checking your e-mail --  your brain will change and reinforce that behavior.
