More you practice being in the present, mind will do all it can to take your attention away from it. Its cause present moment is its death. Here are a few structure-less practices to anchor to the now. Experiment to see which practices come most naturally and easier to you at a given moment.   Can you allow and accept the thoughts, emotions, reactions to be? Can you accept or become aware of the Now? Can you feel the aliveness or inner energy field in your body? Your hands, legs, neck, feet, chest and so on.   Can you become aware of the sensations from the sense perceptions? Your heartbeat? Your surrounding? Sensation of touch from place you are sitting? Objects around? Sounds? Can you become aware of your breath? Can you become aware of 'Awareness'? Read How to Practice 'Wheel of Awareness' Meditation and How to Stay Rooted in Being for more insight on these practices. Can you become aware of the space where thoughts, emotions, reactions, sensations, images, sounds come and go? You are that space of 'no thought.' or awareness Here's another pointer: Who is aware of the sensations or tensions in your body? Who knows or sees the unhappy emotions or unease in you? Who is aware of the thoughts or emotions that come and go? It's the ever-present I Am, the experiencer, without which there will be no experience. It's fine if you didn't, and your mind may be reacting with things like 'This article is stupid,' 'What is this?', 'I'm a loser,' 'I can't stop thinking,' 'The author is a moron,' etc. That's not you. It's your mind in its habituated resistive mode, reacting to these pointers. Don't give it reality. Just allow it to be. Your presence or awareness is more than capable of dissolving the phantom self (Ego) pretending to be you. Read How to Practice 'Wheel of Awareness' Meditation for more depth.   If something deeper in you responds to these words then the process of awakening has begun. That's why don't just read with your mind, but pay attention to any deeper feeling responses. Once you learn of the basic dysfunction i.e identification with mind then there's nothing further you need to understand before you can be free of the Ego. It's very possible that in the future the mind or pain body will take you over and push you into state of suffering, despair and unconsciousness. But remember, suffering can either push you deeper into more unconsciousness or it can become your greatest teacher to enlightenment. Be aware. Stay present. Deeply realize that suffering has a noble purpose. According to a Buddhist saying, "All suffering is illusion." It is true. The question is: Is it true for you? Are you truly fed up of pain and suffering though? Are you ready to wake up?
Summary: Move deeply into the Now. Realize that 'You' are consciousness.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Breaking bad habits is a process that involves looking closely at your behavior and trying to determine what triggers your bad habit. However, you can break bad habits by identifying the things that trigger your habit, learning how to break the cycle, and rewarding yourself when it works.  You can also develop a plan to help you deal with your triggers.  Choose a good time to try to break a habit. It might be easier to try to break a bad habit while you are on vacation. Although it might not be possible to wait to break a habit until you go on vacation, you might at least want to choose a time when you are not too stressed to work on breaking a bad habit. Try to be patient. Keep in mind that it can take anywhere from 18 to 66 days to break a habit. Don’t become discouraged if you find it difficult to break the habit at first. Remember to reward yourself. If you’ve had a great day where you did really well in your new habits and routines, praise yourself and give yourself a reward. Maybe eat a bowl of ice cream or go see a movie. Little rewards can affirm your progress, and they teach your brain to associate these new routines with pleasure. Perhaps you are struggling in a new career or you want to make a difference in your community. Ask an experienced person in that area to mentor you. Meet once a week or month to discuss your goals. Your mentor will share the struggles that they faced getting to the point where they are now. They can give you advice on your own hurdles and help you realize your potential. As you reinvent yourself, talk to your close friends about your progress. Tell them the kind of person you want to be, and as you face success and failure, talk through your thoughts and feelings. Good friends will provide positive affirmation, and a strong support group can increase your chances of success. If your friends tell you that you don’t need to change, try not to listen to them. They may have good intentions, but if you are unhappy with your current state of being, such advice can be discouraging. Thank them for their concern, but emphasize that this is something you want to continue. True friends will remain with you through the journey.
Summary: Break bad habits Find a mentor. Form a support group.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When your nose runs, it may be due to sickness (which will likely be accompanied by other symptoms of a "cold," such as sore throat, cough, etc), being upset (when we cry, excess water from our tears drains through the nose), or cold weather (as our nasal passages are designed to heat the air before it reaches our lungs, and in order to do so your nose produces extra fluid in the cold weather). It may also be related to allergies, irritants in your environment (such as smoke), or a side effect of certain medications. When you breathe through your nose, your sinuses warm and moisten the air by swirling it around the mucous membranes that line the passages. This prevents you from irritating your lungs and throat with air that is cooler than your body temperature.  Water is a by-product of this process and the excess runs down the back of your throat and out your nose.  Your sinuses perform this function year round, but because of the temperature difference in cooler weather (especially in wintertime) it is more pronounced in the cold. Therefore, they are nothing to get overly worried about. They are so common, in fact, that sometimes it is called "skier's nose" due to the fact that nearly 100% of competitive snow sport athletes complain about runny nose!  A runny nose from the cold is NOT related to an illness (and not related to the "common cold.") Although many people believe there is a link between cold weather and "catching a cold," this is thought to be due to spending more time indoors where people's germs are more readily passed to one another (and is not thought to be related so much to the cold outside).
Summary:
Be aware of possible diagnoses. Understand why your nose runs when it's cold. Know that runny noses from the cold are extremely common.
