Something to consider before getting to the content of the present post.
Now O’ Clock; Being Mindful, it Always is. This title hints at what the plot could be about. The book’s theme is mostly based on the significance and benefits of living in the present and of thinking about “energy management” as doable, and of “time management” as something that simply cannot be done. The author, William Garcia, believes we can no more manage the weather than we could manage Time. He nevertheless suggest that you think of the idea of “time management” as merely a mental tool and nothing more.
OF MAN AND FISH
Fish do not get water, and Man do not get air. Each is born in its own element. Just the same, Man nor Fish get Time, they’re born in it – WG
Living by these words makes his life easier, simpler and more manageable.He also encourages readers, or listeners for that matter, to learn about and start practicing mindfulness meditation. It will, in a positive way, change their perspective about Time, Life and living.
Now O’ Clock; Being Mindful, it Always is, takes you on the inspiring journey toward the enlightened mindfulness of “being” in the moment and staying there long enough to be awakened to the mindless and stressful pace the Beast has set, and how, in insidious ways, it controls our daily lives. We already know the Beast as a “what,” not a “who”. Who, is what it has conditioned us to “be”.
In the book, the author introduces you to the Beast.

Self-created ego causes many people to sabotage themselves
There are a variety of ways to stop yourself from sabotaging yourself. One simple way is to stop thinking about what you want to achieve. Try keeping a journal of the thoughts and behaviors that trigger your sabotage. Once you identify those triggers, creating new and more productive reactions is time. Mindfulness is an important tool for self-improvement and can be cultivated in any setting.
Self-sabotage is often motivated by low self-esteem or warped beliefs about one’s capabilities. While some people may be simply lacking in abilities, other people’s low self-esteem stems from an ego-driven sense of worth. Traumatic events in one’s life can cause a damaged sense of self-worth, disabling one’s connection to their true nature – the essence of light, love, and expansive capacities.
Accepting the present moment
To live in the present, you must not be emotionally invested in the past or future. Past and future are simply information, knowledge, and projections of possibilities. There are many methods to achieve this, but the common theme is focused attention. Here are some ways to practice being present. You may also want to consider observing the actions and reactions of others. You should try a meditation or hypnosis session if you feel like over analyzing your surroundings.
To live in the present moment, let go of your expectations and accept the reality around you. We cannot control everything around us, which is not always as planned. But practicing acceptance will teach us to let go of things we cannot control. Once we learn how to accept life as it is, we will be able to enjoy it more. Whether we like it or not, we must not compare it to what we had planned.
Entering a state of flow
Entering a flow state is a skill you can learn to enhance your performance. It is a state of complete focus and engrossment when the usual chatter in your mind dissolves, leaving you in a non-distracted zone. The first step is to identify a challenge. If your goal is to enter a flow state, choose something difficult but not impossible. Otherwise, you’ll become bored and overwhelmed and never reached the level of subconscious competence you seek.
Finding tasks that are challenging yet within your skill level is essential. You’ll have to take risks to enter the flow state, but they don’t have to be dangerous. Just make sure you’re putting yourself in a situation where you control the outcome. This way, you’ll be more likely to achieve flow. By finding challenges you’re passionate about, you’ll become more likely to experience flow.
Active waiting as a tool to enter a state of flow
Active waiting is a technique for entering a state of flow that allows us to be fully present in our tasks and is a useful way to practice mindfulness. Active waiting involves creating an environment that is quiet, unhurried, and free from distraction. Active waiting is a natural way to enter the flow state that many people experience, and it also promotes focus, allowing us to enjoy the moment fully.
