1 - Be Present in the Moment

• "Wherever you are, be all there"
• - Jim Elliot
• Whatever you are doing, do just that. If you are
  cutting vegetables, just cut vegetables. If you
  are driving your car, just drive your car. Don't
  allow your thoughts to take you anywhere other
  than the present. That "thing" that happened
  yesterday and that "thing" that might happen
  tomorrow are just thoughts. Unless you're in
  physical pain, more than likely those things
  aren't really affecting you now.

2 - Learn to Let Go

• "The most difficult aspect of moving on is
  accepting that the other person already
  did." - Faraaz Kazi
• The easiest way to get over the past is to stop
  thinking about it. Thoughts are one of the things
  in life that you can learn to control. If you
  aren't thinking about it, it doesn't exist. You
  don't have to forget how someone wronged you, but
  you dont have to spend the rest of your life
  dwelling on the pain they caused either.

3 Become the Observer

• "You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have
  a body."
• - C. S. Lewis
• Your thoughts and feelings are NOT you. You are
  the one who notices the way they make you feel
  the one who hears the voice in your head. Learn
  to listen to that voice, feel the feelings and
  simply observe your thoughts. The more you
  practice this, the more you will be able to
  disengage from life's discomforts and simply
  watch the show.

After becoming the observer, it's time to

4 Notice Your Ego

• "Starve your ego, feed your soul"
• - unknown
• As you learn to be more of an observer, you will
  be better equipped to recognize your ego. You
  will notice the many masks, constructed by your
  ego, which have falsely defined you. Eventually,
  you will peel these masks off, shed your
  false-self, and unveil the real you.

Once your ego is under control, you will be free

5 Surrender

• "Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have
  faith in what will be."
• - Sonia Ricotti
• To surrender in this instance does not mean to
  fail, but to accept what is. If you dont like
  something, change it. If you can't change it,
  learn to accept it. When you surrender, it's
  easier to change your perception of what's going.
  You will be more in-tune and able to learn the
  lessons that life is trying to teach you.

Spiritual Enlightenment

• "Enlightenment is not a change into something
  better or more, but a simple recognition of who
  we truly, already are."
• - unknown
• Remember that true spiritual enlightenment is not
  a destination, but a state of mind that you adopt
  while on your journey through this life. It's
  finding out how to learn lessons instead of being
  the victim of circumstance. It's discovering who
  you truly are and embracing it, expressing it.

• Spiritual enlightenment isn't something one
  typically pursues just for fun. It's likely that
  something profound happened. You felt something
  something new, something special. You want to
  know what that "thing" was and you want to learn
  how to feel it again.
• This means youve found your path and the more
  you learn, the closer you are to becoming
  spiritually enlightened. You are one step closer
  to peace, to happiness, and a greater
  understanding of your existence. As you are no
  longer cursed with the burden of judgment, you
  become free to objectively view the world around
  you instead of giving everything a label. You
  begin to feel connected with everything and
  everyone that once felt foreign or distant. You
  feel the oneness and begin to understand what it
  truly means to be -
