Just some random musings...
Most of the time in Life we are running on autopilot. We have bills to pay, families to take care of, bodies to maintain, bosses to appease... The mind is quite busy just trying to juggle what needs to get done. Very few of us take the time to slow down. There just seems to be no time for that.
By doing this, we are painting ourselves into a narrow corner. Caught within that tightness of mind spawns our anxieties, our depressions, our mental anguish.
We become like hamsters on a wheel, trying to escape the dark reaches of our own minds, but never getting anywhere.
The key takeaway is to Realize that there is a way to step off the hamster wheel.
There is an internal Observer that is watching you struggle in this very moment.
To know we are on that hamster wheel- there must be a Witnessing of how tedious and tired Life has become.
Start to Observe everything you experience.
Observation is not a new task. Observation is just to Realize there's an Awareness that Sees what we Perceive and Conceive.
You have been running on fumes for too long.
Observation provides that needed Space in which We can rest. Take the time each day to practice Being Aware of whatever is in front of You. There is no secret to this. Just Be Aware of whatever IS. Don't minimize the power of Observation. It WILL change the entire way Life is experienced.
You deserve to give yourself this place of Refuge.
Observe. Observe. Observe.
