Where does your life exist? And how do you know that you are living?
Is it because you are breathing? Or maybe because you sense consciousness … on most days? Or perhaps it’s because you have a memory of events that have taken place in your life?
Living is all of the things, and more. Life actually exists with the experience you have every moment. The essence of human existence occurs in experiencing it. There’s no other way to describe it.
So then why do we AVOID experiencing our life? We dull pain with drugs, avoid emotions through busy-ness and minimize risk by playing it safe.
Action – There’s only one exercise I can suggest now. Right this second, what are you experiencing? Can you name the feeling? Do you sense your feet on the ground or bum on the seat? What are you thinking? Where in your life are you?
And are you brave enough to avoid your avoidance?
