To avoid being overwhelmed by powerful emotions… focus on the sensations of your body instead ! #attachment #emotions #regret #habits #resilience #connection

We miss out on so much in life… because we attach or ‘grasp too tightly’. We become ‘attached’ in some way to people or material things. We have become habituated or addicted to living this way. We have become ‘addicted to life!’ Background information on this theme is available in Part 1 and Part 2 of this blog. In Part 3 we now continue a discussion of ‘what we miss out on’ and why we miss out? WE CHOOSE TO POSSESS OR ‘HAVE THINGS’, RATHER THAN ‘JUST BE’ OUR TRUE SELF. We

Others might see us as being in control, polished and sometimes even clever. OUTWARDLY, WE CAN APPEAR SO CONFIDENT & SUCCESSFUL. That’s however ‘a mask’: just our usual practiced responses and our deeply ingrained habits. INWARDLY WE FEEL EMPTY AND UNFULFILLED. Inside, we are unhappy & discontent. We are in inner turmoil with needs that we can’t quite recognize. WE YEARN FOR A DEEP INNER PEACE. We have not yet found what we truly need. Deep within us there exists a need – a

When we REACT through STRESS we contract & diminish. When we RESPOND through LOVE we blossom and grow. #attachment #challenges #emotions #egomind #habits #lifecrisis #regret #selfsabotage #stress

CHOOSE to live LOVINGLY, whatever the circumstances and whatever might arise in you. #challenges #egomind #emotions #enlightenment #gameoflife #gratitude #habits #lifecrisis #lifetest #regret #starting #stress #suffering

In any moment we can choose to pause and change our thinking. We can stop a downwards spiral. #attachment #awareness #challenges #contemplation #discernment #cynicism #egomind #emotions #habits #higherconsciousness #lifecrisis #regret #selfsabotage #suffering

Attachment glues thoughts together so they all stack up to fence us in. #attachment #challenges #codependence #contemplation #cynicism #egomind #lifecrisis #regret #selfsabotage #suffering #stress

RADIATE the ENERGY of what you truly want. Don’t PROPAGATE what you FEAR. #cynicism #codependence #attachment #egomind #emotions #habits #regret #selfsabotage #stress #wellbeing #suffering

When we IGNORE our role as a CHANNEL for universal LOVE... we FEEL the consequence of living without love. #attachment #awakening #connection #emotions #suffering #wellbeing #stress #regret #selfsabotage #lifecrisis #humanity #giving #gratitude

We have such good intentions for our life. This includes our health, work and relationships. We usually want to do the right thing. To do what we inwardly know to be right. To maximize our potential. But somehow it slowly seems to go astray! It all seems much harder to do. We end up delaying or postponing our dreams. Our plans just don’t turn out as we had hoped. Along the way, something seems to have subtly undermined what we had really intended. Is success in life purely d

In our day to day lives … what is it that we do so wrong? We MANIFEST our ADDICTIVE and CODEPENDANT BEHAVIOUR! We BECOME ATTACHED to so many things. Let’s look at how this might this present or manifest in our lives… Instead of holding Life so gently and lovingly in ‘our hands’, like a delicate flower…we DESPERATELY ATTACH to those things we perceive to be ours or potentially beneficial to us. Metaphorically speaking, we GRAB at Life as with a flower, and GRASP on to it so fi

We miss out on so much in life because we grasp it all so tightly, and guard it so intensely. For added security, like a precious painting, we even lock it away out of view. We HIDE AWAY that same Beauty that gave it its value. By doing this, WE DENY OURSELVES THE LASTING HAPPINESS OF SHARING SUCH BEAUTY WITH ALL OTHERS. We also no longer can easily see it! We limit ourselves or others to temporary pleasures or fleeting glimpses of our prize, for we fear it being taken. Wi
