It is truly amazing to sit at a coffeeshop sipping on coffee, while at the same time experiencing glorious feelings of bliss.
I wonder why it happens so often that I just forget about this. It's so easy - sit down, relax, breathe. And yet, when you're entangled in your web of thoughts, you just don't realize that you could feel better right now, if you wanted to.
One word of warning - what it does NOT do is make me more sociable. It's a shame, really, and I would have expected it to - after all, if you're more relaxed and more easygoing, it should also become easier to talk to people. Instead, it makes me more calm - which is fine and dandy, but not quite what I came here for.
Anyway, it's not like somebody could force me to practice, or like I had no choice. The moment you feel that this is not leading you were you want to go - just do something else!
I think if you want to be more sociable then just take some baby steps and work your way up. Set a goal each week and step up to it.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is a good thing that is not what I am looking into it for. :)
ReplyDeleteJust because you are calmer doesn't mean you want to talk to others.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great feeling, at some point we must sit and reflect on the days taking and plan for the future and our happiness.
