A big theme of my life has been allowing to sit in the presence of peace and contentment. A lot of what I’ve observed with humanity is there always has to be a present problem. Whether that is dealings with partnerships, money, health, meaning, purpose… and not only do we become consumed by our own problems but we also take on others problems and we spend so much energy comparing ourselves to another or observing another’s life or experience. We willingly displace our energy in the past even if it was just yesterday or we have such anxiety for the future that we project our energy into obsessively planning for what’s to come or a distant longing for some hypothetical fantasy.
I’ve been practicing not displacing my energy anywhere other than now. It’s interesting greeting that emptiness with the awareness of simply I’m choosing to be at peace right now.
