If we are conscious about what is going on for us when we are doing, and the conscious gives us joy, notice and feel what is happening. If we find we are doing something purely for someone and/or something else, we can remove ourself from the moment without realising, increasing the distance from who we are. The more we are removed, the harder it is to trust ‘ourself’. Be present in the moment and notice if it brings you closer to ‘you’ 💫🙏
"Take time to drink your tea" - a calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh
Please enjoy this extract from his book, "Answers From the Heart":
"Happiness is possible when you are capable of doing the things and being the things that you want to do and to be. When we walk for the sake of walking, when we sit for the sake of sitting, when we drink tea for the sake of drinking tea, we don’t do it for something or someone else. These things can be very enjoyable. That is the practice of aimlessness. While you do that, you heal yourself and you help heal the world. Awakening means to see that truth—that you want to know how to enjoy, how to live deeply, in a very simple way. You don’t want to waste your time anymore. Cherish the time that you are given."
