I like to think I'm a mindful person.
In fact so much so that I overanalyze most things I do.
This can exhaust a person!
Realizing this, I decided to take a break from writing The Yoga Lessons these past few months.
What was the main catalyst for the break?
I guess it was the last lesson I wrote of "Simplify" that got to me.
I wanted to simplify, so I took a break from my over-analytical self.
While taking this break , I have to say I did lose some of my mindfulness.
I started going with the flow more.
It found it interesting to have others telling me what they think on various topics.
Essentially my "thinking" was done for me!
I'm amazed at how easy it was for me to let the views of others take hold of my perspective. I ultimately let myself be mindless on a variety of subjects.
I guess it's part of experiencing life and letting yourself see what you like and do not like from different perspectives.
And honestly, nothing was that big of a "something", but combined and over time I found all those little somethings I was being mindless about start to irritate me.
So, I decided recently to put effort back into being more authentic and true to myself. I'm back to practicing being more mindful in all that I do.
Honestly, I'm finding it exciting! I much prefer to participate!
Vacation from thought is nice, but it's nice to feel at home in one's own skin too!
Now I'm back to being mindful and being my most authentic self.
Watch Out World! :)
