A little story about ‚doing nothing' 😊
I have a big trip coming up in a few days, the first one in 5 years. Because of my pain issues I didn’t dare to go on a longer journey for a while. It all felt way too exhausting and insecure. And, there would be a lot of thinking and planning ahead involved. Even in very short trips, thoughts like ‚what will I do when my pain flares up?' and 'will I find a possibility to lie down and relax?’ and on and on...
So this morning a thought came up, ‚If I would feel like I’m feeling right now, would I be able to manage the long
journey?’
And, you know what, I realized it was the first time in weeks for a thought like this to even come to my mind. And instead of engaging in a whole lot of thinking about it, I ‚saw‘ this thought -
and it seemed kind of unreal and absurd to me. I didn’t have any motivation to engage in it. And so, it just passed.
The great thing about it is: I didn’t do anything for this to happen 😃
No reframing past experiences with pain and travelling, no affirmations that I'll be fine on my journey... nothing. So, by sharing this I want to encourage anyone who is struggling with the
notion of ‚doing nothing‘ -
of getting no technique or prescription or homework around here. Learning about the three principles is really ‚enough‘ for change to happen, and for new insights to come to you from your own
inner wisdom ❤️
