Action & Activity Hides the Real ME

Action & Activity Hides the Real ME

Many people lead busy lives, or at least think that they do.

Some genuinely want to pack in as much into life as possible. Whilst this is commendable when done for the right reasons, being Action Man and Action Woman all the time can be a cover for deep unhappiness or loneliness. This includes spending hours in front of a computer or television.

This is not the sole reserve of “singles”. Many couples fill the diary with so many activities, together or apart, to avoid the reality that they no longer have much in common, have a superficial relationship without intimacy or are just not comfortable spending time together, and probably should not be together.

Why am I here? Who am I?

I don’t mean the person who works at x, plays sport at y, and lives with z, and drives a …. car.

I mean the real ME, the Soul, the Higher Spirit. The answers to this are inside each of us and are only found through silence, meditation and looking inwards. Being in nature can help the internal search, but not as part of a talking group. Constant action and activity does not allow us to find the REAL ME.

Finding the real ME can be a person’s Spiritual Journey. It can also identify whether one is running away from reality, loneliness, an unfulfilling relationship. unsatisfactory life situation or even being a workaholic. It can clarify what is important for each person. It can lead to finding the right life partner, or to a satisfying solo life, happy with the REAL person inside.

Learn to LOVE YOURSELF, the REAL ME, then you can love others without possessing them, or clinging to them, for your own needs.

What is MY TRUTH? What are my core beliefs?

Do I live my life acting in harmony with my core beliefs – IN BALANCE?

Or are my actions out of harmony with my core beliefs – OUT OF BALANCE?

True happiness and contentment will not be found until balance is achieved. Without balance and contentment, there is frustration, pain and dis-ease. Perhaps each day the heart aches because you are not where you want to be, or are reluctant to let go and move from the cause of the pain.

Daily meditation, silent time, ME time are all recommended, together with the practice of yoga, tai-chi, or similar activities, not just for the physical exercise, but to study and follow the philosophy and lifestyle on which the physical practice is based.

The result will be a happy, balanced ME – YOU.
