Oh, you mean don’t believe the comment by the dark side about “useless eaters?“ How deeply that is still ingrained. The contradiction is feeling the empty space when someone dies. How reality has to reassemble itself, because that particular energy field is gone. That energy field that made such a difference, whether near or far. Thanks for pointing this out again. I am with you. “Being “who we are with a certain frequency is the most impactful“act“ that we can *be* not do.
I’m happy to hear you’re finding you way in this arena too.
I probably am disappearing, by some folks’ standards, but I like my quiet life. We rarely have guests anymore, but if you can’t find me, I likely have my feet up and am reading… romance, because I love love in all forms. I’m very good at being still most of the time.
I am cutting that loop little by little with every thought of mine that I am able to catch and re-examine. I’ve been so programmed (I think we all have) to believe my worth is tied to my productivity. To believe that I am only valuable when I’m running around and staying busy. I’m lazy if I don’t perform. I am not valuable if I’m not constantly “on”.
I was even using my spiritual practice to beat myself up with if I didn’t meditate every day. I am tired of living my life by metrics and check-lists. My value is intrinsic as a human being who is living on this planet right now.
As I said to a friend the other day, we are human-beings not human-doings.
When I get still in my body and my breath, I can catch those thoughts. It’s a gift when I do because I feel like every time I have the chance to reframe my thinking, I’m a little bit closer to peace and truth that I am valuable just as I am.
Because I wanted to bear witness to what happened to me when as I attempted to live my day without posting. I felt like others might benefit from the insight I discovered
The Wasting Time one rings true over here. For me, I notice a lot of this around activities that I enjoy least. For example, if I’m honest, I may have spent the day…ruminating, reading, etc. but it doesn’t get “counted.”
For example (dammit!), doing THIS is not a waste of time!! 😜
The "I'm lazy" is the indictment that hits me hardest. I tend to ruminate; I like to take time thinking things over, trying to understand my situation and myself. The outcomes from this things tend to help me. But often I feel guilty, I should be doing more and reflecting less, even though the reflection leads to better outcomes. I feel that I'm not *doing* anything, not because I'm trying to figure things out, but because "I'm lazy and don't want to work." Help!

Just curious— why did you post when you had already said that you were not going to post and were taking two days away from work?

In your opinion, do you think this is mainly an American problem, or do you think this issue is universal among women worldwide?
I have scimmed the surface re: other countires, so I am not an expert. But I do glean is this is a problem unique to the USA.
