Hi everyone,
Lately I have become aware of the fact that I reside the majority of the time, in my internal realms.
It's not even necessarily that I "reside" there all the time, obviously, because I have to feed myself and stuff like that. It's just that I put more weight on the internal work than the external work. It's "more important." Which is hogwash, from where I am standing.
Imbalance! Imbalance!
Through the catalyst of a close relationship I have, I learned that, man, I am only responsible for my own actions, and this internal/external imbalance is really making everything difficult for myself and others. So what to do about it?
"Just do it" I know, I know. It seems so easy yet feels so hard. Though, I have a hunch that it's the emotions I react to, thus making it "hard," and the actual "doing" isn't as bad as it may seem.
I'm curious, has anyone here been met with this imbalance before? Is there anything that helped you "ease" into the real world?
It feels really difficult. I suspect I am overwhelming myself with what I could be doing, and that's make me sort of neurotic. "Okay, I can start practicing asanas, I can really buckle down on this music project, oh I also wanted to start this movie script too...... man that sounds like way too much to handle, never mind."
I know it feels difficult, but is it? I don't think so. I'd still like to hear what some of you might have to say on the subject
