Take a Vacation From Yourself Today
Don't you ever feel exasperated with your self? We're trapped in these heads with these thoughts and beliefs that seem to have a mind of their own. No matter how mindful you are, you're still exasperated with yourself at points.
We're always trying to get somewhere. We're always trying to be better, purer, richer, etc, etc, etc ad infinitum. It's exhausting being ourselves - always pushing, trying to make more money- more, more, more, more, more. Heal, heal, heal, heal, heal. Be more loving, look better in our jeans, be a better mother, feel better about ourselves.
Incessant self focus drives us crazy.
Today.....
Forget all that.
What if we just forgot all that?
What if we just forget ourselves? What if we fade away into the background of our lives and appreciate what happens around us? What if we put our focus outside of ourselves instead of constantly inside?
Incessant self focus.
What if we fade into the background. Ahhh. I feel relief just at the thought, don't you?
This life is abundant. This planet is abundant. It's a playground for us. There are smiles everywhere and universes walking around wrapped up in their own universes. There are trees having their own experience and squirrels having theirs, and we're all doing it together in this vast interplay. We've forgotten that we're part of it. Just as the trees are provided for, we're provided for. We're part of nature, too. Our ego and feeling of separateness from nature is both what makes human existence absolutely exhilarating and special and also insufferable. Because of the power of our consciousness and focus we can just decide not to focus on ourselves today.
Our selves are exhausting, aren't they? Aren't you sick of your self? How about something new? How about experience? How about that you're part of all of this, and it's part of you?
Forget yourself. Fade away into your experience and what you see going on around you. You'll find peace and tranquility in this, and you'll find that you're provided for just as the trees are. It's because we separate ourselves mentally from nature that we're not simply provided for. We're all provided for by nature and just as nature is but we've lost that faith.
Let your nature blend with the nature around you. Become one with it rather than separate from it again.
Get lost in the experience of mothering instead of being a mother. Experience writing instead of being the writer.
Fade away.
Forget yourself today.
Whenever we try to "make things better" we are actually still blind to our Light's inherent Perfection. "Better" or "worse" imply differences and comparison, and as soon as we do that we indulge in duality once more. Our ego is never happy. Why? Because the entire purpose of it is to create Separation, thus it cannot be happy, for Happiness is a feeling and belongs to Being, an act of Oneness.
Good reminder, thank you ;)
Excellent post. Thanks s lot.
This is well explained, a concept which we generally dont give too much thought to... But really and truthfully, we need to focus less on ourselves as human beings trying to make something out of life, and focus more on our creator, whom we should seek to please by occupying most of our thought times with thoughts of HIM.

Nice place, nice photography.... Always be success for youuu
I LOVE this! I would totally love to forget myself for a day and just blend in with nature. I look forward to hearing more from you~
Looking forward to seeing you around!
Terrific post, I identify a lot, realistic view you have ! I always try to detach myself from my brain. Too much thinking is bad, you're right. We're made to live with nature first and understand our free-spirited soul.
It certainly makes life more pleasant!
