Ditching fitting in

Posted on by philipdodson

Fitting in is something we feel we need to do, so much so, that even when there is no one there, we still behave in a way that would be seen to be normal.

We are afraid of being different and that fear prevents us from being our true selves. We suffer within from that fear of not fitting in, of being judged for being different and at the same time we suffer from not being who we truly are.

Perhaps it’s better to lose all the suffering…just be ourselves no matter what. Ditch fitting in and just be.

Awareness

Posted on by philipdodson

Awareness is a huge step towards growth and change.

If we are aware of our thoughts, emotions, reactions, feelings, then we are awake and conscious. It means we have realised that we are not any them, that we are the witness of those things.

The true being that we are can only flourish once we realise that we are not those things.

Being aware of our thought, feelings, reactions, and the resulting emotions enables us to be able to change them, to accept them, to stop associating our true self with them.

Inner peace comes when we are aware as it means we are conscious and have transcended the mind.
