Why am I doing this? Why am I feeling that? Why am I experiencing this? Why am I holding onto this belief? Why? Why? Why? So often the choices I am making in my day are those of an automatic nature. I brush my teeth. I comb my hair. I put my clothes on. I pray. What if I became conscious? Conscious of everything I am doing? How would I behave differently?
Let me slow down and experience life as it is meant to be. I’ll begin by being deliberate in my breathing. I feel the difference already. Now I feel an energy coursing through my being; a feeling of being alive, such as I have never felt before. Now, I understand what it feels like to be present. Now I experience the gift of conscious choice. I’ve got this.
