I’ve been talking to a lot of people, and this interesting question comes up every time we talk about laziness, procrastination, and all the other shit that stops us :Are you feeling the emotion, or are you observing it through your consciousness? For most of my life, I thought I was feeling these emotions, when in reality, my body was feeling them, and I was simply aware of them. Now, I know this might sound like some weird shit, but think of it as a shift in perspective. If you feel awful and don’t want to do the work, or you’re upset because someone rejected your offer, recognize that you’re simply observing the feeling. You shouldn’t let it control how you perceive life. In short: become the observer, not a slave to your emotions.
