Sometimes, if not all of the time, we have so many things to do. The idea of stopping for a moment feels unbearable! Everything is going so fast. We also tend to be overstimulated with information.
It is as if we were stuck underwater. Such a situation is unlikely to happen, but imagine. We keep swimming there, again and again. It feels like we cannot stop! We have to keep swimming. And we cannot see very well, and it is hard, but we keep swimming anyway. So, we become stuck in this swimming pattern. We keep going, because we think we have to. Indeed, we do not realise that there is one other possibility.
Because we can stop. Just for a moment. We have the possibility of going out of the water. Once we are there, we can take a deep breath and look around. This allows us to ask the good questions.
Where am I? And where am I going?
Where do I really want to go? How? What do I want to do in order to arrive there?
