Attachments

Some of the things I am definitely attached to...health, having energy, and happiness. I like to feel well, and this is a challenge with a health condition. So I am trying to learn to connect to a deeper state of consciousness AND feel unwell at the same time. And I am attached to energy. I really dislike feeling fatigued. It makes me grumpy and irritable with everyone around me. One of the things I am still learning is that I need to respect my need for rest. This is related to my attachment to DOING and BEING SOMEBODY. One of my favorite books is Being Nobody, Going Nowhere....how do you like that in Western culture? Of course I continually want to be someone, and go somewhere! My illness is teaching me a new way of being. Slow process for sure. But, when we are flexible and recognize the changing nature of things, including health and happiness, we can be free!
