Feeling More Wholeness In Our Lives
Focusing more on how we feel and less on doing or getting can give us more wholeness and life satisfaction.
Although we describe different things we want to do or have because we believe they will make us whole, wholeness is in fact a feeling rather than a doing or getting. Since we have quite a bit of influence over how we feel, wholeness rests largely in our own hands.
How do we feel wholeness?
While wholeness is a feeling, there are actions we can take to create the feeling. We can state specifically that for which we are grateful. We can be content with who we are and what we have. We can accept what is and concurrently do what we can to create what we want, while releasing attachment to outcome.
How do we make wholeness a habit?
Practice. Practice. Practice some more. We get better at what we want to accomplish when we practice. If we want to learn a foreign language, we don’t expect to become fluent by learning one word a month. Rather, we immerse ourselves. By practicing, practicing, practicing gratitude, contentment, acceptance, detachment, and creating, we immerse ourselves in wholeness. Life gets better. We get better. We become fluent. We feel wholeness.
What is wholeness?
Suggested Action
For today, write one thing for which you are grateful. Note one moment where you felt contentment, acceptance or detachment. Write one item you created that gave you joy. Sit quietly and ponder whether these actions make you feel more whole.
