RE: What Turns You On?

in #philosophy8 years ago

As always, I enjoyed reading.

I do think you are on to something here. I remember being told years ago that reality is only one's perception of it therefore changing how you feel about a certain thing or activity actually changes your reality.

I liked your examples of the things you dislike and wonder if changing how you view these tasks will have an impact on the reality of doing them.

My example - Changing the bed sheets, especially the pillow cases is something I find frustratingly difficult but if I focus on how great it feels to get into a freshly made bed then the task of changing the sheets becomes less annoying, even morphing into a kind of excitement (not sexual excitement you understand lol) and the job is quickly accomplished.

Anyway, I just thought I'd comment.

Thanks for sharing my friend, always interesting :D

Sort:  

been thinking about this concept that you state here: "reality is only one's perception of it therefore changing how you feel about a certain thing or activity actually changes your reality." a lot lately in terms of just about everything and have high hopes for the shifts... be well Tim and thanks for commenting!

Excellent!!
I wish you all the very best with it. It is much easier to write down than it is to implement; I started with it about a year and a half ago and little by little it has brought about some profound, and satisfying changes.

Much love

so right you are - that it's easier to write about than to do - it's certainly a process and the changes even if small are indeed very satisfying. be well!
