When Living Became A Hobby
Of course, this crept up on me slowly. But with the help of Lester Levenson and Larry Crane, I simply was able to start putting things aside which had for so long been incredibly important and vital to living.
What had made me anxious and worry and angry and caused me pain – all these just dropped away as I continued to let them go. The experiment I had started some months ago has now paid off generously in an ever-present peace – which is just an extending calm which goes from one moment to the next.
It’s not that I don’t “get angry” – it just happened to me yesterday, in fact. Frustrated by my cows who had gotten out because the single-strand electric fence fell down and they simply walked over it. And they couldn’t “read my mind” and simply get back in again. Of course, when I saw that there was no logical or sensible reason for the anger – as I looked at that sudden influx of negative emotion – I was able to simply let it go, along with the desire underneath it.
Of course, I had to become responsible for what had happened. The cows all got back in as soon as they had come back from getting a drink of water in the nearby pond and joined their fellows who were eating a new lush section of fresh grass I just laid out for them.
I was just being “in a rush” and wasn’t accepting (welcoming) what was happening in that moment. The cows were just being cows. Hungry and thirsty – and always knowing that the “grass is greener on the other side.”
It did bring up the point that I’m living more and more calmly, with longer stretches between the feelings and emotions which used to give me continuous thinking and “figuring-out’s” as to why I was acting that way and why others were acting that way.
When I finally came, through practice, to the point where I could say that I had actually “attracted” or “manifested” or simply demonstrated these things into my life, I would really admire them for what they were and simply let them go – never to bother me again, at least in that incarnation.
Now, this doesn’t mean that people around me aren’t still anxious, nervous, reactive – but they aren’t (at least very much) reacting off me.
And Life/Living started to become a hobby, rather than a dire necessity.
You might have seen this in my latest Achieving Goals with Smart Releasing series. I surprised myself when I found out I was recommending people simply play at their goals and decide what they wanted to achieve, attain, acquire, become, or perform – based simply on what they were interested in. Goals dropped away as anything vital or necessary.
Because when you see that “making a 7-figure income” has become a “when” rather than an “if”, it really doesn’t matter what you select or “work at” as regards goals. Be, Do, and Have anything that suits your fancy. Or nothing at all. Live a life in the spotlights, or seclusion – it’s all in your own decisions.
Once you get beyond any fear of dying, anxiety about your own individuality, worry about what other people think about you – and especially getting off the concern about how the government is trying to control your life – then your lifetime becomes a series of pleasant interludes which merge one to the next and extend into the unforeseeable future indefinitely.
It’s even remarkable that I’ve noticed this at all. Except that it’s a very nice spring day and all the stresses of getting crops in before the rain, getting cattle fattened on grass even though it’s too dry to grow much, having a dozen things to do in order to “make a living” – since I was taking this all so mildly, I thought you might want to hear about it.
Because you can, too.
Life can become a hobby.
