Seeing the Funny Side of Life: Stop Taking Yourself and Everything So Seriously
Worried about Nothing Podcast 43 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 7th February 2021
~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~
Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.
Today we spoke about the heaviness and seriousness with which many are taking life at the moment. How people are fixating on rigidly trying to control their environments, thoughts, emotions and self-(and outwardly projected)-image, and when things don't go the way they want or believe things should be, they are having tantrums and breakdowns - emotionally, mentally and in other ways.
We talked about how there can be humour and lightness in stepping back, and being able to see and understand that it's all just crap floating to the surface to be cleared. None of it is to be taken overly seriously, none of it is real. And that it's actually really amusing when you see how pompously and overly-seriously we can take ourselves and the wrapped layers of identification we pretend or believe that we are.
We discussed how freeing it is when you let go of the self beliefs you hold, about being good at things, being a 'nice' person, being special in any way, being the most loved, the most popular, the best at anything - and that when you acknowledge that you are none of those things, it leaves you free to just live your life, and laugh and love and feel the joy.
