The Habit of Overdoing

The Union Path

It's easy to fall into patterns of living life according to external measures of success, striving for completion and ignoring our own feelings and needs. Making choices that put us in circumstances we didn't want to be in, pursuing the "should" instead of what we want. This chronic overachieving and overdoing is often rooted in a discomfort with ourselves.

One thing we can realize is that a lot of this, if not most of this, is created via some sort of internal conflict. To solve this problem, we have to get to know ourselves better and work through our beliefs. We can find that when he embrace who we are, bringing our full selves into situations, we can be able to let go of comparison and accept ourselves. We can learn that energy and consciousness are at the base level of everything, and that life works best when we seek truth and balance. We can discover that old habits can be a tool in our bag, even if we have set them down. We can realize that action that doesn't come from a place of peace, joy, and curiosity is not something we should pursue.

This journey of self-discovery can be a reminder that recognizing and addressing our own internal discomfort is key to finding true happiness and fulfillment in life. By understanding and accepting ourselves, we can create meaningful and lasting change.
