Being Grateful for what is now (not what you got in the past or will get in the future.

My ego says "Please comment so I know someone is reading this" - my higher self doesn't care if anyone reads at all...

toilet paper usage as mindfulness exercise

You take four rolls of toilet paper and put a label above each.

I chose "Presence. Wonder. Serenity. Joy" You can choose any four that you wish.

You pick up the one that corresponds to the state you are feeling or want to feel.

Today I noticed that the roll called "Presence" is much smaller.
Is that because people here are more present so choosing the role that corresponds to how they feel?

Or because they want to be more present?

Or because it is the first roll (as you look left to right).

How would I feel if nobody else is playing this game with me? Am I attached to other people doing it too? Am I attached to anyone reading this blog? Why do we do things? If it is to avoid scorn of others, or to get praise of others, are we falling into a trap? Where is moderation in all of this - how can we adopt the attitude that we like others to participate in something, but happy to engage in it even without anyone else?
