Why is the Easiest Stuff the Hardest?!

The easiest stuff. Why is it so hard for us?

Simple things. Love. Kindness. Empathy. Compassion. Why do we get caught up in all this other crap?

How about "Mindfulness?" - "Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.

Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future."

On the one hand all that sounds easy. Like falling off a log. On the other hand... impossible... like we have to unlearn everything we've ever learned. Hah! Maybe that's the idea...

Awareness? Gentle nurturing lens? Acceptance? Live in the Present Moment? Who woulda thunk it?!
