Getting Out Of Ourselves

The things that help us in getting out of ourselves

For every one of us there will be something different that helps us in getting out of ourselves, that pushes our button in a very positive way. And the funniest thing is it doesn’t really cost us a thing and it’s always all around us maybe we’re just so fixated on other things that we feel will bring us happiness.

The things that help us in getting out of ourselves are usually magical in some way- a particular view or person, a pet or a child, a favourite book or film that we turn to, to help us recharge. It might be a state of mind that we arrive at through some ritual such as going to a place of worship or meditating. It might be a certain piece of music that lightens our heart. For some it may be doing charity work or being a volunteer (there’s nothing like doing something for others or for a greater good to take you out of yourself).

Whatever it is, make sure you have it, know it and use it. No good it being a piece of music that always lifts your mood if you don’t play it occasionally.

I guess we all need something in our life that takes us out of ourselves and perhaps, stops us taking ourselves too seriously.

Whether it’s a dog, a child or a chat with a lonely person at a day centre, there needs to be something that makes you realize that all the stuff that’s getting to you isn’t that important and reminds you of the simple pleasures in life.
