Here’s a reading I’ve chosen for you at random from my book The Compass.
There are 365 readings in the book. This is number 113.
113: ENJOY
WHY?
Enjoyment introduces you to the moment.
CLARITY
What do you enjoy most in your life?
Which regular task do you not enjoy doing?
How do you feel when you are doing that task? What other thoughts are on your mind at that time? How much time do you spend thinking about the past, the future, or what else you could be doing? How many moments of your life pass you by in this way?
Every task has at least one enjoyable facet, when you know how to look. Are you ready to live in every moment, instead of wishing time away?
ALCHEMY PRACTICE
Think about that regular task you do not enjoy doing, for example, vacuuming the carpet, doing your accounts, or weeding the garden. First ask what is the main purpose of each task, for example, to cleanse the room of dust so that everyone can breathe easily, to maximise how much money is available, or to give flowers room to grow, bloom, and be beautiful. As you do the task, focus on the feeling that you are clearing the air, creating more money, or causing flowers to bloom. If there really is no positive purpose in doing a task, then don’t do it!
