This is Part 2 in Dr. Penny Lloyd’s three part series on connection.
Connection is always a matter of degree. To begin to notice your state is HUGE! Congratulations! Lots of “oopsies” and self forgiving chuckles will help you forge a new more connected pattern. You know you are NOT as connected as you could be when:
- You feel yucky in any way
- Your attitude sucks
- You feel the world owes you
- You feel negative emotion – anger, fear, sadness
- You are busy thinking (especially if uninspired)
- You are judging yourself or another
- You feel superior
- You feel inferior
- You are thinking about the past (especially if negative)
- You are planning the future (especially if negative)
- You want to be somewhere else
- You are not aware of your body (or energy field)
- You are not aware of your surroundings (as an extension of you)
- You are tense (anywhere)
- You are trying really hard
- You are rushing
- You are multi-tasking
- You are controlling or manipulating
- You are compromising yourself
- You are attached to a certain way, opinion, or outcome
- An animal is showing you resistance
Well this will give us a good start. Did I miss an obvious one Dr. Schoen, or anyone?
