Awareness is a word that gets thrown around a lot especially if you read any type of self improvement.
When we expand our field of awareness, more of life reveals itself.
It's a life changing practice.
But as someone who defaults to dissociation, awareness can also be a tool for avoidance.
It can be cold.
Lonely.
A way to detach from the world.
Lately, I've been focusing on
Presence.
A way of being – fully engaged in the moment.
Neither accepting nor rejecting, I sit in and with the energy around me.
When I focus on presence vs. awareness, I feel more connected.
Really at the end of the day, it's semantics, but we shouldn't underestimate the power of words.
A simple change can evoke a completely different outcome.
