Re: Presence vs. Observing

[Guest guest]

Language is so much fun. Maybe it depends upon what you want to do, daydream or see the sunset? Both seem like valid choices...assuming they are choices...D

 

I'm wondering about how being present in the moment works with the

observing self. With me, I've got a lot of observing going on but very

little engaged presence. I would like to lose myself in activities and

fully feel my emotions. But this seems in contradiction to standing

back and observing what's going on. It seems like the latter makes me

kind of a spectator of my life rather than a participant but it seems

like that's what ACT is encouraging me to do. However, ACT is also

encouraging me to fully live my life.

So I'm a little confused. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce
