Facebook Live on Happiness with Rob Mack

You know , I think we often think of the world in our lives as maybe an opportunity uh to get love or extract love from other people , places , things or activities . Uh But really , it's an opportunity to express or extend the love that we ultimately are . And when you think about it from that perspective , and when you think about it , from the perspective of being um effortless and uh enjoyable in that fashion .

Just try to enjoy it as an experience . Instead of trying to explain it with a thought , the more you really try to embody it so to speak , the more it grows in time and you're right before long , you start looking around . You're like , wow .

Um Rumination is where we tell ourselves a story about it like I'm the wounded person that's mother did this and you know , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah and , and that's OK because you know , it's not ok . I mean , you'll just keep feeling it for longer , you're making the story bigger . Um But again , it's just energy that wants to move and sometimes it moves recursively and sometimes it , it vamooses , it's so good .

We are not , we are more than often ruminating and reliving or reliving the experience . We are feeding the very emotions we're trying to extinguish with time , energy and attention . OK .

OK . And that just makes it grow larger and loom larger . So you want to go to the body , notice what you're feeling , focus on the experience of feeling it and do so without judgment .
