Yes Amaury, it’s a good opportunity to try in any case, to do what we like. This already involves a reflection there, in the moment, in the present moment, of what we would really like to do!
Oh dear but there for once we can go into delirium not possible and unattainable?
Yes, that’s for sure, especially if you have an overflowing imagination! But it doesn’t matter, quite the contrary, by letting our imagination run free, our desires, we are taken towards life and we can realize the real needs that are hidden behind our desires.
That is to say ?
Let’s take an example: Here what you would like to do is to take a dream vacation on the edge of a beach, under the coconut trees perhaps… In fact, behind this wish, not necessarily within your reach, hides a need for a break from the environment, perhaps a need for calm or time for oneself. The representation of this, translates into this image of an idyllic beach.
So if I follow you, what would really please me in the moment is to perhaps break with my habits by being more calm, a bit like on vacation? But then how to do it?
First and not to belie the saying, you must already become aware of the need that you would really like to satisfy. Behind desires, often hide unmet needs.
Once this is highlighted, you will study how to achieve it, in an affordable way. Going back to our example, you could decide to take the time to go away, even for a weekend, to a place of your choice, not very far from Tours but which would allow you to really break with your habits and find inner peace and serenity. And you will probably be surprised at the result that will come from this action.
In fact, doing what we like can be easily within our reach?
Yes, if we do not stop at our only desires! The key is to always look behind, what are our unmet needs. We might be surprised to see that their satisfaction is well within our reach. And don’t forget to connect to the pleasant emotions that the satisfaction of our needs brings! Knowing how to find serenity in the heart of the Touraine countryside without going to the end of the world is rewarding! Knowing how to feel reassured by strengthening your inner resources without waiting for the world to get better is rewarding!
