Un-selfing

Every now and then we can get a bit tired of being ourselves (to put it mildly). Every now and then we can get a bit frustrated at being in control all the time and can long for some time out…
To turn our attention away from ourselves and towards the world.
To look at the world through a lens that’s not concerned with our own thoughts and judgements, our own needs and desires.
To treat the world as our foreground while we’re in the background.
To surrender ourselves to the beauty of the world.

Many people use alcohol and drugs as a quick route to escaping themselves, but there are plenty of alternatives, such as becoming immersed in nature, music, meditation, mantras, etc. How might you wish to un-self yourself?
