#276 Breaking Free from Childhood Conditioning: Embracing the Joy of Now ππ
2 min Read |Β 19 Dec 2023Β
Realisations about our deep-seated childhood conditioning can be eye-opening, leading us to reassess and sometimes break free from long-held habits. I looked around and nobody had opened the gift hamper, at times food for contemplation, am i just a sum result of all the conditioning? hence the focus on to observe thinking, as long there is thinking, there is conditioning.
π A Shift in Perspective
An ingrained habit from childhoodβnot opening hampers and gifts immediatelyβwas almost an unspoken rule, a conditioning that I carried unconsciously for impulse control along with many other actions. But earlier this year, during an alumni meet, a moment of clarity made me question this practice.
π§ Understanding and Changing Conditioned Behaviours
Recognising this conditioning wasn't just about opening gifts sooner. It was symbolic of a larger process of identifying and altering behaviours and responding to the moment. It was about learning to live in the moment and appreciating life's small pleasures without preconceived models.
Breaking free from such ingrained habits can be liberating, allowing us to live more fully in the present and enjoy life's surprises as they come. πποΈπͺ
