Where You Are

Once you have the capacity to pause, you can form a picture of where you are. You can get an understanding of what is noise, and what is worth focusing on. What really matters to you, and what meaning do you want to create? You can still the waves of anxiety to the point that you feel some sort of sense of control. Space allows you to step back from your immediate needs and glimpse the bigger picture. From that point, you can get the deep knowledge. You can do the deep work. You first need to build the capacity to reflect on what is important to you. That is the path to liberty. That is the path to letting go of the anxiety that wraps you up and gnaws at you. That path starts with acceptance. With the question of where you are, and what do you notice?
