Stop Running Away From Yourself

I often observe how people, when faced with inner dissatisfaction, try to suppress it or cover it up with other emotions — distracting themselves, diving into social interactions, getting lost in entertainment, traveling somewhere, and so on.

Of course, these are very necessary measures, but when you have already become acquainted with yourself and the source of your dissatisfaction - when you have taken it from the subconscious plane to the conscious plane. When you heard what your soul is signaling to you through your thoughts, emotions, and your energy level. Then the measures described above, and many others, are applied consciously and in a controlled manner to regulate and correct your state.
But how often have you noticed that going somewhere, spending time in a cheerful company, a change of scenery, immersing yourself in work is only a temporary substitute, after which you again return to your previous state?
And something again begins to make its way through as an unpleasant or inconvenient signal from within?
And then it’s somehow very uncomfortable to be left alone with yourself...
And so the person throws himself into work, at the end of the day he occupies his attention with an entertainment program, and on his free days the muffled dissatisfaction of racing a motorcycle on a high-speed track rolls out - the adrenaline is at its peak and the person begins to feel alive.
How long can you run from yourself like this? Sometimes your whole life. But what’s the point?
In the end, we all want to be happy and live a fulfilling life. But often these concepts are very conditioned (making us dependent on someone or something). Such conditioning leads to an eternal race for imaginary goals, values, saviors and circumstances, and what we want never comes.
Why? Without knowing our deepest essence, our truth, without getting to know that very dissatisfaction within ourselves, we will never know what will really make us happy and what needs to be done, how we need to change ourselves to get to this state.
And this is work. A lot of internal work with yourself. Subconsciously, we all understand this.
And that's why you want something faster and easier: buy yourself something, go somewhere, run away, forget yourself and... return to this circle again.
Do you choose running in circles or climbing stairs?
