Why do we get so frustrated with unsolicited advice? Why is that I get frustrated with my parents and my sister giving advice? I get tired of listening to people telling me what I should do / need to do. I feel that I find getting help when I ask for it to be helpful, but receiving unsolicited advice is taxing on the mind for some reason. I get tired listening to someone telling me what does not necessarily resonate with the mind. I also get tired from intermittent pain. I can only imagine / feel compassion for the amount of pain that my father feels. He's a strong man for perservering. I hope he is able to better manage his pain over time / overcome it completely.
I think when we talk about ourselves, we attract unwanted attention within our own thoughts / in the world. I feel a sense of exhaustion when my parents / others talk to me about me. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that the quickest way to get depressed is to sit and think about ourselves and say, "what about me, what about me, what about me." He's so right...this is the quickest way to depression! The quickest way out is sadhana &/ selfless service to others. These seem to be the best ways...
I wonder if I'm burned out...I know people experience worldly career &/ life burnout. I wonder if people experience spiritual burnout. If people simply get burned out on the spiritual path. I sense that I would like to take a year / two or more to be normal again. I think I put too much effort and thought into spirituality. I don't know how to really relax anymore. I find some peace in nature, but not sure what else to do.
I find abiding in nature seems to be the most healing.
Lots of love to others,
