Are We Becoming Machines?


Have you ever felt that you are working like a machine? You are not a human being but a human doing! Several years back, I felt like this. I noticed I’m working in an automated mode. I was always focused on my to-do list and I didn’t care how I felt while taking care of my to-do list.

There is nothing wrong in doing things and working hard but do I pay attention my well-being part? How I want to be when I am taking care of my to-do list? Am I happy doing what I’m doing? Am I peaceful and joyful when I’m taking care of my to-do list? Or am I stressed, anxious, heavy and doing even though I don’t feel like doing?

I feel majority of us have become like machine and don’t take care of the being part. We have become human doings and not human beings. We do charge our machines – our cell phone, our laptop and if you have an electric car, you do charge that too. Now question is – even though we treat ourselves as a machine, do we charge ourselves? And we do put our laptop in a sleep mode but we don’t put our mind to sleep- we are sleeping with our to-do list and many other thoughts and we wake up with next morning to-do list.

I’m sure you will agree with me – My quality of life is based on the quality of thoughts. You all have heard- as you think, so you become. The law of attraction! When I started paying attention to my thoughts and feelings by taking one-minute pause after every hour, my life became much better. You can get more insights listening to my short video.
