I have found that most things happen in action and most of my worries or anxieties happen in thoughts. I learned in recovery the value of acting my way into right thinking versus the other way around.  As we come to know ourselves and our operating system we identify what fits and what doesn’t. Determining whether or not something fits happens when we try it on. The fittedness is identified through action.  It is true about clothes and about life.  I can look at something or someone.  I can read their labels.  I can see a similar idea but until I engage with the thing or person I do not know if they are a good fit for me.  We have all most likely had the experience of going by our eyes when it comes to clothing, trusting the label put on the clothes by someone else, or even picking something out because it is just like something we already own only to find out when we try it on, it doesn’t fit.  To live the truth of who we are and what fits for us is about embodiment. We can put all kinds of labels on ourselves or let others do it for us, but no label will ever give anyone the true sense of what it means to be in our presence.  Living is an action, not a thought. I can have all kinds of worry filled or anxious thoughts, but they live only inside my head. I can easily decide something is not for me simply because it is unknown to me, but all that does is keep me from acting out of fear. When it comes to assessing what is a fit for us, we are called to put into action the motion of trying things on The beauty of the action is after it happens I have a deeper knowing of who I am and what I am actually capable of.
