I have been working with a metaphor lately that has been helpful.  In my way of thinking, there is a passage, one single avenue where the things existing in my internal world (hopes, desires, compulsions, dreams, needs) immerge into the external world as actualized reality.  That gate is action.  Only when I take an action, either intentionally or on impulse, do the things inside get out.

It has been useful to sit and watch the comings, and goings, at the gate.  Not to perform as some kind of guard, or organizer, but just as witness (and perhaps census taker).  When I can sit my attention there, and watch who goes through the gate I learn interesting things.

Try it, if you’d like.  It’s been doing good things for me.
