A study found that people who have the tendency to use more self-referential terms (I, me, myself) tend to have more health problems and earlier deaths. These people have more involvement with the self. Being self-absorbed has an immediate effect of narrowing one’s focus and blurring one’s vision.
Sometimes even if I carry out a function alone, i could hardly ascribe it’s success to myself. I find it fulfilling each time i say ‘WE’. It is like being pressed down by a heavy load we you make it all about you.
If you can practice this and you think more about others’ well-being, it immediately makes you feel more expansive, liberated and free. Problems which before may have seemed enormous would then seem more manageable.
