Hi everyone.
I've recently got into mindfulness, being in the now, and self improvement, reading the works of Ekhart Tolle and Sam harris.
I've realized that when I'm in my head, dwelling in my thoughts, I am less happy. Ironically, my job as a programmer requires me to do just that.
On the one hand, I've always considered myself as interested in things like programming and mathematics, which involve high level of thinking and problem solving.
On the other hand, as I am becoming aware of the power of the present moment, I am starting to ask myself the following question: will I be happier in a lower salary job, but which doesn't require me to dwell in my thought, and allows me to be more attentive to the present moment, for example, say, a beach lifeguard?
Thank you!
