living life numb

It's easy sometimes to just go along with life.  To stuff emotion.  To get used to the everyday and stop seeing the spectacular in every moment.  To consistently feed myself a diet of inactivity that spurs a sort of conscious-unconsciousness.  I stop feeling the moment and just go along.  

I realize that sometimes I easily numb myself to life.  I get tired, stressed, overwhelmed or just the opposite, bored.  Instead of stepping it up and living life, I become content to float along without really touching life, or letting it touch me.  I need to wake myself out of these moments with a splash of cold reality.  This is life.  This is my life.  Every moment of every day, and it's all I get.  So, what do I do to be consistently awake and aware?  Just live, I guess.  One moment at a time.
