Left to our own devices, we are never better than our list of rules. Right and wrong discussions lead precisely nowhere. Here are 5 ways to step out of this swamp, giving you the chance to free yourself, and let others be.
Selfish, Self-aware, Selfless — it’s not selfish to work on yourself… it’s the only way to shift what isn’t working. It’s essential that we ‘get our noses on our side of the fence,’ do our work, and be real
Big Mind — Watching the mind work is how we prepare to live in the moment. Here are some examples of simply watching.
The Blame Game — blaming situations or others is a great way to live a small and meaningless life. Things change when we accept responsibility for our lives, and then do something different.
Letting go of Assumptions — most never explore their baseline assumptions, and end up living on autopilot
Get Over It — There’s reality and what you do with reality in your head. All emotion comes from you not accepting what is right in front of you, and working from there.
The way we view our lives, and ‘reality’ is not true. In fact, it’s simply an unconscious habit. Learn ways to recognize habitual thinking and behaving, and then, learn how to change it.
The joy of non-duality — we create internal representations of everything we interact with. It’s all just a story. Joy is letting go of all of them.
Changing Channels on Your Thinking — While certain aspects of our personality and behaviour are hard-wired in, what we choose to do with each situation is, fortunately, completely our choice.
We all have developed an internal picture, (or pictures) of “reality.” We stack evidence for the validity of our internal picture. Stress occurs when our internal picture clashes with the external world.
