Health & Vitality
"First act of vitality: quit smoking." - RT Do you want to be healthy? Let go of cigarettes! Then keep going and, one by one or all at once, let go of your unhealthy habits. Instead, adopt a health-enhancing lifestyle. Celebrate life by eating nutritious food, finding work-life balance, getting physically active, making time for relaxation, and aligning your body clock with day-night cycles. |
Pleasure & Sexuality
"Abandon alienating cultural patterns to allow the expression of biological patterns designed to reestablish homeostatic order in the organism." Are you struggling with sexual hangups and prejudices? To let go of sexual repression, remember that pleasure is a sign of health and that sexuality is the biological drive responsible for your own life and the survival of the species. |
Creativity
“Our opulence as artists is not in overabundance, but in the humility to abandon our multiple options and place our serene love in one of them.” Is your mind spinning with an endless stream of creative ideas? Are you drowning in a myriad of unfinished projects? An abundant imagination may be characteristic of creative people, but an unfocused mind will lead you nowhere. Let go of multiple options and focus instead on a single project. Give it your best and practice patience. Remember the time it took the universe to create a small flower. |
Positive Affectivity
Have you ever found yourself in one-sided, soul destroying, even abusive relationships? Human beings, regardless of age, need an environment of nurturing relationships in order to flourish. Sometimes we need to find the courage to let go of toxic relationships so that we can replace them with mutually fulfilling and empowering ones. |
Transcending the Ego
One thing is having a stable sense of self, another is pathological egocentricity, which is not only likely to bring about as much suffering for yourself as for others, but also to keep you imprisoned in the narrow confines of "me, myself and I". Letting go of the ego, on the other hand, will place you in a better position to experience your connection and Oneness with All-That-Is. |
