Ideas that surprised me today
I am inundated with Newsletters and Books and Videos. I have information overload. Today there were a few ideas that stood out.
1. Be kind to my mind
I am constantly planning out my day, trying to get as much squeezed in as possible. A meditation prompt in the book Kindfulness suggested that when I do that, I'm acting like a control freak. I wouldn't want to hang out with a control freak, so why should my mind want to hang out?
It has no freedom to wander, and so it rebels and gets distracted. He suggests that asking my mind what it might want to do - would be aa better way to focus my attention. I don't know, but the suggestion did get my attention.
2. - Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. — **Chinese proverb**
A quote I read in Recommendo newsletter today.
3. Prioritize your life values to determine what you should do next
