A doze of mental augmentation.... Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds! ―Bob Marley Since we were born, our minds have been gradually programmed by our surroundings and by society at large. As we grow, evolve and awaken to this reality, we learn that it is in our best interests to uninstall some of this programming and take back control of our minds. What are we taking control back from, specifically? Well, in part, the immense amount of cultural, societal and institutional brainwashing that has greatly influenced who we are and how we view ourselves and our abilities. For example, despite what you may have heard… You don’t need to be a person who requires everyone to approve of them. Your relationships don’t need to model modern day sitcoms. Your daily energy doesn’t need to be directed by mindless drama, which is often stirred just to distract you from your deeper purpose and passions. You can clear yourself of this corrupt thinking and reclaim your sanity and effectiveness. But it’s hard, because distractions are everywhere, pulling at us and creating needless points of focus meant to disempower us. They drive us into compulsive consumerism and egotism, rather than meaningful connections and emotional freedom. So today, it’s time to flip the switch. It’s time to free your mind and take back control of your life. Here are eight smart ways to start doing just that: 1. Be selective about the media you consume. 2. Prioritize YOUR desires ahead of external and internal resistance. 3. Stop wishing for it and start working for it. 4. Create healthy daily rituals. 5. Flip your perspective from negative to positive. 6. Stop looking for and expecting “perfect.” 7. Give yourself a break. 8. Loosen your grip on the past. Sometimes we have to let go of what’s killing us, even if it’s killing us to let go. Letting go means to come to the realization that some circumstances and relationships are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny. Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move forward. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness. And remember, sometimes the hardest part isn’t the act of letting go but rather learning to start over. This is normal. This is a new day. A new beginning. And things will change for the better......
