Removal
Remove — the action of taking away, or ridding oneself
What should I remove?
This is the question. And it is really a personal question. Your answer will be personalized to your experience.
Generally speaking, your goal is to remove the negative — that which is not conducive to progress or that which is unnecessary to your life.
- chaotic energies
- “wants and needs”
- intrusive thoughts
- outside influences
Why you should practice removal.
Think of all the external interests that vie for a share of your time. Think of all the mental space that is taken up by things that do not offer you anything in return.
You are busy enough as a human living in 2022, you don’t need more of anything, you need less.
Less is more.
The mind is bombarded with too much. Let it breathe. Free it from the chains of the outside world.
Remove that which is unfulfilling. Let yourself be.
Perception is purified.
In stillness reality can show itself to you.
“An important place to begin in philosophy is this: a clear perception of one’s own ruling principles.” -Epictetus
Positivity fills the void.
Your body and soul will thank you. Your mind will be forever grateful. The mind will search to fill the void that you have created.
This is good. This marks progress.
Follow the vibes.
Follow the mind. Follow its interests. They will naturally align with your values. The mind will guide you toward its purpose.
When given time to think, humans are magnificent creatures.
Give yourself some quiet time today. You earned it.
