A Stone Is Melting In My Heart. Letting go.

How to choose without getting trapped:

1. Make the most of every experience.
2. Don’t obsess over right and wrong decisions.
3. Stop defending my self-image.
4. Go beyond risks.
5. Make no decision when in doubt.
6. See the possibilities in whatever happens.
7. Find the stream of joy.

1. The experiences need to be engaged at the level of meaning and emotion.
a. Meaning: if the moment truly matters to me, experience it fully.
b. Emotion: If the moment truly matters to me, bond with it.

2. Go with it and make the best of it.

3. Release myself from my self-image; be free to choose as if for the first time.

4. Go beyond risks; there is infinite intelligence in the hidden dimension of my life.

5. Get in contact with my essential self; make the decision then.

6. Go back to my basic principles:
a. Adapt to my desires.
b. Keep everything in balance.
c. Harmonize my individual life with the life of the cosmos.
d. Be aware of what I am doing.
e. See the consequences of my actions.
f. Make my life as real as possible.

7. Find the joy in my existence, the joy that is free of any good or bad choices.

Finally – Review my life and list my good and bad choices. Realize that good often comes from bad choices. Celebrate the good results and be thankful for them.
