Working hard or hardly working?

Those of you who have been following this blog for awhile know that I've preached, teached, reached far and beyond talking about the value, importance, and controversy around the philosophical and practical application of effortlessness. I hope you didn't think that I have an issue with hard work. Making an "effort." Etc...

Hard work can be fun. We delight in the feeling of having accomplished something after working hard. Some of us just like to work for work's sake. 

I'm not saying "don't work and don't work hard." I'm saying be relaxed while you work hard. There is a difference.

Committee 

10 commitments 

What are your 10 commitments to yourself? And who is deciding what they are? Your big S self? Your little s self? Which one really cares about losing 10 lbs? Which one cares? Is caring really sharing? 

Let's see that on facebook.

Practice the relax

What is relaxation but a state that is void of fear?

So why not practice relaxation with as much attention as one would practice the guitar, mathematics, yoga asana, gymnastics, etc... What would it be like to be a master or virtuoso of fearlessness?

First Friday

First Friday of the year. Is it TGIF? If so, why are we thanking God that it's Friday today? What is it about today that inspires thanks?

The Resolution Solution - part 2

So how's it going so far with those resolutions? 

Right.

For me, I resolve every day. And sometimes throughout the day. The new year just marks another day, and another reason to have a party (as if I need one!)

I have a code that I live by. Those are my resolutions. And I resolve, or re-solve them as often as I need to, for however long it takes for me to get it, because that is what is important to me. What's my code? What does it matter? Make up your own code. What's important to you? 

Some of my code looks like this:

Non judgement 

No greater than or less than

It's all perfect

Love yourself

Etc...

I adopted this code (partial list shown) around 1986 when I met Dennis Adams. Thank you for teaching me truths that have held up every damn moment of every damn day. And that is what I teach. That is what informs my yoga, and all of it informs my life. That code is my continual resolve. That is my Resolution Solution.

Amen

Hari om tat sat

Etc...
