Your mind
Decide on purpose.
From reacting to choosing, in six steps. One action a day is a win. No theory.
Start here
What kind of day is this?
Some days you can do all six steps. Some days you can do one. Pick the day you are having.
Wired
Fast, restless, irritable. Everything is urgent. You want to fix, push and prove.
One action: Slow one thing down. Put the phone in another room for ten minutes. No sending, signing or quitting between 10pm and 8am.
Start at step 1: Catch itSeeing it slows it.Heavy
Flat, foggy, stuck. No energy. Nothing seems worth starting.
One action: Make it smaller. Wash one cup. Walk to the end of the road. A body that moves beats a mind that is deciding.
Start at step 3: Do one thingOne small action is a win.Clear
Steady, light, able to see.
One action: Use it. Do the thing you have been putting off, or write down what is different about a day like this.
Go to step 6: Find your purposeStart with what you already have.If the heavy days go on for weeks: see your GP, or refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies. If the thoughts are about not wanting to be here, Samaritans are free, any time: 116 123. CALM, 5pm to midnight: 0800 58 58 58. If anyone is in danger, call 999. All helplines →
In older words: wired is rajas, heavy is tamas, clear is sattva.
The path
Six steps. One action each.
In order the first time. After that, go to the one you need.
Catch it
A thought, a feeling, an urge. See it before it drives.
2Hear the narration
Your mind tells a story. Find what a camera would have seen.
3Do one thing
One action, one day, is a win.
4Without the title
Who are you when the label comes off? What identity is made of.
5Watch the ego defend
Proving, blaming, hiding, fixing. It is guarding the title.
6Find your purpose
Start with what you already have.
