Detaching from what’s going on in our lives both productively and emotionally. Behind this point lays the same concept I have been glad to read between the lines of one of last Everett Bogue‘s articles, which ended this way: “I know that there’s only one way to approach the now: accept everything, stay grounded, and bend with the will of reality“.
There are times in one’s life in which you need to step away from what you write and love the most. A time made for reflection, introspection. A time in which you evaluate your own conduct: you see the progress you have made in growing both mentally and physically. A time in which you stale today, to get something done tomorrow. It is not procrastination. It is a perfect moment to edit what you’ve done in life, highlighting the ways in which you could improve your work, by editing your core values. The content of your work will always stay fresh, and it will be more and more dense and enlightening.
Stop, breathe and take a look at your past.
It’s good to enjoy what you’ve gone through again. Even if you have made nothing remarkable to talk about, just make sure you evaluate everything. Evaluate both positive and negative aspects of the life you’ve spent in the past. I do this quite often: that’s why I will share some thought to think on here today. My main interest during this period of introspection is to stay healthy, fit, study a lot and focus exclusively on things which are really important to me.
Create space for what you love. Make it a moral imperative.
