Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering

Framework For Creating A Non-Thinking Environment
Write down all of the things that help you get into a relaxed,
peaceful, non-thinking state. These can be things like exercise,
meditation, having a certain genre of music on, location, etc.
Organize the items on your list into categories.
1. Examples Of Categories
I. Physical Health
a. What things that you put into your body help you to
feel healthy, sustainably energized, and peaceful?
II. Physical Environment
a. What things in your physical environment help you
feel aligned with your divine self?
III. Digital Environment
a. What things on your phone, computer, or TV help
you to feel aligned with your divine self?
IV. Digital Consumption
a. What media/content you consume helps you to feel
aligned with your highest self?
2. Rank the items in each category from most impactful to
least impactful to helping you get into and remain in a non-
thinking state.
3. Choose the top items from each list and create an action
item on how you will incorporate it into your life. Try not to
do too much at once because it can be overwhelming. Do
what is manageable for you for now and you can add on
more later after you’ve become acquainted with it.
4. Create an activation ritual or morning routine that helps
you get into a state of non-thinking and helps you align
with your highest self. Plan out what the ideal morning
routine looks like that you can do now. Start small and
don’t overwhelm yourself. Ensure that there is time for you
to create space (like meditation, yoga, or any similar
spiritual practice to help you tune into Infinite Intelligence).

5. How you start your day will create momentum for how your
day will go. If you start your day off by checking your
phone, emails and what you have to do, you’re starting
your day in a stressful, fight or flight mode of thinking,
which will carry on for the rest of the day.
6. If you begin your day in a peaceful state and perform a
routine that gets you into a state of non-thinking, you will
carry that momentum throughout your day and it will be
much harder to get caught up in external things that could
make you relapse back into thinking and stress. This is
why all the greatest spiritual masters have morning rituals
or routines of some kind.
