How To Develop A No-Clinging Mind
- Notice when you are clinging to something and how it feels, like when you get frustrated, overeat or rush to your favourite distractions like Twitter or Netflix.
- Practice a simple daily meditation of 5 to 10 minutes for a month. Check how much you cling to your phone in the middle of meditating.
- Practice letting go, just like relaxing the grasping or tightening of your body. Whatever comes your way, enjoy it.
- Clinging is because we believe we are the centre of the universe and want things the way we like them.
- Change your perspective to go beyond just being self-focussed. Focus on others and be compassionate and supportive.
- See the beauty in everything around you, the trees, the moon, feeling the amazing universe and appreciating it.
