Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key Wellness / Self-Care + Productivity Strategies

  • Take action, then allow “help from the universe”

    • Once you’ve committed to a course of action and actually act, a broader “manifesting power” can support outcomes beyond what your action alone could produce.
    • The idea is that action + receptivity enables helpful circumstances to arise.
  • Use “step back and stillness” to reset your mind (3–4 second practice)

    • When thinking becomes repetitive or cluttered—especially after you’ve had “a few thoughts”—pause briefly into stillness/presence.
    • Suggested approach:
      • Step into thought
      • After a few thoughts, step out for 3–4 seconds into presence / no-thought
      • Then step back into thinking
    • Emphasis: the mind stops while conscious awareness remains.
  • Alternate between thinking and no-thought for more effective problem-solving

    • For resolving situations or planning, practice alternating between:
      • Focused thinking (to explore options, plan steps, generate ideas)
      • Stepping back into no-thought (to let deeper insight surface)
    • “Real thinking” happens when these two modes are combined.
    • Goal: get more insights and feel more empowered.
  • Apply thinking not only to solve problems, but to create new outcomes

    • Thinking can be used to:
      • Decide what action to take
      • Envision the finished result (e.g., visualize a completed book—already written and available)
    • This supports manifestation beyond immediate effort.
  • Create from consciousness, not ego

    • By stepping back into presence and returning to thought, what you create is more likely to be:
      • Less driven by egoic motives
      • More aligned with the deeper place of consciousness
