Thought for the Day - Hold Easy, But Don't Let Up Intensity

 This is a follow up to the earlier post on recalibrating in the middle of heated stuff. Now that's a big relief for the intense types who only know how to be intense to also know that they need not be intense all the time and can be quite chill and casual and even downright irresponsible at times. The downside is that they can go the other side and let go of effort altogether.

These intense types I tell you.

So one can go right back and say -

1) Recalibrate your feelings from 10 to 2. Take it easy. Relax. Don't get too attached. Have a good time.

2) Maintain effort at 10. (Only to the extent required - because most intense types think that effort means taking care of the whole world. It's only taking care of your aspect and keeping that going.)

Now that the aspect of recalibrating feelings which lead to attachment has come up we are in familiar territory of Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita - do your action (and don'toverthink about your relatives and stuff, just do your stuff dude) and forget about the feelings and attachments.

The mantra to a good life. At work, at relationships, at life.
