“But I need solitude--which is to say, recovery, return to myself, the breath of a free, light, playful air.”
So last night I was reading Nietzsche writing as part of my daily reflections. This particular quote spoke to me. I feel that the search for enlightenment is alive and well. I mean your reading this right! I have some important tips below that might help you in your search.
- Make time for yourself. I happen to have a job where I get to walk a lot and another great saying by Nietzsche is "All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.”?Not only is this great exercise but it allows you time to think and reflect. Just leave your phone at home or turn it off.
- Relax and enjoy life! I might enjoy and cigar with a friend or sit on the beach and read but again making this time to get rid of the stress and relax. This is import and will probably help with your blood pressure. It also helps me learn.
- Dive into your search for knowledge but not too deep. I mean take it slow and learn as you go. I personally made it a point to read the bible this year. I was so overwhelmed that I needed to do less and work slower to understand and digest. I also made a commitment to myself to read Stoic writings everyday. This helps my reflection. I can take a passage from the bible or Marcus Aurelius and just think about the phrase and how many different ways it applies to my life.
These were just some things that I do but leave me a comment and lets discuss further. Send me your ideas and tell me about your search!
