1. Become a Beginner - Simplify
I like to live always at the beginnings of life...
I am by nature always beginning... —Anais Nin
Becoming well in body and mind and spirit is our focus here. Ageless wisdom teaches that only when you are experiencing life simply, and celebrating its ordinariness, are you living in harmony. In contemporary times, the Zen master and scholar, Suzuki Roshi, has termed this approach to life the “beginner’s mind.”
Wellness is not a matter of accumulating something—like more data or more special programs. Rather, wellness is realized by being present and unburdening yourself of all that prevents a natural state of basic healthiness. To be well is to become more simple. Here are a few suggestions to get you thinking and moving like a beginner.
