A New Beginning, A New Year of Focus, Sanity and Staying Grounded

And Summarising Detox December

Like all the new years I did not promise myself to achieve anything this year. This is a year of no resolutions, just staying sane, grounded or I would say cultivating more ground, space for my inner self, doing more soul work to harness more inner strength.

Probably I will be spending one or two months in complete silence far away from the society. By the way in my entire life hundreds of people have complained about my existence in the society. I found my own place in the universe, for now its in the Library, Meditation halls, Gym and once in a while long distance cycling trips.

I have already made financial projection for myself and my entire family for the entire year, hopefully I have covered all possible scenario. If there’s something more happens I will fight. I will use my favourite writers phrase …

“The mission is to domestic, even conquer, the unseen, the opaque, and the inexplicable — Be the fire that loves the wind”

I will keep a directory of Detox December in case I want to look back sometime in coming years.

1- Ground Rules for Detox

2- Weird Things that Goes Inside my Mind — Working as an Observer of Observer

3- Fiercely Beautiful — Fighting Negativity with Smallish Joys

4-Mistaken Fallibility — And Ergodicity, Not Being Afraid

5- Street Fights — And Worrisome Anger

6- Addicted to Books and Forgetfulness — And Struck by forgetfulness

7-Cultivating Focus and Control — A promise that I am making to break again

8- 250 Hours in the Operation Theatre of Mind — And sitting still 125 hours in Silence with my Weird Thoughts

I will also write very less this year confining it to 4–5 posts per month. Its been a good six months of writing, I enjoyed it too much and I feel really good about this — at least for now.
