My Never Ending Daydream: Reading, Relaxing and Daydreaming

Lately I have been doing a different kind of exercise than physical exercise. I have been spending a lot of my time working on my spirituality. Go on, roll your eyes, its ok. I have been reading a lot. The book I have one chapter left on is called "the Lotus effect" by Pavel G. Somov.

Discover the Lotus Effect

The lotus plant has a unique ability to survive in muddy, humid swamps, producing beautiful flowers that bloom just above the water's surface. By repelling dirt and parasites from their leaves, lotuses are able to thrive and access as much sunlight and water as possible. What if we, like the lotus, could let the trials and tribulations of everyday life slip away and emerge unscathed and whole?

Suffering results when we lose sight of our true sense of self and absorb everyday frustrations instead of letting these feelings fall away. Inspired by Buddhist and Vedic psychology,The Lotus Effect will help you rediscover who you are by clarifying what you are not. Through the contemplative "identity detox" exercises and meditations in this book, you'll learn to let go of stress, worry, anger, suffering, and need for approval as naturally as the lotus sheds mud from its leaves. As you practice detaching yourself from life's disappointments, frustrations, and fears, you'll take the first steps toward strengthening your core "lotus self" so that you, too, will possess the resilience to blossom, no matter the circumstances.

I will say it's not my favorite book but it really puts into perspective just how unimportant all the silly junk we deal with day in and day out is. It's so important to remind yourself that life is about so much more then work and bills and stress. I need to be reading to remind myself of this, for some this comes naturally.

Anyway, the lotus effect is an easy read as long as you go in with an open mind. <3
