Identify yourself by developing a monastic mindset
from Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day by Jay Shetty
How to Apply This
-
Do a self-audit of your time, media consumption, and expenditure.
Assess where and how you are spending your time, energy, and money. If you feel you are over-engaging with the media, set limits for yourself. You can use apps like Social Fever or MyAddictometer. Similarly, observe your discretionary spending in terms of money and time spent on social media platforms. -
Filter external noise, don’t block it.
Don’t block yourself from interacting with the world and learning from others. However, be discerning in terms of what is useful for you, and what is just noise. -
Spend 75% of your time with people who inspire you.
Be a part of a group or a community that reflects who you want to be. Grow with them.
