Deepak Chopra recently wrote 27 ways to go out of your mind but I think he missed one. He says out of the 60,000 thoughts we have everyday, 59,000 are the same unless we do something different. Whenever we have an experience beyond words—Whenever we go out of our minds—we touch the unlimited dimension of our being and open ourselves to new and creative possibilities.
A few of his ideas are:
- Invite someone new to lunch
- Watch good things that are happening in the world at www.darynkagan.com
- Take an improvisational acting class
- Read a magazine on a topic you’ve never explored
- Eat a meal in complete silence
One that isn’t mentioned is my favorite, practicing yoga! Yoga always helps me go out of my mind because it connects me with my breath, my body, and a grace bigger than myself. What do you do to go out of your mind?
