I’m going to practise letting go on a small scale and see if I can work up to bigger and more important things in my life. Related to Buddhism, I remembered that Buddhist monks would create elaborate mandalas and then after they had finished, destroy them, to teach them how to let go and become less attached.

I thought I would get some blank mandalas to colour in and then do similar. I will spend the time colouring them and concentrate on that task, which will be a meditative activity in itself and then when I have finished, rip the paper and throw it away. This seems a fairly pointless thing, but I’m aiming to undo a bad habit from the bottom up, so trivial it may seem, it’s a starting point for bigger and more difficult tasks.

I have one printed off, so I’ll give that a go this afternoon.
