Cleaning UP: Freedom from Convention<br />

Cleansing Behaviors<br />

Releasing habits and routines. Examine your “normal everyday routine,” listing all the<br />

activities that normally fill your days and how you typically fulfill those tasks … Then, next to<br />

each of them, note a way(s) that you could easily alter them …<br />

Releasing the desire for social acceptance. List some of the behaviors your culture deems<br />

to be “normal” (e.g. “stylish” clothes, 40-hour work weeks, “tactful” speech, etc.). Next to<br />

each of these, note in parentheses who advocates them (e.g. advertising, family members, the<br />

news media, etc.). Finally, write down ways that you can purpose<strong>full</strong>y “bend” these norms<br />

without harming anyone (e.g. wearing funky clothes, turning off your television, being<br />

regularly silent, being kind to strangers, etc.). Such conscious, unconventional behaviors serve<br />

to radically reawaken your sense of True Self.<br />

Now get out there and be “strange”! Instead of striving to be “normal”, simply BE!<br />

Note: This section does not advocate the breaking of laws (unless they are patently unjust laws,<br />

of course) … It does, however, encourage you to follow legal guidelines because you choose to, not<br />

because you fear the consequences for “getting caught.”<br />

"Live your own Destiny imperfectly, rather than another's with brilliance." ~ Bhagavad Gita<br />
