“I have never got on with the quietist movements: they lapse too easily into self-congratulations: I have found the oneness, you have not.

“Buy or borrow self-improvement books, but don't read them. Stack them around your bedroom and use them as places to rest bowls of cookies.Watch exercise shows on television, but don't do the exercises. Practice believing that the benefit lies in imagining yourself doing the exercises.Don't power walk. Saunter slowly in the sun, eating chocolate, and carry a blanket so you can take a nap.” BelieveBookSelfUseShowsLyingWalksWatchesPracticeSunTelevisionExerciseBenefitsEatingSelf ImprovementImprovementChocolateBowlsBedroomCookiesBlanketNapsEating ChocolateImagining Yourself Author:Sark
