Things to Think About 114

"Leave your front door and back door open. Let thoughts come and go. Just don't serve them tea" Shunryu Suzuki on how to avoid anxiety and stop negative thoughts.

This is absolutely one of my favorite quotes. Shunryu Suzuki is playfully explaining that it’s quite normal for us to have negative thoughts and to feel anxious at times. We, in fact, should expect them. The key, however, is not to serve them tea and spend time with them. Let them pass through to the back door quickly on their way somewhere else.

Good luck on your journey.
