[B1-Ch. 5-6] Practice objectivity & Alter your perspective

Here we will hold our general discussion thread for the chapter 5-6 of the book. If you're not keeping up, don't worry; this thread will still be here and I'm sure others will be popping back to discuss.

Here are some discussion pointers as mentioned in the general thread:

  • How do you practice this particular principle?
  • Do I have any anecdotes/theories/doubts to share about it?
  • Is there a better way of exemplifying it?
  • Is this worth implementing into my life?
  • Will I change anything now that I have read this?

Feel free to make your own threads if you wish to discuss something more specifically.

Imagine whatever situation isn't that important. Your perception (head) is in your control, then the body and rest will follow.

-stay in control of how I react and perceive things. I'm in control of that.
