Only a Life Lived for Others Is a Life Worth Living

Selfless service and how to practice it

Most often, however, people rarely drop their egos on demand. The practice of karma yoga can change your mindset and make tapping into your higher, kinder self simple.

You focus on thoughts and actions when you’re mindful. Unwanted thought forms might arise, but you acknowledge and ignore them rather than dive into them and get involved.

When your ego pipes up, you disassociate from it, allowing it to exist without getting attached to its views. As a result, you’re better able to live in the moment and concentrate on your actions.

If it helps, imagine self-talk stems from a stranger rather than you. You often hear people talk in public places, but you don’t always tune into what they say. So you need not attend to self-talk either.

Your mental chatter will fade as you detach from those thoughts you don’t want to enlarge. Soon, you’ll observe them and not add to them with attention.
