Yvette thought it said “laughter”.
It’s had me in stitches.
Meanwhile, following 8 weeks of mostly bedboundness, Yvette has had hers out and continues to heal. She is certainly practising what she writes in these Friday 6:08 am updates.⬇️
»Wu Wei The Art of Doing Without Doing by Yvette Masure | Health is Wealth 🌱
Wu Wei, or 'effortless action', involves unlearning social expectations and pressures, channeling a sense of inner goodness, and engaging with this in our everyday actions until it becomes natural and effortless.
Knowing when to relax and give yourself a break is important for everyone.A number of mindfulness, meditation, and wellness techniques exist for this purpose.
One of those is Wu Wei, an ancient Chinese philosophy designed to reshape the way we approach life.
In ancient China and Hong Kong, Wu Wei became a dominant philosophy, supported by Daoist (or Taoist) thinkers and influential philosophers
Daoist philosophy views Wu Wei as a source of great serenity.
Gaining a degree of separation from your experiences and from the world around you can be personally beneficial; however, Wu Wei has also been applied within roles of social and political power, as an attitude towards governing people and acting effectively in politics, business, and diplomacy, as well as personal matters.
People often misinterpret Wu Wei as a philosophy that simply promotes drifting through life, uninterested and unengaged in anything — this is not the intention of the practice.
The kind of peaceful detachment Wu Wei promotes is supposed to reduce anxiety and rigidity, and give people the peace of mind to move through life in a more effective, more uninhibited way.
It’s challenging to do , but what is not these days?
Health is wealth…
It’s an old philosophy for the new world .
I certainly suggest you consider it

»This is my Dream | by Jason The Artist Living in the Shadows 🎨
“Middle-aged man gives up everything to buy an old art shop nobody wants. Befriends local artists. Drinks tea and eats too much cheese. The shop becomes a hub for genuine artists and listens to their stories blah blah etc etc”
Who would play me? Well of course Keanu Reeves. That goes without saying.

🎣And a Bit More Finally
Last night, as a birthday treat, I decided to take myself to the local theatre to see Victoria Melody’s “Headset”
Selected as one of the best shows to see at the Edinburgh Fringe by Time Out, The Times and The Stage.
What if success doesn’t look like winning a Nobel Prize (or just managing to get a mortgage) but is more about becoming your true self?
When reenacting a funeral on-stage each night feels too much like the symbolic death of her theatre career, Victoria Melody turns to her Plan B: stand-up comedy. But in her search for creative freedom, she finds constraints and rules that she struggles to fit herself to.
I “daughed” and cried » TOUR INFO
