In The Practice of Letting Go of Mental Constructs by Leo Babuta
Everything we believe about ourselves and others is an idea, an image constructed in our heads. And these mental constructs can be some of our biggest obstacles and struggles.
Letting go of our mental constructs — our ideas about ourselves and others — can be one of the most liberating things possible.
I’m not saying it’s wrong to have mental constructs — we can’t help it, it’s human and often necessary for whatever we’re doing. But sometimes it’s an obstacle and cause of pain."
Leo then gives some examples and explains three steps to practice letting go of these mental constructs. Very useful.
