An obvious one is a media fast. A media fast involves not watching television, reading any newspapers or magazines, checking or sending any e-mails, or even talking on the phone (read more). Or perhaps the recent technology fast which would include ipods and cell-phones. That would be up to you to define according to what is overwhelming your life. Personally, I think a one day fast is an ideal starting point; the goal being to enhance gratitude, appreciation, creativity, awareness and simply to take a break. Here are some more I thought of:
- "yes" fast or a "no" fast (whichever one you tend to default to most often)
- passivity fast (or the "whatever"/"no problem" fast)
- worrying about the environment fast
- urban fast
- car fast
- being a consumer fast
- negativity fast (you know who you are)
- happiness fast (it's ok to be grumpy now and then)
- letting go of the "letting go of the ego" fast (sorry Oprah)
- people fast
- ritual fast (in other words a day of spontaneous actions)
- dare I say it..the Tim Horton's fast
Enjoy the weekend,
Birgit
