To empty the mind before choas rules is not mandatory to live, it is good for a healthier lifestyle.

The mind can be a useful servant, but we need to listen to it at the right time. Inspirational ideas come all the time, it is up to us to catch them. If on a white wall there are hung many, many paintings of average value and only good one, it is difficult for anybody to spot the cool one easily.

The same happens to our minds: if there are too many thoughts populating all the moment our mental-wall, it would be hard to spot the good idea. It would seem that we are actually unworthy of it.

In any society, strong ideas bring evolution and benefits under all aspects. The question is how to create an environment that pushes in this direction.

First, it is important to listen to all your thoughts and give them a lot of importance, because they are produced by us. Second, it is important to detach from all of these thoughts, so you can have a more global view. Third, remain constantly connected to yourself, so thinking will not be a burden but an energising aspect of oneself.

How to remain connected to yourself? Keep reminding yourself who you are.  You are the action you are performing at that moment but not the thoughts and eventual related emotions generated by that action. The latter are actually the residual part of that energy involved while performing the action. A sort of inertia that we are all subjected to.
