As noted before, I enjoy the Raptitude blog. Blogger David has listed his top 10 posts of last year, so that makes it easy to hit the 2010 Raptitude highlights.
"Die on Purpose" is intriguing. Excerpt:
I think it’s really helpful to forget you exist, and often. It sounds impossible, but it can be done. Here’s an exercise I do sometimes to achieve that perspective:
Wherever I am, whatever location I am in, I picture the situation exactly as it would be if I wasn’t there. I just watch it like it’s a movie, and the people still in the scene are the actors. Or maybe there’s nobody around at all, it’s just an empty corner of the world sharing a moment with itself. Whatever the scene, it feels like I’m watching it remotely from some far-off theater. It’s all still happening, but I’m not there.
Deliberate self-negation is an interesting exercise because its self-assertion without any of the bells and whistles.
