Option 1: Raja Yoga: The Way of Experimentation.
If you have never meditated, try a meditation session. My favorite for starting out is this one.
If you have meditated, try Spinal Breathing Pranayama, a technique for awakening and harnessing energy.
Option 2: Karma Yoga: The Way of Action
If you struggle with focusing on consequences or reputation (such as focusing on grades), work on acting without a care about consequence.
If you struggle with “being in the wake” rather than “in the boat,” try to get into the boat. Reflect on what is holding you back and what it would take to get into the boat (into the present moment).
Option 3: Bhakti Yoga: The Way of Love
Think about someone your love (may be a person, pet, God, etc.). Explore the ways in which your needs and expectations might get in the way of loving more deeply. Try to move past your own fears or selfish desires to deepen your love and express it more fully.
Option 4: Jnana Yoga: The Way of Reflection
Write a short essay on how your self is actually one with the Universal Self and our relationship to the infinite universe of time and space.
Example :
I chose the 3rd option: The Way of Love. To be honest there are a lot of things that hold me back from loving others. For one I have very strong expectations and have a need for perfectionism. It is very hard for me to accept that other people do things differently than me so when they don’t it creates a lot of conflict. I find this to be an incredibly toxic trait because no one CAN do everything the way I do or like. You can learn so much from people’s differences. I need to learn to accept flaws because I am flawed myself and that is only fair. The other thing that holds me back is fear of failure. I tend to hold back when loving people in fear that things won’t work out. It is almost like its a defense mechanism. I dont say or do what i want because I am scared I will mess things up and fail. Maybe a whole new great opportunity will arise if decide to jump out of my comfort zone. Loving people should never come at a price even if failure is the ultimate one. It is better to try and fail then not and never know what you missed out on
