“Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” — Lao Tzu
Yesterday we looked at different ways Wu Wei can be applied in the world. Today I want to ensure we understand, Taoism has amazing benefits for every generation, not just adults.
Our youth and young adults stepping into adulthood, could really benefit implementing these practices at the beginning of their journey. Listen as someone who has been adulting for decades , it’s challenging to say the least. It’s work no matter how you approach it, but how we process the world of adulting is what matters.
So whats the perspective of practicing Taoism for the young at heart?
1. Less Stress in School (Work): Picture this…you’re buried in assignments and your mind feels like a browser with 100 tabs open. Practicing Taoism, especially Wu Wei, helps us chill. Instead of freaking out, we manage our time well, study a bit each day, and let your brain soak up the info naturally—kind of like switching from a last-minute cramming session to a smooth streaming binge.
2. Better Friendships: Ever tried too hard to impress people and it backfired? Taoism teaches us to be authentic, just like how Pooh doesn’t try to be Tigger. Our friendships become more genuine and fun because we’re not forcing anything. It’s like hanging out with friends on a lazy day just being yourself and having a moment.
3. Improved Creativity: When we’re relaxed and go with the flow, ideas come easily, like those genius thoughts that pop up in the shower. Taoism helps us tap into effortless creativity. So let go of the control, pressure & your next art project, blog post, or TikTok challenge? Nailed it without even trying too hard.
4. Smooth Vibes: Instead of stressing about the perfect Instagram shot, Taoism is like capturing a candid moment where you’re genuinely laughing with friends. It’s authentic, less pressured, and people love it because it’s real—no filters needed.
5. Easier Problem Solving: Think about untangling earphones. The more you pull, the worse it gets. Taoism teaches you to approach problems calmly and patiently. Next time you face a tricky situation, instead of panicking, you’ll handle it like a pro, making life feel as smooth as your favorite video game level-up.
Practicing Taoism can seriously enhance life by reducing stress, fostering genuine friendships, boosting creativity, easing social media pressures, and improving problem-solving skills. Embracing its principles allows us to go with the flow, making life’s challenges feel more like smooth sailing than rough waters.
So, take a cue from Taoism, relax, and let things naturally fall into place. It’s the Art of doing Nothing, and allowing the universe to work in your favor. 🙏🏾
