After we’ve recognized our simply ridiculous selves, energized ourselves with the LIGMO Pledge and connected ourselves with the synergy of a growing LIGMO Movement … THEN WHAT? Good question. The fluffy stuff is over and it’s time to ‘walk the walk’ now that we’ve ‘heard the talk.’
There are 3 steps to the LIGMO Self-Mastery Process™:
- Self-Realization – Are You ‘Simply Ridiculous?’
- Self-Management – Cleaning Up Your Act/Working on Your Dukkha (meaning suffering and drama)
- Self-Mastery – Contributing to the Higher and Greater Good
The book ‘Simply Ridiculous’ starts us on the path of REALIZATION by identifying 16 simply ridiculous behaviors that get us to stop dead in our tracks and WAKE UP to our simply ridiculous selves. We may still have some digging to do but as you commit to the process, that’s what counts.
At the next phase, I’ve identified 16 corresponding LIGMO behaviors that get us on the road to CLEANING UP OUR ACT and WORKING ON OUR STUFF (Dukkha and the like!).
What’s a LIGMO Behavior? Well, I’m not preaching or anything, but I am strongly suggesting that this might be an alternative way to live that you might want to consider to fill the void once you’ve tossed out the old. What’s a Simply Ridiculous Behavior? Hey! Come on! Do I REALLY have to explain that? See list below of the primary ones I’ve identified.
As you move through your own LIGMO process, there’s no doubt that you’ll have more of your own ridiculousness to add to the list. We’ll be talking about these SR and LIGMO Behaviors a lot so go ahead, don’t be shy – contribute! Remember… “It’s better to laugh about it together than to cry about it alone!”
