the first step is actually a real detox. Try and eliminate as many unnecessary things from your diet and ingestion as possible. That means when you shop for food try and get as few items on the ingredients list as possible. And hopefully you can get as many synthetics and sugars out as well. They wreak havoc on your mind and body. Hydrate as much as possible with distilled water or at least a brita filter. Detox of mind first comes with trying to ingest as few toxins and chemicals as possible.

Then you can get on to the though portion of it. That means you really want to try and understand WHY you think the way you do. Why things are important to you and who actually convinced you of such. Re-examine your priorities and definitions. Who are you actually living for, and what is the purpose of your labor?

Often this will turn a hard and strong eye on self. That's cool, that is what you want, but it has to be honest.

Detox of mind and body is the best start to learning what comprises the illusion...
