Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style.

Absolutely! I so needed this reminder about the Taoist approach to self-discipline. For years, I was all about the hustle and grind, pushing myself to the limit. It definitely got results, but it left me feeling fried. Lately, I've been trying to incorporate more flow into my day. As the video says, focusing on when I have the most energy for specific tasks makes a big difference. What about you guys? Do any of you have experience finding more success with a less forceful approach to getting things done? I'd love to hear your tips and tricks!
