Central to Jiddu Krishnamurti’s teaching was the message of “choice less awareness”. It was a teaching that Bruce Lee embraced and utilised in his daily life. But what does it mean in practice?

Firstly it means don’t choose things as good/bad, right/wrong etc. It’s about rising above and going beyond the judgemental mind, that plagues so many of us.

Our minds, are like “judging machines”. They constantly evaluate and compare things and people against our list of what “should be” the case! Choiceless awareness is simply being in the now, free from this mental judgement system… it’s accepting reality, even as you might be working on changing it.

The other meaning of “choiceless awareness” is the idea that you are so in touch with reality that your choices are unconscious and therefore “choiceless”…it’s about being in that state of consciousness where “I do not hit, it hits all by itself”.

So fully understanding and then embracing “choiceless awareness” in daily life offers you massive advantages. It reduces stress and anxiety dramatically and also makes living much more like the concept of wu-wei or “effortless-effort”!

Living close to greenery has a profound effect on mental health. Research shows that people who reside near parks, forests, or other natural spaces experience up to a 20% lower risk of depression compared to those in densely packed urban areas. Nature offers a calming environment, reduces stress hormones, and provides opportunities for physical activity, all of which contribute to improved psychological well-being. Unlike crowded cityscapes filled with noise and pollution, green spaces allow individuals to recharge mentally and emotionally.

Scientists suggest that exposure to greenery stimulates the brain’s relaxation response, lowers blood pressure, and even enhances social connections when people gather outdoors. This combination of biological and social benefits makes nature a natural antidepressant. For urban planners and policymakers, this evidence underscores the importance of creating accessible parks and green belts within cities. Ultimately, bringing people closer to nature is not just about aesthetics—it’s a powerful strategy to improve mental health.
