Fridays
You are what you think about all day long
We are subject to our emotions
How are you thinking about things?
Do you believe what you are saying?
Your thoughts dictate that.

ZEN
Don’t resist the now. This is what it is. Decision is making a muscle. You need to know where you are going. I'm not going to do that it's to scary, or its going to take too long. It doesn't feel good, is the type of society we live in. Right Action. This is what is required do be done and I'm going to do it to move on...
It is messy. It's not smooth sailing.
Walk through the fog of bad emotion.
Accepting the now.
Learning how to hold state is a life goal.

“Most illnesses creep in when you are not present in your body” Eckhart Tolle.
Excessive thinking is detrimental to our health. It places too much attention on our thoughts which in turn traps excess energy in our head causing tension, restlessness, being on edge, concentration problems and insomnia just to name a few.
Excess thinking disconnects us from our body and deprives our body of valuable energy flow and health. As Eckhart Tolle says “The more consciousness you bring into your body the stronger your immune system becomes”
An obvious solution is to remember we have a body and to be more mindful of feeling and breathing into it, whenever we can. The purpose of course is to re-direct energy and awareness away from the head and thoughts, and back down into the whole body and present moment.
One way to achieve this is with a simple relaxation exercise called “Mindfulness of the body via the four access points”. I learnt this very short, yet surprisingly effective health ritual at one of Dr. Ian Gawlers workshops and fell in love with it instantly.
Hope you find it as helpful as I have. You only need a few moments and can do it anywhere, anytime. Practice in the shower, before you get out of bed in the morning, or in the car before you are about to drive off.
You could also easily enjoy it as a 5 minute meditation practice – if you chose too.
