Why we struggle to find balance with health

Tweet

 

During a deep meditation, I had a wonderful insight into mind and body health

They are at the opposite ends of the same spectrum

The body requires effort, stress, resistance and hard work to cause adaptations that improve muscle, lungs and heart

Doing nothing leads to decay and disease

The mind is scanning your environment several times a second for safety and survival, reading every word you see, recognising faces, processing information and never switching off

Doing nothing is the chamber of rest that leads to awareness and inner peace

Why do so many struggle with this?

Because like the body, we think it should be hard work, labour intensive and something that takes years to achieve. It is quite the opposite and the ability to sit still for 10 minutes and be ok with whatever arises can reduce your brain activity, stress and anxiety significantly

The problem?

We call nothing boredom and constantly escape it by being busy and therefore miss the easiest way there is to cultivate mindfulness and peace - this moment. The constant now that never stops

It is all here and it is always accessible

The question is where are you?

The number one thing you need in the online space...

Your number one asset in the online space is resiliency 

As soon as you step up and decide to be more than you currently are you will push away 90% of the population 

They will see your drive to be better and react emotionally to it 

Your confidence will be seen as arrogance

Your strength and fitness will be seen as pride and narcissism

Your success will be seen as greed and selfishness

Your vulnerability will be seen as weakness 

Your efforts to improve will be seen as excessive and an obsession 

Your straight talking and truth only approach will be seen as shaming some group or afflicted people you never mentioned

Every virtue you strive for will be weaponised against you 

Your desire to create the best in others will be seen as a desperate way to be liked and fix your trauma in some way 

They will say you are changing and should stay nice and humble, when you realise these were the very reasons you played small and stayed quiet 

Whatever you do they will find fault in it as they have given up on themselves and hate anything that reminds them of what could have been 

They will do whatever they can to blame you for how they feel and hurt you as you have hurt them by reminding them what they have said no to and accepted in their daily defeat 

You are going against the norm and the odds are stacked against you in the millions

Go get it with both hands
