Why present moment awareness?

When you are not AWARE you are at the mercy of thought. This allows anxiety and fear to manifest.

We mistakenly think that unless we worry about things, then we are not in control of our life. This is an error, we are not doing the thinking. Thinking is something that happens to us, it is self-serving and has no useful purpose. In fact the uncontrolled feelings of fear are one of the effects.

When we become AWARE of this we take the first step towards freedom. Without present moment awareness we have no free will.

So now we have a choice …

There is so much advice floating round in cyberspace right now on virus prevention and immunity. My own advice is fairly simple:

1. Eat a balanced diet - maybe cut meat consumption to 1 meal a day, or even every other day. Eat more plant based food, and a variety.

2. Exercise - during lock down that might be limited to walking, or home based options such as yoga, tai chi, treadmill and so on. Staying fit builds immunity and helps our tolerance to everyday stress.

3. Try and get some sun on our skin each day...

Our 14 point plan starts now!

1. Do what we love. Take a chance on ourselves. We only pass this way once in our lives. What could be the one thing that we will look back at the end of our life and wish we had done? Does it align with our values? Do that.

2. If we still don’t know what that thing is yet, just ask the Universe. And then wait for the answer. It will come and it will excite us like nothing else. If it doesn’t, then that wasn’t the answer. It will probably involve helping someone else to do something they couldn’t do before. That feels good, right? Keep asking.

3. Do not procrastinate. “We don’t have time right now.” Time is all we have. How we choose to spend it is our conscious choice…

Hello!

I thought that was a much better title than “you-know-what”. It’s also an excellent Carole King song :)

At the time of writing NZ has moved to health alert level 2. So at this stage restaurants, nail salons, hair dressers and Zero Balancing bodywork therapists are still open. Wahoo!!!

However, the situation is obviously changing day by day, so check back here if you are unsure or call me if you have any questions…
