Feeling stressed? Welcome to life. Personally, I think the world is wired to encourage stress so that lots of different companies can make lots and lots of money.
Think about it.
What do we Earthlings do when we’re feeling stressed? We turn to wine, beer, liquor, marijuana, fast food, processed food, expensive dinners out, expensive vacations or a session of retail therapy. Many of us do these things because we don’t have the tools we need to manage our stress. It’s that simple. We turn to something outside of ourselves instead of looking inside, where all the power lies.
Breaking free is simple. And best of all, it’s free.
Close your eyes and breathe. Focus onyour breath going in and out of your nostrils. Imagine your thoughts are tied to the strings of balloons. Let them float away. You don’t need them anymore.
Do this for two minutes a day. Anywhere. Lying in bed, in the shower, on the toilet (really!), in line at the grocery store, sitting on your front porch in the morning, anywhere.
It’s a re-boot for your brain that lets you approach your day from a place of calm instead of a place of overwhelm.
There are 1440 minutes in a day. Can you devote 2 of them to staying on your surfboard as you ride the wave of life? 2?
Try it. Just try it. Surf’s up, kids. Let’s ride!
