Quantum Wellness

Hello all:

I'm reading a good book right now by Kathy Freston called "Quantum Wellness". I'm not a vegetarian, but she has some good recipes for vegetarians in her book. It is a really good book about having or maintaining a healthy body, mind and spirit. On page 160 she has a section called "Accept What Is".

Part of this section reads:
"When we try to keep fear at bay because we think it would be better to "let it go" or "be brave," we actually feed the energy of the very thing that stands in the way of our progress. Suppressing difficult feelings is hard work.
It's time to open up, to go deep. Every time you are tempted to shut down, breathe deeply and listen. Find compassion for the parts of you that are suffering. Facing the suffering is what will alleviate the fear, not turning away from it. In fact, when you do this, when you face your fear, you discover that there is nothing to fear, because the worst is happening and you are actually okay."
*********************************************************************
That is good information as we all have tough situations that arise in our lives. Loved ones pass away, sickness comes into your life, you lose your job after many years of service, or someone simply runs you off the road. Whatever the case may be, just be in the moment and accept it. As it is said, "This to shall pass."

If you are sore from bootcamp, breathe into it, soak in the tub with some EPSOM salt and drink lots of water! Work through it as you work through other things in your life that seem overwhelmingly difficult at the time.

All my best,
