In Martial
Arts we're taught to GO WITH the force coming straight at you.
Resistance to the force creates struggle.
Flowing WITH the force creates more FAVORABLE
RESULTS!
Stress is
a killer. And its existence comes from nothing more than my
FIGHTING WHAT IS.
Without
even broaching the recent medical discoveries linking stress
to conditions ranging from heart attacks to, yes, even various
forms of cancer, let’s just observe for this conversation
what stress is doing to our here and now.
My stress
is literally stealing my ability to be Present
with life and also with my ability to BE
ME. Stress takes me out of my experience of life and catapults
me into the future. I'm not here! I'm elsewhere, out there somewhere,
caught up in the fight, combating the unbeatable battles between
what SHOULD BE and WHAT IS.
"But
look at what's happening to me in my life! You'd be stressed
too!"
My refusal
to accept what IS & to give it my permission to exist, only
keeps me in my own state of resistance.
And in that state I'm denying myself the very resources I need
to move me thru it!
