Summarizing the 4 Life Lessons
Life Lesson 1: Be an observer in your own life
Stop a couple of times a day and Notice what’s happening in your body and your mind. Make a mental note of what you’re noticing. What are you learning about you? What’s influencing your bodily or emotional reactions? People, activities, food???
Life Lesson 2: Decide what you can control and what you can’t control, know the difference and act accordingly
After you’ve created a couple of data points based upon your observations, is it possible for you to ‘control’ any of the influencers to your bodily or emotional reactions? Change diet or habits of eating, create boundaries around relationships that might be stressors OR if certain relationships are positively impacting you, find a way to spend more time with those folks or in that environment.
Life Lesson 3: Where the mind goes, the body follows…so make it positive
Reread the words after ‘OR’ in Life Lesson 2. Surround yourself with positive people and positive activities including what you read and what you listen to.
Life Lesson 4: Just B-R-E-A-T-H-E
Your breath is always with you. Switch out auto-pilot for conscious breathing a couple of times a day. Notice the difference in your attitude and your ability to respond vs react
S Stop
T Take a ‘conscious’ breath
O Observe
P Proceed
