Being Brave

It is a brave soul who is willing to meet his own.

What is it that we have to do to brave our life? It seems that there is so much we are facing right now that what there is to do is overwhelming, too much. Keep track of this and that, do this and that, talk to this person and that person, make sure to follow up on this and that. And, stay well on top of that, have enough energy to perform all these tasks and many more, keep juggling income and paying bills, children, parents and on and on and on.

When is it our turn to receive? I say it's time to let go of the energy that is running all this we have to do. Our internal pressure is what is running the engine for this body of ours. What we don't consider though, is that the engine that is running is also running our adrenal glands, the glands that keep the harmonal balance within our body even, or not. When we are running alot of worry or concern energy within, our adrenal glands begin working overtime to make sure our body's system keep running smoothly. Without proper rest, our adrenals keep working overtime and eventually we can have to slow down, because the body begins to show us by giving us low energy symptoms, like a cold or needing a nap, or other physical symptoms.

Now we have a bigger problem than we started with. Now we must pay attention to the symptoms, take care of them. When enough rest is had the problems disappear, like magic. When the symptoms get ignored the body keeps fighting itself for relief. At some point, you, the one taking care of your body, gets to realize it's time to slow down and rest. Rest is one of the most important missing pieces of our society today.

When you are getting enough rest, meditation, water and balanced meals, you are giving yourself life affirming healing energy. This will also allow you a chance to slow down enough to evaluate how your worries will not solve your problems. Being your own champion, being brave and holding yourself in honor of what there is to do, the time alotted to do it and the time alotted to take care of yourself, if all in balance, will keep you healthy and brave. Learning to say 'yes' and 'no' appropriately will bring you into balance. Therefore, your body will take good care of itself and you will continue to have all the energy you need to do your day.

Peace and be brave enough to rest and be sweet to yourself, here is a video to see it in action.
