Fear and anger override our ability to notice cause and effect, to think coherently and to be present.
Potential dire consequences charge up in our body as the brain can not tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined.
When we are angry, we attack what makes us feel unsafe.
When we are afraid, we quickly grab for whatever makes us feel safe.
When we do either, we feel safe in the short term but often consequences magnify in the long run.
When this happens, we get caught in the hamster wheel of reactionary responses that keep us in a powerless place.
When we are in deep fear or anger, we are most easily manipulated.
If you choose, this daily mindful routine is to practice any or all of the following:
-Honesty and Integrity
-Self Acceptance
-Kindness and Compassion
-Self Confidence and Courage
-Vulnerability and Humility
-Gratitude and Appreciation
-Tolerance and Forgiveness
When you embody these qualities, peace and joy become your way and there is no room for anger or fear to take over.
You cease to get caught up in the drama and external control mechanisms of others.
Be love.
Be Joy.
Whatever craziness goes on in the external world, the antidote always is within you.
Much Love,
Dave
