In a world where
awareness and intention long ago lost the battle to mindless surrender, we're
not even the exception. For years, if
not decades, we've been living with an undiagnosed condition: Reactive Life
Syndrome. Living each day not by choice,
but by default.
If you're like the
average person, you will check your smartphone more than 150 times. You'll lose more than three hours in the
process and end up on Facebook without even thinking about it.
Before you can make
intelligent decisions, before you can stop reacting and start acting, you need
to cultivate the ability to hit pause.
To slow down just a bit, reconnect with who and what matters, to see
what is really happening in the moment, to consider whose agenda you're
responding to, then deliberately choose your actions based on that awareness
and intention.
Sleep loss is
associated with a 200 percent rise in cancer and a 100 percent rise in heart
disease.
When truth meets
joy, radiance ensues.
Fast and busy are a
choice.
Belonging begins
with safety. There needs to be an
understanding, either explicit or strongly implied, that this is a place and a
relationship where you feel safe enough to be the real you.
Real happiness comes
not when you choose to be happy, but when you discover the things that will
make you happy and then do them.
