Your Body Is Stubborn!

How often do you “know” or “feel” exactly what it is that you want (or need) to create a better life for yourself? Now, how often do you follow through with the steps to accomplish your goal?

The reason you may not “do” what you “need to do” is twofold:

Your body is locked in habit and feels much more comfortable with the status quo than with change.
Mind and spirit are often working for change long before your body makes it off of the couch.

Everything you “do” depends on your body’s cooperation. Your mind and spirit easily accomplish miracles…but if your body doesn’t cooperate by doing what needs to be done, then you do not reach your goals.

Your spirit and mind do not effectively communicate with your body.

Mind tells Body to “Just do it!”
Spirit tells Body “I will support you every step of the way!”
Body hears, “Blah Blah Blah!”

And your stubborn body thinks, “You two are nothing like me! You don’t understand!" and continues to follow habit. (If you have kids then this conversation probably sounds familiar!)

In many ways, you’re body is right. It is the only member of this powerful group that lives solely in the present and relates to everything in this world only through what it sees, hears, feels, tastes and smells. If you were only your body, life would be very different indeed.

Fortunately, you’re not only your body, and our world is not only made up of what your body senses. The trick is getting your body to accept this idea as fact.

It is possible! Think about Helen Keller and Teacher at the water pump and that remarkable moment when Helen understood that “water” had a name. The whole world opened up to Helen at that moment – everything she had known previously took on new meaning!

The same is possible for you. You can gently retrain your body to understand more than what is directly in front of it by using items that are, well, directly in front of it.
