Today's Message

Your Awareness, Your Health, Your Life

By Dr. Bruce Eichelberger

Today's message is about a totally different way for you to take charge of your health and your life. If you follow this approach, it will create a very noticeable increase in your ability to focus, take action and enjoy life.

Ready? Here it is:

Listen to your body.

I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but bear with me. Take a moment to recall the effects of one little word during Awakening. Do you remember what happened when you were asked to 'try' to keep someone from pushing down your hand? This is a perfect example of your body giving you direct feedback about the effect of a thought.

Have you noticed that sometimes you're 'in the zone' and sometimes you're not? Do you find that you go through periods where your motivation and focus are noticeably weaker? Do you experience energy swings, food cravings and crankiness for no apparent reason?

It's not just thoughts that can have these effects. Certain foods, certain activities and even certain people can also shove you off balance. The problem for most of us is that we have so many things going on that it's difficult to sort out what causes what.

One way to sort this out is to pick a specific area – thoughts, foods, or activities – and start noticing how this area of your life affects you. Each time you find yourself off your game, make a mental note (or even write it down!) of what thought or food or activity you had/ate/did within the past 1-3 hours.

Why? Because everything we do has powerful effects on our body. Just like medicine, the right thought or food or activity will help you feel better, function more effectively and have more energy; the wrong ones will do just the opposite.

An amazing number of physical, emotional and mental complaints relate directly to these factors. Please don't take my word on this, ask your body. Your body never lies to you.

I guarantee that if you use your awareness this way, your health and your life will go to a new level of productivity and enjoyment. See the Action Steps for Today for more details.

 

Action Steps for Today

Here at 'Let the Journey Continue' we truly want to give you additional tools to help you achieve more every day.

Today's action steps take you strongly in that directionbut only if you take action. Remember that if you only want it, you're just a 'wanna be' and if you create it but don't act then you're in the same boat as those people who invent amazing things but never see their inventions realized. Creating it requires action on your part—nobody else can do it for you.

So, make a decision today to choose one area you are going to observe. Whether you select your thought processes, your food reactions or your activities, start somewhere. Then, whenever you notice a drop in energy, feeling hyper and un-grounded, mood swings, foggy headedness, or any other signal of imbalance and weakness, take a moment to reference it back to what you were doing in the past few minutes to few hours.

Doing this consistently will bring very clear patterns to the surface. You will begin to clearly see the connections between what you think/eat/do and how you feel. You will find yourself automatically making adjustments in these areas to move yourself towards more energy, more clarity and more enjoyment in life.

Making a Difference - Renee' DeLorge, Team 315

I finally knocked down a wall that has been there most of my adult life.

My brother Robbie is 6 years older than me and I really never had a relationship with him plus he was always too busy to "mess with a little sister." He had a daughter at 16 (he's now about to be 41) and Kristi is a wonderful young lady.

We have been trying to get a 5 generation picture for my Grandma for 1 year and it was because of my brother not committing that it has not been done. My Grandma is in her 80's and it was probably one of her last trips out of town and I was determined to get that picture!

I finally decided to see things through my brothers eyes and called him (which I usually didn't even bother to do when I was in town). He was at my niece's house before I could even leave the church parking lot! We had a good talk and I felt a lot of emotions for him and found out what his life was like. We have vowed to keep in touch, whatever it takes.

I felt like a part of me that was missing has now been restored and I can't wait to talk to him again. I love you guys and please keep your commitments they are worth it!


Word Play

"Try" means an attempt especially when undertaken with little hope of success, as one of a series, or when ending in failure.

You can see the word used in today's article in the line, "Do you remember what happened when you were asked to 'try' to keep someone from pushing down your hand? "

 "Don't Ever Forget" by Maria Julia Bernadette de la Cruz

Your presence is a gift to the world,
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be -
Take it one day at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you'll make it through what comes along.
Within you are so many answers,
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself,
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.
Don't leave your important decisions to chance -
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying -
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously -
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way -
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life's treasures are people... together.

Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don't ever forget for even a day...
How very special YOU are!

Dedicated to Team 453 – Grow and Thrive!
