Our lives are continuously being bombarded with information. The 21st century is the age of information. We are addicted to it. We eat to it, drive to it, do almost everything with it in our presence. It's always there. On our cell phone, television, radio, newspaper, magazine, PC, etc.
Have you ever thought about the content of the information you are engulfing daily? How much of it is uplifting, affirming, encouraging? Or is it condeming, destructive, death-dealing, down right difficult? Ever notice how you feel after listening to either one? What was the rest of your day/nite like? How is your body responding to it? Do you know?
Most are do not tune into the affects of external information, so what about the internal? Our body is constantly talking to us, what is it saying? What does it want for us or from us?
We need to tune into our internal dialogue in order to better understand ourselves and the impact of external information on us. Did you know that one's blood pressure elevates with negative information and lowers with positive?
Our bodies are affected by EVERYTHING we take in. So we may want to be aware of the amount of negative information we allow in our lives.
We've all heard the saying, "Take time to smell the roses." By doing this we are in effect allowing ourselves time to enjoy the positive things in life. Read uplifting books, enjoy sitting in the sun at lunch, take a walk around the neighborhood and visiting with loved ones. It will improve your overall health and well-being.
While doing the positive things, note how your body feels. Where did that headache go, and the pain in your (body part)? Interesting how it works, but it does. Try it and let me know your response.
