INSTINCTIVE / MINDFUL RESPONSE
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 § Leave a comment
Eat all the calories accessible to me until I am physically full / Eat what’s nourishing and sufficient
Feel threatened in a conversation, releasing adrenalin to run away or physically attack / Consider calmly the options available to me in the conversation
Let my mind race from stimuli to stimuli / Concentrate with a calm mind
Chase after every skirt and the “biggest” pair of pants (?) / Build a loving and resourceful relationship
Avoid change / Initiate change
Fit in / Stand out
The elephant developed in a world centered around physical danger and survival. To get from the instinctive response to the mindful response we have to tame the elephant.
