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.
EVERY TRICK IS ALLOWED…
