What to do when your body says “No” more stress

While our lives get very busy and stressful, our body seems to take the brunt of it.  According to a American Psychological Association study, 75% of Americans experience symptoms related to stress in a given month.  Of those people 77% of them experienced physical symptoms.

While these statistics are startling, it is amazing that we don’t devote more time to create the activities that would minimize the stress to our bodies.

“Breaking up, is hard to do”

The buddhist have some of the greatest expressions. One of my favorites is “the longest journey man will ever take is from our head to our heart.” You could say that this speaks to our desire to stay in our minds, to think too much, to allow the habitual nature of the mind to use the reasoning of the past to make present decisions. The human mind searches past circumstances and past results to find the most expedient response for the moment.
