If you’ve ever taken my yoga class, you’ve probably heard me say, “Your body never lies.”
Your body has no agenda to lie; its only agenda is homeostasis - keeping itself healthy. Your mind, on the other hand, lies all the time. That’s how you can live with low grade nagging pain for years until your body starts screaming, and then blame your body for its problems. That’s how you can spend your time telling yourself you suck in some way, or the whole world is against you, or that thing so-and-so said or did is about you, or the things you thought were true when you were 5 are still relevant today. We believe we are the smartest animal on the planet, but we are also the most miserable without cause. How smart is that? How much of what goes through your head every day is useful to you? How much is worth the energy? How much is true? Your brain consumes about 30% of your fuel every day. Are you spending it wisely? Simply thinking ABOUT your thoughts can help you see what’s hurting you. Then, you can choose to change them. You don’t have to believe anything you think. So do yourself a favor, and just, think about it.
