Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.

My two cents: Happy men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.

 

In this moment, let all goals release, let judgment cease, let thought fade, let life be a journey.

 

Happiness, wellbeing and inner peace are part of this journey.

 

Next time you judge an activity, a situation, see if you can tolerate releasing it.

 

What is the worst that can happen with fewer thoughts or judgments.

 

Inner peace could be the answer.

Bouncing Back: Linda Graham; ….Corpus Callosum….

Posted by Marty in Assorted. Tagged: , , , , , .

  
*
*
*
The right and left hemispheres are linked by a small band of integrative fibers called the corpus callosum.
*
*
This brain structure tends to be thicker in women than in men, perhaps explaining why women sometimes process their emotions more easily than men do.
*
*
In addition to integrating the right hemisphere’s felt sense of our emotions with the left hemisphere’s rational assessment of them,
*
*
the prefrontal cortex integrates the various facets or “parts” that make up the personal self,
*
*
creating a coherent narrative of our self and a continuity of self across time.
*
*
It integrates the past and the present with anticipations for the future —
*
*
what we can do about the next unknown.
*
*
It also integrates the focused states of “doing” with the defocused states of “being.”

If it is only 10 minutes a day, the first step moves us out of victimhood, a damn good start!!,

It takes action, minimal action to move us from the stuck, frozen position.
.
.
I have been stuck, helplessly, hopelessly lost in the complexities of complex PTSD. Stuck in my dark garage for six long months, shaking, terrified of the unknown, the unseen, the past.
.
.
Beginning a ten minute mindfulness practice can be the impetus for complete healing, maybe even a journey for the pursuit of happiness.
.
.
The hardest step is the first!
.
.
What holds you back?
.
.
Why do you continue to invest in strategies that are failing to improve your life?
.
.
Healing or happiness will not arrive as long as doubt, worry and unworthiness follow you.
.
.
What will it take for you to change? Take action?
.
.
Can you focus, start a small practice?
.
.
All that other stuff is not working, is it?
.
.
Behaving the same and expecting different results is the definition of insanity, no?

Right versus left hemisphere,,

“Bouncing Back”– Rewriting your Brain for Maximum Resilience: Linda Graham
.

“Left hemisphere: Verbal processing: Language, Speech, Symbols

Right Hemisphere: nonverbal processing: visual images, body movements, emotions, experiences in relationship

Left hemisphere: linear processing (one bit of data after another in sequence)

Right hemisphere: holistic processing (seeing the big picture)

Left hemisphere: logical, rational processing: abstract reasoning and analysis, cause and effect.

Right hemisphere: emotional processing, including processing of facial expressions in fusiform gurus,

Left hemisphere: Sense of social and emotional self”
.
.
.
My two cents: Mindfulness practice, using focus on the breath, trains the mind to let attention fade from the left hemisphere (“The Ego”, thoughts, emotions, desires, needs, judgments, fears, worry, doubt, dissociation), allowing us to cross over to the other expansive side.

Without hardship and loss?

Falling from a Star.

*
Without hardship and loss, happiness would never be a friend.
*
*
Without hardship and loss, my days would be spent chasing desire, needing satisfaction, oblivious to real joy.
*
*
Without hardship and loss, doubt and worry would continue to consume my days, cloud my path, spoil the journey.
*
*
Without hardship and loss, where would the discipline, courage and resolve develop, making happiness possible.
*
*
*
Change, adapt, welcome hardship by staying present, taking action and letting go of that doubt and worry.

My shame, my unworthiness have faded, that feeling of never being good enough, left the building along with Elvis in that Cadillac.
*
*
*
Consequence, no need to run, no need to alter, no need to feel guilty anymore.
*
*
*
Please find unworthy in me, now?
*
*
*
Please point out unworthy so I can sit with it?
*
*
*
Oh, you can find a plethora of flaws, imperfections, outrageous thoughts and emotions, but unworthy, better pack a lunch, it may take a while.
*
*
*
Acceptance releases our self worth, it has always been right there, imprisoned by thought, judgment, fear and doubt.
*
*
*
Accept, let go, release that crap, your chalice of self worth will overflow again.
*
*
*
Takes action, sit today.
*
*
*
