Escaping the Endless Stress Cycle – Coming Home to Tranquility… Inner Solutions for Everyday Life

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Do you feel sometimes like your chasing endlessly trying to catch up to your destination except that you have lost sight of even what your destination might be? Does feel like your life is more about looping around trying to catch your tail and catching your tail instead of catching up with life?

Well truth is, you are not alone, millions of people from all walks of life feel this way, and it has become synonymous with everyday, Global modern living, almost by default, as if no one has a choice about it.

This is such a common & widespread belief/idea that most often many people feel trapped and experience a no way out Situation.

This thought/feeling that things are as they are, and that none of us can change it leads people to life a life of upstream battle full of Stress, uncertainty, instability, and frustration at the very least.

It would be nice to have a way out of that dizzying cycle, a way to experience tranquility, to come home and rest a while anytime we wanted, by our choice, decision and our will.

Before we commit to a direction of a choice we need to know that the choice/decision we are considering making is a real possible choice not just an idea, or wishful thinking, a hope or a just a dream.

I believe that if the quest/question has arisen from within, then so to will the answer come from within. 

A wise person said once that if a question didn’t have an answer in the Universe, then it wouldn’t be a question, that if a question is really a question, then by the virtue of it being a question it must have an answer.

We must seek that which makes us feel whole, and we seek that because that is our true nature, and we must be that which we are.

Even if we forget to be who we are for a time, or pretend that we are other than that which we truely are: whole, complete, and perfect.

Sometimes like children a Birthday party we dress up and play this game that we are clowns, angels, fairies, or cow boys, but at the end of the night the costumes become a burden, we are tired and weary, and it must all come off.

To experience truth and true peace, not only must the costume come off, but the mask as well.

We must see ourselves in the mirror, and find our true identity, claim what is there waiting for us, and be gratified to be who we are, celebrate it, and enjoy the gift that we have been given.

The gift, non other than we ourselves, the greatest treasure of perfect beings born into this earth to learn our lessons and grow.

If you need to find yourself, you must start from an original and true point, your home inside…

This will be a joyous ride.

‘Pleasurable Consumption’ – What is it? And Why it makes all the difference, In You enjoying & making the Most of Life.

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

I first heard of ‘Pleasurable Consumption’ some 10 years ago, and have since expanded the concept to embrace more and more in my life.

 

Most of us don’t live on a deserted Island, and more accurately we depend on many people, systems and tangible things moment to moment and day to day, to make our lives possible if not to make it easier.

 

Consumption is what you use in life. 

Whether it’s your ‘fingers’ or your ‘Ferrari’, it is what you have in your life, what you use, make use of, and depend upon, the things that you surround yourself, including the people that are around you.

 

‘Pleasurable Consumption’ is at it simplest the idea of enjoying what you have in your life. 

 

The simple logic being : that if you already must depend on a multitude of things to sustain & support your life, what better decision or action than the decision & action to really truly and fully acknowledge, fully use, fully appreciate,  and fully give credit to that what has supported you and made your ‘life’ possible as you know it , and probably better than you could hope for.

 

If you can live your life from this lens of fully appreciating & utilizing (which is the highest form of flattery)what you already have in your life, not only will this make your life fuller and more enjoyable, but is Most Likely to attract more good in your life.

The more you can enjoy what life brings your way, the more you amplify the ‘Good’ in your life.

 

Actually you can have it be ‘good’ by your saying so, because it is possible to transform what ‘ Is’ by the way you ‘See it ’ and ‘call it ’, so that even the so called ‘bad’ in your life, can have some good or benefit to it if you are willing to find the good and affirm that in your thought and awareness.

 

So as they say: “ Get rid of dull Dogs that spread Blue”, be the pack leader in your life, and have your life be just as you wish it to be.

 

To your Healthy Life,
