Remember Mindfulness \u2013 feel your body from top to toes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it simple <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking, feeling, perception and intuition are the four functions of the ego, according to renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung. Employing these, we interpret and respond to reality. That works best when we have rid ourselves of the burdens of the past and the future and simply focus on today. We distort our grasp of reality by our opinions, our needs or our expectations. We must keep it simple, then we can progress our personal development. Do I appreciate that I must build my life on a foundation of reality? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you lack understanding and you are unable to control your mind, your senses do not obey you, just as unruly<\/em><\/strong> horses do not<\/em><\/strong> obey a charioteer. Hindu, Upanishads.<\/em> Total control of my mind will probably never happen, but I must remember that my thoughts, feelings and actions are all connected. If I focus on these and do not let my opinions and expectations get in the way, then I will be able to make the right choices. I will use meditation and mindfulness to help clarify my thoughts.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
