How do we maintain
our equilibrium, our balance?
How do we recognize and accept what is likely to come our way, based on our jobs and life style choices?
Here's a great story, perhaps it could even be looked at as a *Zen Koan:
One day a young woman was riding in a taxi and
broke a fingernail. She pulled out a
nail file but before going to work on that jagged nail she remembered some people
couldn't stand that sawing sound.
"Do you
mind," she asked the driver, "if I file my nail? Will the sound disturb you?"
"Lady," he
responded, "if I let something like that get me, they'd have to lock me up
in St.E's (the local mental institution)…
*a paradoxical anecdote or riddle, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and to provoke enlightenment…
Do you get the moral
of this story?
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas...
Take a moment to think about and evaluate your life
choices and the stresses that come with them…
Some stress you can actually eliminate or lower…
Perhaps the real stress reduction comes with the
wisdom of that taxi driver:
'This is normal for what I have chosen to bring into
my life.'
The next step is to honor your life choices by
honoring the stresses that come with them…
Remember that great saying about elephant trainers?
