It is a fine line between doing what you need to do and, doing what others need you to do. For example, of the 15 leading causes of death - food you eat is the number one and reason for pain and suffering from the chronic degenerative diseases - the science is very clear about this.
As it happens, marketing overcomes you, connivence overcomes you, social pressure overcomes you and, never do you truly get to think for yourself. You end up making decisions based on the unspoken belief you are either immune or immortal to the consequences of your actions?
Trying to do better, you mimic the tenets of lifestyle as medicine, (eat, move, love well, stress less, avoid risky substances and get adequate sleep) going through the motions you get a profound effect physically and even a greater effect on your mental state... but something is just not right? You still live in hope of a better future and a fear your past will come back to bite you. Your better lifestyle will allow some immunity to the ravages of time and like most will believe in being immortal or detached from the consequences of your action. What is the point you are missing? Can you change this for good - you have to accept the truth.
You are going to die and I am going to die, and the gift is - every moment is precious and only precious when you are in it. Not projecting yourself into another time and space - waiting for a test result to come or some weight to be lost. In the moment you are humble - in awe of the interconnectedness of it all. Understanding you are in transition to topsoil.. and there is no time to lose. When looking back some of your actions make you less - not more of yourself. Checking out with a mind altering drugs or living with an unspoken anxiety, all dilute the human experience. To learn, contribute, be a unique genius - the best you can at any given time allows you for the first time to feel freedom. Personal freedom.
If you have a dog or cat, they understand how effortless it is to have the exacting concentration and prefecture required to be that dog or cat. There is no confusion - the life just is. On the other hand you are born with a fantastic memory and incredible imagination to project any future you can think of. This projection or dredging up of memories is where you get in trouble and thus get plagued with emotional storms of depression, anxiety, psychosis, paranoia and apprehension....Like the rest of us!
