“Nature Has Entrusted The Body To The Care Of The Mind” — Epictetus

The Obstacle

In Our Heads
We Spend Our Hours In Our Minds
Thinking
Reliving
Planning
Forecasting
Arguing
Stressing
Worrying.

Emotions Run Us
Anger
Frustration
Guilt
Shame
Resentment
Happiness.

We Stay In Our Head
Living In The Past
The Future
Fleetingly In The Present.

We Do Not Connect.
Like Our Ancestors Would Have.
Crafting
Hunting
Navigating The
Forest
Plains
River
Village.
Living and being.

Almost All Of Our Anguish
Is Self Inflicted
Torment
Stress
Worry.

Get Out Of There.

We Were Once People
Who Inhabited Our Bodies
As Much As Our Minds.

Connected To The Sun
Moon
Weather
Movements Of Animals
To Each Other
Surviving
Living.

This Required Us
To Be In Our Bodies
As Much As Our Heads.

We Can Get Out Of Our Head
And Into Our Body
Anytime.

Slow Down
Close Your Eyes
Focus On A Feeling
Sensation In Your Body.

Stay With It.

Focus In On Our Movements
Muscles Firing
Toes Gripping
Adjusting To The Ground.

Feel The Weight Of Our Clothes.

Breath
Feel The Life
Air Brings Into Our Body
And Out.

Connect With The World Around Us.

Get Into Our Bodies.

• Close Your Eyes And Focus On A Sensation
• Just Breath. Only Breath As The Thought
• Release Tension
• Be Present Through The Body

CHEAT CODE: STOP → FOCUS ON THE BODY → STAY→ REPEAT OFTEN
