Calm Mind - Healthy Body Ron Kness

Do you ever get the feeling like you're constantly putting out fires? Like life is one massive struggle to stay afloat? Do you come home from work feeling tired and stressed and without the energy to do anything other than collapse in front of the TV? Do you always feel like you're just not quite as happy as you think you could/should be? That's life my friend in today's world. Or at least it's life as many of us have come to know it. In fact though, there's no reason this should necessarily be the case. The problem is we're always chasing after the gold at the end of the rainbow and in doing so, we end up chasing out tail and take the time to stop and smell the roses. We're never happy because we're always striving for "the next big thing" and what is coming next. We're always stressed about what's coming up and we never appreciate what we have here and now until we lose it. We think the only way to change this is to change our lives. To work harder and longer, which in the end only adds to the problem. But it's not. The way we change this is from the inside out. We need to change the way we think about our situation and we need to change the way we approach life's problems and the way we enjoy the moment. And that means taking control of our individual minds. Once you can do that, you can take back control and you can feel confident, relaxed and happy in the exact same circumstances. Once you can do that, you can start creating the space to actually plot a course and to start changing life for the better. You can stop treading water and actually start swimming. All very abstract, yes. So far it sounds like a platitude from a bumper sticker. But stick with me, because this is where the science comes in. And it might just change the way you think about your life, your brain and the interplay between the two. In this book, we discuss various techniques in which you can use to calm your mind and improve your health.
