Finding Some Quiet Time In

Everybody Needs A Way Out Of That Pain. Many People Choose Drugs And Alcohol. Some People Obsessively Exercise Or Develop Strange Dietary Habits, Which Is What I Did. At Least It Got Me Toward A Path Of Healthier Living.

A Lot Of Exercise Is Mindless; You Can Have Music Or The Radio On And Not Be Aware. But If You're Aware In Anything You Do - And It Doesn't Have To Be Yoga - It Changes You. Being Present Changes You.

What I Wasn't Prepared For Were The Feelings Of Anxiety That It Stirred In Me. I Wasn't Prepared For The Initial Feeling Of I Don't Want To Have To Do That Again. I Was Scared.

I Think That Things Like Curses Or Whatever - Those Labels - Come From Belief Systems, Universal Belief Systems. So When You Get A Global Consciousness Of Something, Then That Becomes A Quote-unquote "truth" For Everybody. You Know, "this Is What Happens In The Kennedy Family." "this Is What Happens With The Hemingways." And The More People Believe In It, The More It Kind Of Resuscitates The Problem; It Keeps Bringing Life To This Idea That A Curse Exists That You Can Never Get Out From Under.

We Do Have The Ability To Shift Our Paradigms - By Shifting Our Belief Systems, By Working On Ourselves, By Looking Very Closely At How We Show Up In The World. It's Why I'm Into Health And Wellness. It's Why My Partner And I Are Very Focused On Creating A Life That Is About Being Connected; It's About Being Present. Because My Life Was Probably So Much In The Past. I Was So Fearful. I Was So Fearful Of The Future Because I Was So Scared Of My Past. So If You Can Work Towards Being Present, Then You Can Shift.
