The obvious writing on the wall became legible this morning.
Stikki Nikki – the Klingon, as I call her, suspended her unprecedented presidential run.
’twas over for her before she started and there’s still one fella left standing.
She hung in there, sticking to her “I didn’t say that” lines until the inevitable finally dawned upon her around 10 AM this morning.
Nikki, now unglued, can take a seat after her HUGE win in Vermont, where people with no intentions of voting for her if she were the nominee, cast their soy into the mix, hoping to minimize Trump.
So now it appears to be a rematch from four years ago, with two elderly gents running for the prize.
It’s an amazing show to observe from afar, as I don’t care for much of what is seen and heard in the political arenas. Getting caught up in all the B.S. is a waste of one’s life force. It’s far better, as far as I’m concerned, to ignore the babbling and the blundering, and stay busy doing what you love to do.
And what I love is NOT sitting around watching the news.
Watching the news is one of the most depressing, demoralizing and self-defeating things you can engage in… unless you’re able to see the comedy in it, and that’s hard to do as much of it is maddening.
This is why one of the best things you can do is turn off the idiot box and get something accomplished that is meaningful to you.
Go to that quiet place within, that foxhole, as President Truman once called it, within your mind.
This may not be easy as the schnews is addicting. Believe it or not, we can get addicted to being pissed off by
what we see on the screen or hear on the radio. Most of it is NOT good, and yet we can still feel an urge to tune in.
Finding that foxhole within, that place of inner peace is key.
I do so in three main ways. One is primarily psycho-spiritual, the other two, which I will cover now, start out physical, then become something more.
Power Postures, for example, is a practice I engage in to increase the strength in my tendons, ligaments, bones and fascia. I stand in various postures that make my body shake and quake from the inside-out. And as this takes place, my spirit is renewed along with my body. I get into “the Zone” and feel cool, calm, and collected the rest of the day.
The other practice, Dao Zou, is something I began teaching almost 20 years ago. It is, in many ways, the perfect way to “unwind your mind,” to “unplug” from anger, frustration, sadness, grief, and so on.
Think of it this way: Your mind is organized in such a way that you cannot feel negative when you’re moving in reverse. It’s as though your mind is plugged into an electric socket and when you move in the opposite direction of everyone else, you unplug yourself from what is troubling you.
This happens automatically.
Without even trying to feel good, you are able to not only take a step back, but to see things from a different viewpoint, one that allows peace of mind to take hold of you; one that empowers you; one that allows you to laugh at the farce taking place in this whirld.
Want some of that, then click the links below and you’ll soon experience the reality of what I’m talking about.
Here endeth the lesson.
