Honor where you are: The foundation of a healthy attitude
“Honor where you are.” You’ve probably heard this directive for wellness. It is a concept common eastern modalities such as yoga and is well documented in Western psychology.
Ceremony, where you are is to embrace the moment and what you personally take. It means that the person you need – and maybe even grateful for the obstacles you had to overcome on the road, because the learning and growth that wonderful person possible. Easier said than done, right?
No wonder. Ceremony, where you are, requires a little slow. This is a big task for a society of busy people. We have the habit of always coming to us in the future, the planning and preparation for a time anyway … and often forget to drink in the pleasures of the present. How beautiful and desirable things we missed – a walk with a friend, a beautiful sunset, the peaceful silence of a clear night – we were too busy checking our e-mail or doing ‘one thing’ the never-end-to-do list?
It is difficult to honor, where we like our minds with all details and always one step ahead to be consumed.
Instead of the positive current phase of our lives, we tend not realistic – and unproductive – nostalgia for the past.
It would be a difficult attitude to develop, but I promise you, there is much for the honor to carry, you basically have to be won. Let us look at the aging preview. Whether you’re 20, 70, or somewhere in between, your real age is only part of the wellness picture. You can determine how old you are, is “just a number”, or you can use this number as a curse. Lately I’ve become more aware of the changes in my body shape and memory. Woohoo! I choose to feel young, while continuing to challenge my body and mind strong. (I love this strong feeling that if I do my strength training.)
Honor the spirit, where you are is a powerful body and mind healing tool. I encourage you to renew their efforts to wellness, both physical and mental health by working to complete this principle to make. Look at your world – you, your friends and family, your community – the clear lens of the present. What is good in your life?
