Are you in Charge of your Life?

Take charge over your life.
How many times have we not thought about that?
Once a day or once a week?
Maybe it comes once per year due to an event occurring.
Whatever it is it’s good for us. We take an inventory over things that happened. Look over the social net of people we surround us with. Where do I live? Am I happy there?
We think about the financial structure. Is it working for me?
Do I make enough of money? If not how do I do?

I love changes. Not many people like changes.
We don’t have to make huge changes just small adjustments.
Think about what it can do for us.
You can have a new home. A new profession. A new spouse.
The options are numberless.

Some people do whatever it takes to make too many changes.
It is like they find it thrilling to do that.
We humans are in way set in our minds.
When we look of how we structure things around us.

The brain likes to have everything in an order.
Every night when we go to sleep the brain deletes old unused programs. It organizes it in files. When we need it the brain just have to go to that specific place to use it.
When we are in a stressful environment or state the brain can not get in to the files due to a net, like a filter.
The more stressful we feel the tighter the net will become.
Then the brain signals can’t get through. We are getting confused. Confused people do nothing.

Have you ever been in to the crazy situation of doing nonsense things like watering the flowers, doing the dishes when you need to do phone calls, meeting etc?
Well it s the brain telling the body to do some actions.
The brain wants everything in order s the body starts to create it. Not the things you would like to have done. The brain is confused and sends down strange information to the body.
So it starts watering the flowers instead.

If you are confused take a power nap. Just lie down and do nothing. Think about the brain. How it is working now to set everything in an order.
You just need to rest for 20 minutes.
Look at the Latino countries how they do. They take siesta in the middle of the day when it is hot.
In that way you will have more energy. You ill also have more strength during the whole day.

It is important to slow down our tempo time to time.
Let things have its course. See how old people walking, slowly. Have you noticed why people run in the office?
Will they finish earlier or the job gets quicker done?
There are so many strange ways to live at.

I prefer to stay healthy. To eat well. Be able to have a good sleep. Let the brain work in a quiet environment.
Be out in the nature. That’s great healing for us.
Stay in love. Laugh a lot and be happy.
