YOUR Human Check In
- Tree Ryde
Thought
Your human health is so important, you are the only YOU….you have. Sometimes we can get so caught up with all that is around us in life and forget about this human body we are within. It is very important that we all check in with self and make the time to do so. Otherwise you are just riding this train of life and not getting off to smell the roses or to have the human experiences that you are supposed to have forYOU. If you are running around pleasing and fixing other people or sitting around just thinking about what you want to do or just caught up in your head in some way you are on that train. The other saying that comes to mind is “Live your life, do not let your life live you” not sure if it is a quote from someone but it does fit this topic.
Ponder
What in your mind can keep you up at night? Does it have to do with your future (Worry), other people (Guilt), Self (Judgment), or health (worry). Most of the time we do not have control over these things. We do not have control over the future, we can do things to go in the direction we want to go in but the rest is leaving it up to the universe or unknown. We can not control the people’s behaviours around us, nor would we want to. We are all responsible for ourselves. Self…we are born who we are but it is a choice to look down at self or look forward to what you want. Looking up is the better option, also it is where most are looking. The thoughts of self are just thoughts and nothing else, they do not exist anywhere else.
Health..this is a huge unknown, we are here to have human experiences and there is no manual about how or how long we are here for. So while you feel goot, do all that you can. See, feel and hear all that brings a smile to your face or laughter.
