stop look listen

In the last few weeks people seem to be throwing caution to the winds , rather than seeing their choices restricted they are acting as if they had no choices,and as though other new choices couldn’t be made.Remember the old pedestrian crossing code ”stop, look, listen”look left, look right, look left again, if everything is clear cross the road. In today’s world we press a button, and wait for the green light little thinking is required.

We need to return to considering what we are doing and recover our thought processes. it’s as though these processes have fallen into disuse and we now often act on impulse.Ironic, isn’t it given how dangerous the world has become we are doing things at the danger line and ——— the consequences.When the danger light comes on we run for cover repeating the same type of behaviour and being unable to think about what we are doing.

Change your behaviour stop consider re-plan your day and life’s activities what is happening to us is we are dealing with a terror which won’t go away and is constantly pounding us. As we try to help each other sometimes we become distressed at the lack of our availability to support and help the other according to are usual standards, so when we stop and reflect we can still see the problem and the origin of our stresses look around inside and out of ourselves, and our environment and ground ourselves to take, wise appropriate and safe action.

I worked in flash point areas during ‘the troubles’ and one never knew where the terrorist was and where he would attack next. I see a parallel process here to a degree, but not completely things just don’t repeat, and have similar patterns without hope of chang e if you use your reflective lifestyle you will see possible ways to, ‘cross the road safely’ and be able to get to a new place on the other side. Don’t forget, as you use the notion stop, look listen, look left, look right, look left again,you are exercising your mental powers which are attuned to support new paths of action.

During the recent heatwave we were warned about conserving water but we still can have a shower and enjoy the stimulus this brings,whether you have a fancy power shower or just a basic trickle one the principle is the same enjoy the flow of the water and as you massage your body marvel at it massage your head and be astounded at what it does breath deeply and feel renewed new times will come, and you can help to make them.

LIFT UP YOUR HEART AND RENEW YOUR MIND STOP LOOK LISTEN REFLECT WAIT TO CROSS SAFELY
