Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

Solving Grief

Here is your Sunday STORY on: THE LOVE OF WISDOM: Various studies have shown that if you enjoy your work and work for joy, it has a positive effect on your health and aging. That of course is following a medical survey, but within WISDOM it is sensible to be aware that too much stress for example can cause health problems. So here we have the CAUSE and EFFECT theory. If we have a career that gives us ill-health we should seriously consider the value of that position. In other words source out the reason for the stress and try and either eliminate it or come to terms with the problem and try and reduce its impact upon your health. Today's illustration is an excerpt from a book. It explains that following a serious incident with health we can remain positive or we can allow its implications to destroy what life we have left. 'A stitch in time saves nine, ' a proverb we can use to help us with our health. If we ever have warning signals that our job is too stressful. We need to reduce the stress or eliminate it. This is WISE. In Wisdom we need to see the beauty of this statement and act. We can see the CAUSE and need to act to save our health from deteriorating. This is not some new glaring piece of news you are hearing, but a timely reminder that WISDOM travels throughout every aspect of our life. If we know what is WISE then we ought to actively apply it. Adversity can strike us all, but the fight against it must be positive. POSITIVE ACTION DURING REHABILITATION Duni Chand was a business executive in his early fifties who suffered a sudden heart attack. His cardiac evaluation and long-term prognosis were excellent. Despite the assurance that he had only a minor, uncomplicated attack and was making an excellent recovery, he simply couldn't get over the mental shock of "having a heart attack." Neither psychotherapy nor physiotherapy helped him during his rehabilitation period. He was somehow convinced that he could no longer lead an active, productive life, and he gave up all efforts in this direction. He started suffering from depression and felt he was growing old rather fast. As a matter of fact, he soon began looking much older than his age, and asked for early retirement from his job. Then there was Shyman Aunder, about the same age and holding a comparable position, who suffered a rather similar heart attack. Although his long-term prognosis wasn't quite as good as Duni Chand's, he returned to work after two months and said, "I like my job better than ever before. It may seem surprising but it is true that I work fewer hours now but achieve more. I'm no longer rushing for the deadline; somehow I just seem to plan things better. I'm more productive, and I enjoy life. I find time to relax and look around; I have time to stand and stare. I never knew the world was so beautiful." Speaking of his wife, Shyman Sunder said appreciatively, "Earlier I never took time to see her lips enrich as she smiled, or her eyes brighten as we talked." (An extract from "Your Life Is In Your Hands." By Krishan Chopra M.D.) QUOTE: "We need quite time to examine our lives openly and honestly... Spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order." (Susan L. Taylor, U.S. Journalist). [[ct]]: Solving Grief

I tried to dream up two songs that sum up both 2012 USA Presidential Candidates for or against?
For POTUS. I thought love? But then his Black body guards lusting at women in crowd and if he's a family man why is his security worse than Bill Clinton? NB not Hillary or Obama both we dearly love so I ask is he racist accordingly? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYeekQkAdc&sns=em For Mitt Romney I thought? Nice family man loves kids but I worried about decision making about dog on the roof shat down the highway? I actually think the founding father's were incredibly wise to not mix religion and politics in the 4th article of statute of independence? So I think as a Christian you'll be safe in the hands of a Latter Day Saint moderate and Missionaries Service will make Mitt a fantastic statesman and father of the nation? What concerned me on the dawg on car roof shat thang? Decision making as Utopian in ideal world of a rational secularism nearly always lacks problem solving grief with constructive input? Like Obama insisting on Black body guards drunk with power? I dont question an LDS marine at 8 foot tall would be decissive its the fanatical obedience in questioning stopping evil? The actual stopping of evil there isn't the problem? Its the choice flow in preventing it happening? My faith doesn't need testing nor atonement prayers for grace its the more holiness give me of his fearing success? Bye example? Appocalyptive dooms day cults? I thought tune? Abba? Take a chance on me? Starship trooper's first in line? Dunno what would Jesus do your songs and why? Is mitt racist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0&sns=em
