If you’ve lived long enough, you’re likely to feel you’ve been screwed over in one way or another at some point—possibly at many points. ✨ A typical reaction to feeling wronged is building up defenses and walls to prevent it from happening again. ✨ Consciously or not, we decide we need to protect ourselves against such perceived violations in the future. Apprehension builds against things that might or might not ever happen again. The proverbial baggage gets packed and carried. If we can’t put our offended, pained and angry feelings about the situation (or person) behind us and move on, we become harder and jaded. We actually relive the pain, re-hurting ourselves. We begin to become rigid. Our perspectives become more rigid, and our bodies stiffen and become less flexible as tension is held onto them. This affects our mental health and our physical health as well. Arteries, essential to blood flow freely and flexibly through our bodies, harden. ✨Aging begins when anything gets stiff and rigid and loses its inherent flexibility. Youth is associated with flexibility, possibility, unfolding and stretching. Flexibility is a trait of life, and rigidity is a trait of death. The more flexible we can remain, the more we can move on living. Life is challenges and adversity. To believe otherwise is naive. Working to maintain our flexibility in body, mind and soul, the greater our physical and mental health will be. Release yesterday’s chains that bind you. They’re old news. Embrace today.
