As positively focused karma seems to be dancing gracefully with my frame of mind, today’s post proved easy-peasy to pen since it offers a condensed version of a column copied from The Az. Republic Newspaper 1/9/2017 - in which Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen concur that each of us can cultivate our own sources of renewable energy:
"On any given day, you need a lot of renewable energy from a lot of sources to fuel your body, your brain and your spirit. And sometimes it feels like it's in short supply ... How to cultivate renewable energy sources:
Fuel number one: Optimism—research shows that having positive expectations when faced with tough situations early in life leads to better health and a lower rate of death decades later ...
Fuel number two: Friendship and generosity—friendships provide support, stress reduction, security—in short the emotional backstop you need to tackle challenges of daily life. But remember the energy you get from friendship derives as much (or more) from giving as receiving ...
Fuel number three: Smart lifestyle choices—being undernourished and overfed PLUS being under exercised and over-sedentary are energy drains ..."
See what I mean when I say ‘there's nothing new under the sun’—suggesting that we’re forever seeking, reflecting over and hopefully absorbing classic insights ever more deeply in light of our need to maintain the good health of our mind/body/spirit connection, which depends upon listening for those times when your intuitive powers are hot to release deeper truths concerning subconscious attitudes that lean more often toward negative focus than positive.
If you were asked to highlight the attitude that naturally refuels your energy source, which of the choices below would your intelligence choose to tap into most often in hopes of peaceably defusing the opposition’s defensive reactions, which (when stimulated to erupt) run interference with conflict resolution due to the fact that defensive reactiveness is programmed to release negatively focused attitudes from subconscious storage, baring power struggling fangs aimed at biting your head off, leaving any logical attempt on your part to resolve a long standing conflict in the dust ... so each time the other guy’s defenses emerge, challenging yours to engage in a fiery tug of war for dominance, which attitude will your intelligence pull out out of your thinking cap each time your processor is faced with need to choose effectively amongst these three directives:
A. A passive, dispirited, subservient attitude
B. An aggressive, fiery warlike attitude
C. A wholly assertive, yet calmly proactive, cooperative attitude
Needless to say, if #3 is actually your go-to choice then your intelligence has consciously absorbed this classic insight, concerning how best to lead your spirit toward self-empowerment by gaining and maintaining a growing awareness of your healthy need for inner peace while simultaneously choosing to remain actively engaged with our power-hungry world: Tis wise to draw forth positively focused, proactive attitudes, which, remaining unshakable, are known to naturally fuel renewable energy, most especially when your spitir’s primary goal is to negotiate toward conflict resolution as peaceably as possible no matter how insulting a defensive opponent’s argumentative reactivity may become ... in short, positively focused proactivity serves to douse emotional flare ups with attitudinal consistency.
JUST BECAUSE ONE PERSON HAS COMPROMISED HIS/HER CONNECTION TO DIGNITY DOTH NOT MEAN THAT WHEN GOADED, THY PROACTIVE ATTITUDE, FEELING PAINFULLY PIERCED, MUST CHANGE FOR THE WORSE AND COLLAPSE
THOUGH GOADING MAY PUNCTURE YOUR INNER STRENGTHS, YOUR DECISION TO CHALLENGE YOUR ATTITUDE TO MAINTAIN YOUR SPIRITED STANCE IS ALWAYS A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE JUST AS IS TRUE WHEN YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT RESOLVING CONFLICTS IN A PEACEABLE MANNER AS TO CHOOSE TO RESPOND TO GOADING WITH WORDS THAT SOOTHE THE SAVAGE BEAST (WHICH RESIDES WITHIN US ALL) RATHER THAN PRODDING THY OPPONENT’S DEFENSE SYSTEM TO ATTACK, UNNECESSARILY, REPEATEDLY ...
A goad was a long pointed stick, commonly used to prod oxen.
The biological father of Oedipus, tried to kill his son with a goad when
(Having no clue that they were related) the two met and argued at
A juncture of three roads, offering us insight, yet again, concerning
How often rampaging, fear-based anger is the deadly weapon that
Turns a logical mind into an out-of-control relationship killer ...
