The words aren’t flowing for me today. I’m a little jittery from probably too much coffee. So, I’ll just pass on this interesting tidbit of knowledge which I read about recently, that makes a lot of sense to me. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, (trained at Harvard, no less), found that all of the chemical reactions in our body in response to an event that has happened in our lives, occur within the first 90 seconds of an event. Any reaction after that, is an emotional response to a thought that we are having. So if I wallow in the thoughts that summer is practically over (boo hoo), and some of my kids are out of our safe, little cocoon of a home, and are probably being swallowed up by germs at their college campus, or in their various daily outings, as I write this, my body and my emotions will be reacting to those thoughts, on constant loop. My body reacted appropriately during the first 90 seconds of waving good-bye to our grown young men sons, and the tears sprang from there. Now it is up to me, to change my thoughts, so that my body (and my mind and my spirit) and can rest up in positive, peaceful energy, and thus always be ready for appropriate, natural reactions, when necessary.
