😊💜☯️

A young man once approached a wise monk and asked,
“How do I stop overthinking?”

The monk replied:

“You overthink because your mind is trying to protect you… from a future that does not yet exist.

Tell me—who has ever seen tomorrow?
Whatever you fear about it is not reality, but imagination wearing the mask of truth.

So the mind creates problems that aren’t real…
and then exhausts itself trying to solve them.
Like a cat spinning in circles, chasing its own tail.

If you wish to be free, remember two things.

First—your thoughts are not facts.
Most of what you worry about will never happen.

Second—life will unfold as it must.
Release what you cannot control, and respond wisely to what actually comes.

Do this, and your restless mind transforms…
from a loop of fear into a steady river—
flowing, adapting, and at peace with whatever lies ahead.

Understand this clearly:
the mind is often trying to solve problems it created itself.

Trust life.
Act where you can.
Let go where you cannot.

This is the way.”

Moral:
Overthinking is not wisdom—it is fear pretending to be preparation.
Peace begins the moment you stop battling an imagined future… and start living in the present.

Aging with awareness 😊💜

Deepak Chopra, MD Longevity is having a cultural moment. Yet aging is not experienced in a laboratory; it is experienced as your body, your energy, your capacity to recover, and your response to stress.

Your breath can calm your entire nervous system in under one minute — and Stanford just proved it

Most people think stress needs medication, meditation, or long routines.
But researchers at Stanford University discovered something far simpler — a breathing pattern your body is already wired to use.

It’s called cyclic sighing.
Two short inhales through the nose.
One long, slow exhale.
And within minutes, your heart rate drops, your anxiety eases, and your mood shifts.

In a 2023 study, this technique outperformed every other breathwork method tested.
No apps.
No training.
Just a built-in biological reset we forgot how to use.

Five minutes a day can regulate your stress response, calm your mind, and strengthen your emotional control.
It’s not magic — it’s physiology.
Your breath is the oldest tool you have, and the easiest one to reach.

Fun Fact:
Humans naturally perform cyclic sighs during sleep and after crying — it’s the body’s automatic way of resetting the nervous system.

Some solutions aren’t new. They’re ancient — and already inside you.

Yay !😊
I have just signed up to The Long Run September, 2024.
Thank you to all those who have previously donated, had a PSA blood test and or spread the word about the importance of having a test.

This is my 3rd Long Run, I promised myself after my diagnosis, that I would do one every year.
Prostate Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and it sadly doesn’t receive the same funding or awareness of other cancer organisations in Australia.
The Long Run is Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA)main source of fundraising. Hence my commitment to such an important cause. 1 man every 20 minutes is being diagnosed in Australia.

I have set myself some physical targets for the month of September’s Long Run, which I will share on my fundraising page as I progress. If you feel like donating during the month, then please do. There is also a dollar match day, when the sponsor matches every donation made. I will post and make another donation when that day arrives.

Have a fantastic weekend !
😊💙🕺💃

Help love go the distance and support Aussie men and families living with prostate cancer. Register for The Long Run or donate today!

I smile at my scars they connect me to the dark. I smile at my love it connects me to the light… Now is a gift

An interesting article from Deepak Chopra about the power of music ☮️💜🎶

By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCP Soul music appeals to millions of people, but the music of the soul appeals to everyone. It is the one reliable bridge to the soul in every culture, but ancient India made a specialty of it.
