E39 Escapism and Your Success |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz “Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but recognizing that we are more than our thoughts and our feelings.” — Arianna Huffington Our nervous system needs a certain amount of escapism from the continuous bombardment of external stimuli. Your soul and your nervous system need time for rest, recuperation and protection every bit as much as your physical body. You can create a quiet room in your mind as a place to escape to several times a day. Every time you go there you are clearing your success mechanism before taking on a new task. It is especially important to do this at the end of the work day as a way to transition. Insomnia and rudeness are often emotional carry-overs. If we don’t clear our mind before bed it can lead to us mentally and emotionally still trying to solve problems. But the really helpful thing to know is that friendliness, love, peace, quiet and calmness also carry over. Spending a few minutes in the quiet room of your mind wipes the slate clean of negative emotions and moods.
