If I feel tired, I give my cells sleep.

Really powerful thoughts are perceived as powerful because they simultaneously run multiple circuits of emotion & physiology. Thoughts that we would define as neutral are perceived as neutral because they are not stimulating complex circuitry. Paying attention to which array of circuits are are concurrently running provides us with tremendous insight into how our minds are fundamentally wired, & consequentially, how we can more effectively tend our garden. .............

At the same time, I listen to my body when it speaks to me. If I feel tired, I give my cells sleep. When I'm feeling sloth-like, I give my cells movement. When I'm in pain, I become quiet. Pain is the tool our cells use to communicate to our brain that there is trauma somewhere in our body. Our cells stimulate our pain receptors in order to get our brain to focus & pay attention. Once my brain acknowledges the existence of the pain, then it has served its purpose & either lightens up in intensity, or goes away.
