In every situation there is exists two worlds; the outer and inner. Most of us are quite familiar with the physical outer world as that is what we see and interact with daily. Our society is overly focused upon the physical outer world and continues to forget about the vital inner world. The inner world is located in our minds; the control center for all of our outer behaviors and performance. Every action you take springs forth from the culture of your inner world. That culture comprises your values, beliefs, goals, and dreams. Much like a computer, your inner world has many programs that run and direct your life.

#17 - How to Calm Your Mind and Body
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had an accelerator and brake for your mind and body? When you are driving down a busy intersection with lots of cars and people around you, do you speed up? Or do you slow down? Hopefully, you slow down. By slowing down you tend to feel more in control of the vehicle; thereby eliminating the chance of causing a horrendous accident. But why is it in life whenever you get in an argument, start feeling tense or anxious, become fearful, or stressed that you speed up! Wouldn’t it be wiser to slow yourself down in those situations much like you did while driving? Instead, you stop listening, speak quicker, blood pressure increases, heart rate races, and mind goes crazy. You are now feeling out-of-control and overwhelmed. You begin to do damage to yourself and others at this point. Why not slow down? It seems when you feel out-of-control and overwhelmed when driving you slow down, but when you feel out-of-control and overwhelmed in life you speed up! I know it is easier while driving because you have an accelerator and a brake. The accelerator when pushed begins to rev up the engine for action and increases the speed of the vehicle. The brake when initiated begins to slow the vehicle down. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had an accelerator and brake for you mind and body? Well actually you do! Check out this episode to find out how a simple technique acts as a break for your mind and body.
