According to some research about 98 percent are exactly the same as the day before . That would explain a lot , we are creatures of habit . We are creating the same stress on the body as the day before without really paying any attention to what is going on . For example , when I get stressed or tense , my right shoulder hikes up . I have started to become conscious of this and put my shoulder down numerous times per day . One small step at a time .
With all the thinking going on , what chance do we have to fully breathe , feel , and experience life ? The crowded mind makes for a crowded heart . A quiet mind makes for an available heart . Time to embrace silence .
When we are not so full of thoughts - especially those directed at our own body - other parts of us can now surface . We can find more laughter , joy , and kindness . Especially the thoughts that are directed at our own bodies .

Let ’ s leave technology aside for a small amount of time per day and go back to our basic 5 senses . We ’ re tuning into the body , one sense at a time .
