Continuation from last week…..(How Desires Trigger Stress)
What you don’t realize is that most of such desires trigger various STRESS energies within your being. They do so through a hidden veil of failure. If you think about it, very few of your daily desires come to a fruition. Perhaps less than 1%. The rest are associated with failure.
Allow me to illustrate. If a beautiful woman or a handsome man walk by you an automatic desire to possess them will appear in your realm of consciousness. Yet, as it does, your mind will automatically (most of the time) shift into the state of failure by suggesting that you are not …….nice enough, rich enough, good looking enough, successful enough, etc….to be with such a person. In other words, you own mind will throw your entire being under a bus. Into a bin of failure.
Guess what happens thereafter? That’s right, your mind will go into overdrive by thinking that you need to be MORE successful, make more money, work out more and so forth. All just to be on the “presumed” equal footing with the person you have just desired a few seconds ago. Yet, that desire to be something MORE will bring a tremendous amount of STRESS into your life. Why? Because to your mind, you own being is never good enough. You are always on that treadmill chasing this fad or that idea, without realizing a simple truth.
That your own mind or thought processes are destroying you from the inside out. That desires your mind generates bring a constant state of activity into your realm of consciousness. And activity and STRESS go hand in hand. On a flip side, if you are aware of how this entire process works, you would be able to prevent all desires from manifesting within your mind. Leading to a STRESS free existence.
Care: Care for things works in a very similar fashion. Yet, an important distinction should be made first. The care we are talking about has nothing to do with care for your loved ones. This section concentrates on care for physical things, vested interests and preconceived outcome.
A strong desire for certain things or interests will lead you to care a little too much about certain outcomes. What happens is, your mind takes most of your desires and project well into the future. Suggesting that you will be able to achieve them all. However, that rarely happens. Most desires remain desires as your mind continues to play cunning tricks on your being. What’s worst, since you care way too much about certain outcomes, when they don’t develop, your mind automatically dumps your entire being into that same bin on failure. Bringing a substantial amount of STRESS along for the ride.
In other words, since you cared way too much about a certain outcomes, when such outcomes are not achieved, STRESS energies enter the picture.
For example, that is one of the primary reasons as to why so few people can lose weight and keep it off. In essence, they care a little too much about the outcome. Before they even begin the process, the mind projects the state of success well into the future. Instead of concentrating on the work that needs to be done, their mind concentrates on the final outcome. An obese woman might begin thinking how she will lose 120 lbs over the next 6 months, buy a red bikini and automatically grab the attention of many good looking men. She then begins to care a little too much about this particular outcome. With it, her life will be amazing, without it, it will be an absolute failure. A life not worth living.
The problem is, it is incredibly difficult to lose that much weight over such a short period of time. While the first 20 lbs might be easy, the rest of the weight will require an immense effort. Yet, if she is like most people, her mind will not be ready for it. Remember, her mind had already shifted to the state where success is achieved. It is living in a fantasy world. Yet, when the reality hits and our subject begins to fail in her ambitious pursuit, the mind will immediately shift into the state of failure. And that will bring massive amounts of STRESS into her life by confirming two things 1. That she is a failure and 2. That she will never be able to have the life that she wants.
That’s how cunning the mind is. If left unchecked it will destroy you from the inside out. In this particular case, as we become aware of the mind inner workings we can begin to understand how desire and care work. How they bring STESS into our realm of consciousness. Then, by turning them off we can eliminate STRESS from our daily lives.
