Broken to Joy: Breaking the Habit of Thinking

(video) It just takes a bit of practice, some time…

It has been helping me the last few days to remember that when I think that I am not in my Heart, that that is just a thought and with that realization I can be in my Heart immediately. We don’t have to do anything to be ourselves, to be in our Hearts because we’re already us, we’re already Here.
What do you do to practice breaking your thinking habit?

Broken to Joy: You Aren't Really Broken

(video) Some days I have felt broken beyond repair. And still there are those moments that let me know that really, I just FEEL broken…. that deep inside I am whole.

What happens for you in those moments? What lets you know that you aren’t really broken?

Broken to Joy Series: Playing with Posture

(video) Posture can be an easy way to check in with yourself and begin to shift habits.

Notice what you do with your body when you are feeling strong emotions like anger, fear, sadness, etc versus when you are joyful, excited, happy and see physically what the differences are… Then start to notice how you hold yourself in general, even when you are not feeling any emotion very strongly.

Many of us hold ourselves in habitual postures of protection for instance, rounding our shoulders and shielding our chest.

What ever you do, as you notice you can begin to play with those postural habits, gently adjusting the body by taking a deep breath in allowing that to expand, straighten, relax or otherwise adjust to upright alignment.

This becomes a fun game.
How am I sitting, standing, lying right now? What will happen if I breathe into this?

What are your posture habits? What do you do to play with them?
