My husband and I went for a bike ride along a fire trail recently to celebrate his birthday. We wanted to do something good for ourselves, rather than indulging ourselves by going out for brunch. While cycling I realised that off-road cycling is a good opportunity to practice living from the heart rather than the head. I was seeing immediate differences between the two:
In my head
- Fearful
- Looked way ahead, into the distance
- Let hills defeat me
- Unbalanced
- Came off the bike
- Got stuck in groves between rocks
- Feet bounced off the peddles
- Fish tailed in the sand
In my heart
- Confident
- Assured
- Balanced
- Looked just a few feet ahead, in the now
- Got up hills with ease
- Made it across every sand bank
- Made it over all the rocks with ease
- Felt grounded
- Happy
This to me was a great reminder of how I need to live my everyday life from the heart. In just one day I was shown the amazing benefits of doing so, so imagine what can be achieved by applying it in my everyday life. Limitless possibilities, and a lifetime of happiness. How amazing.
Background to this is that in the past I have been thinking too much about anything and everything, small and big. This has contributed to years of stress, and illness, including debilitating migraines. Kinesiology balances have identified I need to stop analysing everything so much, but I perceived it as one of those things that’s easier said than done because the migraines have persisted frequently and for a long time. However this time Kinesiology shifted my energy to open my eyes to this amazing lesson while cycling.
