We are all creatures of habit. But are those habits are good or bad? If we just keep on doing what's not very wise, we will sooner or later pay a price. Yet sometimes we fall into what we consider to be 'good habits' but they aren't actually as good for us as we would like to imagine. If, for example, those habits involve being so wary of trouble that we start looking out for it at every turn, we may end up protecting everything but our blood pressure! We forget this factor and invite health troubles.
When we look at professionals with their smart suits and confident attitudes, we can easily imagine that they have no pressing, hidden emotional needs. And when we see folk who appear to be on the edge of despair, we find it hard to envisage how, with a little recovery, they might equally adopt responsible roles in society. The truth is that we are all performing a bit of a balancing act. You are now keenly conscious of your vulnerability and your strength. As long as you are afraid of neither, you can chose between either! But problem lies within our mind-heart-body.
