The mind inhabits the body like a visitor in a house. Whatever the body encounters, it is the mind that sees, hears, smells, tastes or feels it. Once the mind has gone, the body is just a co**se. It doesn't care whether it is praised or insulted. It feels no pleasure when it is wrapped in brocade, no pain when it is burned. By itself, the body is an object not essentially different from a lump of earth or stone. And when body and mind separate, speech, which has been somewhere in between, disappears too, like a vanishing echo. Of body, speech and mind, mind is what counts, and it is to the mind that the dharma must be applied.

New Years Resolutions?!?

They often don't succeed because we don't give it enough time to become a habit - or we try to do too many changes at once 🤔

😉 So take small steps with specific targets.

✨S - specific
✨M - measurable
✨A - achievable
✨R - reaslistic
✨T - timely

For an example Hydration - aim for 2 litres a day.
Start with 500mls 🥤🥤 for 7 days, then 750mls 🥤🥤🥤 for 14 days and then 1 litre 🥤🥤🥤🥤.

S. M. A. R. T.

So start making those changes to create your new habits, that simply become your lifestyle 👌 .
