Life was never meant to be a struggle

"Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle" is the title of an amzing book written by Stuart Wilde.

I would have to say it was the best 5 bucks I ever spent.

Here are some take-a-ways that were useful to me:




If I have an ailment with my physical body: realize the weakness is a gift. It allows me to express power in spite of my condition. And the extra time it takes will allow me to enjoy the journey more fully.

Train myself to be more forgiving of myself, and I will see my life in an infinite sense – not a finite sense. Everything becomes a lesson, a way of strengthening me.

Only the fool stands and fights; the sage walks away. Avoid people and situations that drive me crazy.

Are my circumstances designed to nurture me?

To win a moral victory at the expense of my sanity is dumb.

Am I going too fast??

Never be afraid to let people go if they’re not right; often that’s the only way you can make room for the right person

If conditions don’t suit me, then set about changing them

I am the cause of struggle if there is struggle.

Place myself in a non-confrontational mode, first with myself, and second, with the world around me.

Meditation ~ Mindfulness Walking...

In an article on complementary and alternative medicine, the Mayo Clinic Web site calls walking meditation "an efficient and healthy way to relax."

Meditation while walking is a great way to achieve calm and relaxation as well as physical exercise.

If you like to walk, in adding meditation or mindfulness to your walking regime- you not only get the health benefits of exercising your legs/arms and cardiovascular system, but you add on benefits and a dimension extending to your whole being - mind, body and spirit.

Here are a few tips on meditation or mindful walking:

1. Begin your walk by concentrating on your breathing. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm or belly.
Feel your rib cage expanding and contracting with each breath. After a few deep breaths, begin to count how many steps you take on each inhalation and exhalation.

2. Try not to think about what you have to do for the day, your last conversation or what you'll make for dinner. Just think about how your body is feeling as it moves.

3. Feel your feet as they touch the ground: heel, ball, toe. Stay with the rhythm of heel, ball, toe and imagine yourself striding with confidence.

4. Try bringing your awareness up past your feet to your legs and hip joints. Feel how they move as you walk. Then notice your arms swinging freely from your shoulders in counterpoint to your legs. Picture yourself moving through life with perfect rhythm and flow.

5. Focus on your center, just below your navel. Imagine that you feel all your movements originating from there. Feel your entire being as one whole/smooth movement.

6. Expand your awareness to include everything around you. Feel your-self and your environment merging. Try to notice every rock, tree, cloud, breath, dog, breeze, smell, etc. Remember to include yourself in the picture.

7. As you walk, add a verbal affirmation and repeat it silently to yourself, such as, "I feel great today" or whatever makes you feel good.

Most of these tips can be adapted while exercising on a treadmill or other cardiovascular machine as well.

Until next time...

To your Mind, Body & Spirit ~

Many Blessings,

Dr. Mike Davison
