Sea monkeys in a lab


I am inundated by adds selling things to alleviate aging and stress.

Meditation, oils, pills, ways to move, or places to walk, you name it, somebody's selling it.

And I am pretty sure they all work for somebody!

Everything works for somebody!

But I have a suspicion that it is less about what you do, or buy, than what you think.

The human body is an amazing piece of work. Designed to survive and evolved over thousands of years it can do more things than most of us ever dreamed of, but we have to get out of the way and let it do its thing.

I mean REALLY get out of it's way. REALLY believe, because I believe most of us, including me, are like sea monkeys in a lab. We swim around, curious, excited, getting into everything. Tipping things over, breaking things, eating anything we can cram in our mouths, and either ignoring most of the simple things that seem so logical to this person or that, or trying to embrace them all.

If we ever got it all together and got out of our own way, we might see the key lying on the table, insert it into the door, jump out of the fish bowl and float out into the healthy, fulfilling life we were designed to have.
