Shift the Focus of Your Attention

by Michael Gusack

 

Yogananda was a spiritual genius of sorts. As I came across this quote, I found

myself wondering…would it be possible for anxiety, stress, and panic to co-exist

with a smile like that?

I’m thinking NOT. If your focus is no longer on resisting, avoiding, somehow

Changing the circumstances or reforming someone’s behavior.

Shift the focus off the stress in a way that is more than distraction or avoidance.

I encourage you to experiment with the power of the smile. And science tells us

that smiling triggers the brains. chemistrty to activate the relaxation response, and

establish emotional balance and equilibrium.
