Mine's getting better, thinner and more sensitive
Thanks to an improved regimen of care.
I can actually (almost) pass the Grocery Bag Test....
How about yours?
Is it fat and sluggish?
Gaunt and nervous?
Do you puff going up or down a flight of stairs?
What kind of fuel do you put into your once-and-only life transportation?
Do you clog it with pollutants,
Or hit-and-run, low-grade junk food that your organs have to work overtime to deal with?
Is your brain and liver pickled in alcohol?
Are your lungs slimed with nicotine?
Are your blood vessels clean and clear of cholesterol?
Are your synapses clagged up with drugs?
Do you view your body as an old heap
To get you from birth to death
With the least possible number of tune-ups and overhauls?
Are you dissatisfied and obsessive about it, to the detriment of other areas of your life?
Or do you look after it with loving consideration,
And gratitude for the opportunities for experience it delivers you?
Do you think "If my battery goes flat, I'll get a jump-start?"
Or "If my carby clogs, I'll get a by-pass"?
Get this.....
- You can't trade your body in on a new model. Once this one's clapped out, you're out.
- It's a bloody sight easier to DO good if we FEEL good.
THE 10-MINUTE GROCERY BAG TEST
Preparation time:- (2 minutes)
Test time:- (3 minutes)
Sink-in time:- (5 minutes)
Grab a large grocery bag (preferably paper -- plastic is not a good alternative, unless you're kinky)
Cut out a pair of eye holes.
Get undressed. Completely.
Pull the bag over your head and stand in front of a full-length mirror.
Now look.
What do you see?
(The aim, remember, is Self Honesty. The bag is there to help you be more objective.)
Stay with it for at least 3 minutes.
Remove the bag, and allow whatever occurs to you.
