How To Check Your Vital Signs…

Have you been to the doctor lately?  You may recall a familiar set of things a doctor or nurse checks at each visit – temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate.  

What they're doing is checking the 4 basic vital signs to assess how your body is functioning.  It's pretty standard, and easily monitored.

Likewise, in your EveryDay life you can routinely check the vital signs of your mind to end any unecessary suffering that may be present.  There are 3 signs to look for: Acceptance, Enjoyment, and Enthusiasm.

Eckhart Tolle calls these vital signs the Three Modalities of Awakened Doing.  One of these things needs to be present & operating in anything we are engaged in doing.  If none of these modalities exist — whether you're doing something as simple as reading this post, to a complex task at work — then you're basically screwed, or more accurately, you're creating suffering for yourself & others.

Today & EveryDay: Get into the routine of being present to your state of mind in every single activity you engage in.  Look for the presence of Acceptance, Enjoyment, or Enthusiasm.  Check Your Vitals!  Suffer No More!
