The Prepper Broadcasting Network - PBN ONE: Slowing Down

Episode Date: December 2, 2023

By 10am we are all over stimulated and red lining. For the next 12 hours thats how many of us are rushing through life.

Welcome to PBN1. Soggy winter morning. Soggy winter morning. Before we get started, let's make the most of this thing. Let's get comfy. Seated. Laying. Lotus.

Whatever you like. And start breathing deeply. Because today our goal is to slow down the inertia of life. This morning I woke up to a fox. Well, actually I woke up to a French bulldog barking to get out back to go deal with a fox. It's a good thing she wasn't alone. And just like that the engine is revved breathing. Check the tension in your head, behind the eyes. Roll your jaw a little bit. I told you this before the truth is by about 10 o'clock a.m.

11 o'clock the latest we've consumed a lifetime worth 11 o'clock, the latest. We've consumed a lifetime worth of news, images, noises, sounds, radio, television,

people even. And that's not even counting what happens in your own mind, with your own thoughts, concerns, and so on. I think basically by about 11 o'clock, the average person is maxed by what they're capable of taking in. maxed but what they're capable of taking in so how do we slow that down how do we take this life

and slow it way down that's kind of what our goal is here at PBN1. Now if you can focus on your breath you'll always have the ability to do that, even if you can't find time. But there's another message. It's another method rather, not another message. It's pretty effective. You start to think of things as light switches. But you have to really get, you know, aware of what's going on around you. You've got to get aware of the noise, aware of your body, aware of the tension in your

neck and your upper back and all those things. You need a position to breathe and remedy. So now I want you to think about. The what's front and center. In your mind. It doesn't have to be a thought. It could be a noise. It could be a.

Upcoming date. It could be a. Anything. Anything that's got you going. At a million miles an hour. And I want you to think about a light switch. And you hit that switch. And turn that off. And the most important part when you turn it off

sometimes it works, sometimes it won't is that if you do get a brief respite from that thought or that thing breathe into it a nice deep breath and appreciate that layer coming off appreciate that layer coming off.

Appreciate the speed dropping just a little. And you can continue to do those things. Even in the physical world, it helps. Something running, fan running, TV on upstairs, radio in another room, lights, all this stuff combines.

All of this stuff revs you up before you know it, you're going way too fast. You're out of control. So you gotta shut off them lights. You gotta shut off them thoughts sometimes. Every little bit of noise and light, it's all stimulation. Fundamentally, that's what you are. That's what we all are.

We're hyper-stimulated by 10 a.m. And what follows is irritability. So let's shut some switches off. Let's take deep breath Focus on that breath Click the switch off The switch of worry What are you worrying about?

Money? Holidays? What are you worried? Taking a deep breath and switch that off for now Just for now You'll come back to it, trust me. Breathe it out. And if you get some peace from that,

I want you to appreciate it. I want you to make sure that your head and neck and shoulders are relaxed. That you're not carrying tension in there. Jaw line. Nice and relaxed. Deep breaths in and out. Continue one by one TV, cell phones, iPads Switch those thoughts off in your head

Or even in the physical world. If you give yourself time to do this, you can slow it down. It can make all the difference.
