Now For Tomorrow with Deepak Chopra Religion of Sports

Everyone’s life has failures, disappointments, and setbacks. What makes a difference is the ability to bounce back from the bad things that come everyone’s way.

When you are sustained by love and feel compassion for others, your become part of a constant give-and-take, what a physiologist would call a feedback loop, that goes from your heart to every cell in your body and from you to everyone you encounter.

All of us listen with only half our attention, or even none at all. We are preoccupied with our own issues, especially now in a crisis. It's time to sit down and really listen to someone in your life who you perhaps take for granted or feel frustrated by.

We have all heard about the benefits of exercise, but compliance isn’t easy, especially now with restricted movement. But without guilt you can bring a great benefit to your body by the simple, repeated action of standing up, moving around, and stretching.

Take a moment to expand your reason for being here, in other words, your purpose. When your day is filled with the demands of your job or raising children or keeping up with friends, you are certainly busy, but do you have a purpose? True purpose is very personal, and you alone can create it for yourself.

Take a moment to expand your heart through expressing gratitude. In a crisis the things we usually take for granted are seen in a new light, and one result is a feeling of gratitude that needs expressing. Gratitude is healing for you and at the same time for the person you express your gratitude to.
