Have you ever noticed how much you can get done when avoiding something that you can't really face or don't want to do?  It's fascinating to watch.  Cleaning, making calls, surfing the web or staring mindlessly into the refrigerator all come easy when avoiding a particular task.  Sometimes we have to give ourselves the room to squirm around.  As we squirm we may actually be searching for the right word, sentence or skill that we need to face the task that seems so forbidding or draining.

We are frequently unaware of the power of an inner tweak.  Inner tweaking has to do with the little messages that we send to ourselves throughout the day.  For example, our heart is racing after a brisk walk so we tell ourselves to calm down and our breathing automatically slows down in response to our suggestion. Or we notice that we are speaking too loudly so we direct ourselves to lower our voice and it does.  Why is it that we take for granted our ability to make significant physical changes regarding our breathing, our voices and the way we move our body but still doubt the power that we have within to affect our physical health and over all well-being?
