My old laptop had years of ‘junk’ on it – you know the files I’m talking about, the ones you really don’t need to keep, never intended to keep but just haven’t round to deleting yet.
It had software on it that I just don’t use any more, and a TON of picture files that could be binned and never missed.
It’s slowed down over time and really could have done with a complete re-install of the operating system ages ago – blue screens of death with various error messages but, to be honest, that’s such a mammoth task so whilst it was working ‘okay’ I decided to just carry on do the best I could with it.
Eventually, various events conspired against me which resulted in having to buy a new laptop.
I have a clean and shiny new hard drive and have turned over a new tech’ leaf – I’m NOT going to fill it with rubbish and junk that’s just going to slow it down and decrease its rather whizzy performance over time!
THAT’S what I’ve been doing over the last couple of days that’s kept me away from being online much AT ALL – setting up my new machine and keeping it all tidy! It’s always ‘scary’ when your tech goes wrong and you NEED it to be able to work; it means you NEED it to be able to earn a living, and you need to be able to earn a living to be able to LIVE.
Our BODIES are our technology!
Our health and bodies are our Operating Systems – we get infected with the odd cold and flu virus now and again, that takes a little while to sort out and get rid of, but we’re usually back up and running again pretty quickly.
We can pick up injuries that range from a not serious sprained ankle to a life-threatening broken neck and the state of our OS will determine how quickly we are able to recover from them – if at all, at the very serious end of that spectrum.
Our brains are our hard drives – we download all sorts of junk onto them in the form of doubt, bitterness, resentment, limiting beliefs, buying into other people’s negative assessments of us and their opinions. ALL of this can very quickly corrupt anything positive on that hard drive and negatively affect our overall performance and choices.
We install all sorts of other junk too – fast food, too much sugar, too much alcohol, too much fat, TOO MUCH of everything that’s not good for us in general.
This all serves to slow down our high tech’ bodies; they just cannot perform well and process all of that at the same time, eventually we find ourselves faced with a major crash and, sometimes, blue screens of ‘death’.
We can’t just nip off to ‘Body World’, choose a new body off the shelf and start again all clean and shiny and in perfect working order and shape – can you IMAGINE!
BUT we can perform a complete re-install of our operating system, reformat our hard drives and choose only to install what we need and that which is GOOD for us.
By making the decision to change things for the better, you’ve re-installed your operating system.
When you work out your reason WHY, put together some affirmations, source visualisation images, and have a proper nutrition plan in place, you’ve reformatted your hard drive.
Now all you need to do is decide to only install things that are good for you, and keep your files in order with some daily housekeeping <— aka training!
Good nutrition and exercise, plus positive affirmations and daily gratitude, is your antivirus software and personal firewall that will protect you from, and keep out, all that’s bad so YOU can enjoy running at peak performance and stay looking shiny and new.
You are an AMAZING piece of technology, don’t ruin yourself by installing rubbish and junk!
