Pay Attention to the Body, not the Mind

I read this piece of advice that rang true-

To pay close attention to the body it told one to do

Because the body does not know how to lie

If something feels abnormal, you need to find why

The article strongly recommended never to ignore

Physical symptoms that persist, because the body keeps score

*

On the other hand, the same article did advise

To pay very little attention to the mind, the mind tells lies

All the time, but we assume our thoughts are true

And believing in them completely is what we instinctively do..

*

I am certainly guilty of ignoring my body and trusting my mind

Not attending to my physical discomfort indefinitely I am inclined

But I want to act on every thought that comes to me

I need to reverse this order evidently..
