Change Your Filters

By Master Instructor David Alvas, Director



We have been very busy here in our studio. In all of the busyness, we forgot to change the A/C filters one month. We noticed that it was getting warmer in the studio by the day, until we finally noticed a month too late that the filters had been neglected. When we removed the old filters, they were TOTALLY clogged up and not functioning as intended at all. The filter was so bad that when we dropped the temperature of the A/C to 70 degrees, the room never cooled below 79 degrees. When I went to the store to get new filters, I decided to use a premium filter that would last three months, but still change it once a month. The results were amazing. The room cooled down as it was supposed to within an hour of the temperature being set.

As human beings, we have filters, too. But we can go years, even decades without changing our filters. Our filters are things like our perception of ourselves, others; even the food we eat. Imagine what kind of effects it can have on our mind, body, and spirit if we do not keep our filters clean of negative energy and impurities. We can’t function efficiently and be as productive.

How do we ‘change our filters’? The next time you feel like gossiping, say something nice instead. The next time you feel like you are going to blow up, walk away and breathe. When you feel like you are making an impulse decision, step back and take some time.

Most importantly, treat others with love and respect and realize that everyone, EVERYONE has something to teach.

Have a squeaky clean week!

All the best,

David Alvas
