Blogs are a pain. After a week or so I start to feel this pressure that I need to write something here. The last few days I’ve been trying to come up with something profound to say. Therein lies the problem…”trying”. Anytime I start “trying” I am in big trouble because it means my thinking brain is taking over. Thinking Brain and I don’t always get along. Mostly because once Thinking Brain starts it won’t shut up. That is where I’ve been lately. Thinking way too much and not listening to my heart, intuition, or whatever you want to call it. My mind gets into this neverending loop as it searches desperately to figure things out or control a situation or think a million different what-if scenarios (none of which will actually ever happen!). All the while life is passing by and I don’t even notice. So I am attempting to turn the mind chatter off and get back to a place of peace, calm, and the flowingness that happens when you just allow life to unfold in its perfectly natural and beautiful way. There are 3 ways I find that help me do this. 1. Stop thinking about me me me and do something helpful for someone else. 2. meditaion, over and over until the mind finally admits defeat. 3. Channel the energy into a new creation. So I’ll be focusing on those things and maybe next time I’ll have something more profound to type here.
