When your brain gets mooshy perhaps due to inactivity, too much sugar, dairy, carbs, meat, the internet or other consumables? Perhaps out of boredom or just looking for something to worry about. I know, I know, lemme just stir-up a problem out of nothing. I will toss my brain and funky thinking read, hard rocks into the blender. Make it a Ninja Blender with industrial strength rpms in an effort to really smash the sh*t out of time-wasting, good for nothing thinking.
We share the same wavelength the way the world is wired these days and since the beginning of time no doubt but especially today. A commonality and vibration like the migration and mindset and innate navigational skills of birds and other creatures. A similar thread runs through all of us by virtue of our own assigned species.
We lead and follow each other at any given moment as our perspective is influenced, effected and sometimes infected by news and information on a personal local, state-wide, national and global level. From bizarre goings on in technology and politics plus a government that is losing its vision based on dark motives, to extreme weather and current trends to the way we talk to ourselves. It all works its way into our state of mind. The loco-motion of the times catches up with you and feels like it caves in on you until we reach critical mass. At that point a shift and shedding of negative thinking is required as soon as possible. It is Ok to leak through the eye sockets in fact, recommended to let go of the strain and stress of external stimuli that creates internal turmoil. It is a sad and chaotic place we find ourselves in for a minute but forget at first that we do not need to stay there.
It is not so easy to catch ourselves from falling into negative thinking. We go through growing pains at any age if we want to evolve. It includes hot tears and some sorrowful self-reckoning. The good news is those tears wash and clean the scuffed-up, banged-up and bruised nature of our world for now, as the fears, despair and darkness lurk around in an effort to disturb our peace and joy. It is crossroads, growing opportunity out of obnoxious unreasonable, irrational and illogical scenarios that play out in my head like a bad off-Broadway show. Thankfully, there are simple ways to balance out the imbalance. What we tell ourselves about ourselves plays such a big part of our world view. What I say, think or feel will determine the quality of the moment as it shakes out. One learns to yell, sweat, walk, talk, pray, love and snuff out the cameo appearances of self-doubt and inter strife. Onward I go like a maniacal Viking whose quest is to conquer unforgiving oppositions and banish the predatory ugly forces of nature and our lives.
We travel like sojourners hoping that the road ahead is smooth without peril or pain, hopeful that our footsteps lead us toward the next blessing whether we are on the giving or receiving end. To keep our thoughts in check within a frame of mind that lends itself to peace requires effort to "stay in my own lane" in my thinking and not caught-up in what was and what might be rather than to simply stay here and now within the realm of reality. It is on me by all means to stay the course, keep calm and hold-on to the goodness in place in real time. After the internal mental ruckus, turns-out Blessings prevail at the beginning and end of the day after all. Onward we go. 🕊
