When the impressions seem to overwhelm you…
let them roll and be thy rock in the surf.
As soon as we leave our "comfort zones", do things that are so completely outside our mind, then it happens that the mind goes completely crazy and tells you all sorts of things. He will try everything to undo this step you have taken. To make you mad.
But your heart knows what's right for you.
Nevertheless, it shakes you every now and then, and that's completely ok.
Do not fall into blind actionism or panic now.
Sit down breathe.
Let the impressions pass you by, knowing that you don't have to do anything with it.
You don't go out in a storm and start cutting down trees.
The impressions may first sit down and sort
As shitty as it feels… let everything come up that wants to come up with the knowledge it may be there, and it goes again, without you having to do anything with it.
Come with your attention into the here and now… not what if, would have, could, must…. but, what is right now, what are you seeing right now, where are you right now in the here and now and now and now? What wants to be seen by you right now, what needs your attention right now?
If your mind draws you into the past or your thoughts are constantly revolving around events that have not yet happened, then you are missing the moment. This is where life happens.
Start feeding your mind with things that nourish it, that it can engage with meaningfully, that challenge it.
In the long run, the storm around your thoughts clears and the mind gradually calms down. The next steps come from your heart… every moment new.
I know it's hard to outwit your mind, but I also know you can. And your heart knows that too.
