I woke up today with clouded thoughts. The mental knot is sometimes tied really tight. The issue is the frequency in which it dwells; the continuous same frequency your brain functions will also function along those traumas. The possible solution that I found that works for me will consist of 2 stages.
1. The ability to look inside and see and literally talk to that knot and tell it it is okay to be there, this will ease the knot at least a little because you accept what is going on Vs. Trying to constantly fight it and tie it tighter.
2. Change the frequency. Learn there are 2 ways of reaction and experiencing the reactions. 1 is mental and will allow you to look at the knot from afar, what you somewhat did above here, this will give you an more objective view of how you feel. And 2: emotionally, this comes from the heart and in these situations it is usually the first thing you automatically do. It hurts, it weighs you down, it feels pressured etc all these things you experience till eventually it creates that fear and anxiety the longer it’s there because you don’t want to feel this way and forcefully try to change it emotionally which will result in a cycle that will tie it deeper and deeper and it’s very difficult to escape that part, but in a way for most a path of familiarity, and change feels often more terrifying. So once you traveled inwards and recognized what you experienced and accept it you feel that knot loosen a slight but, now this is a moment of fear, because now what? Now you do something you wanted to do but weren’t able because how you felt before, it will feel counterintuitive because your heart is telling you to stick in the familiarity of the situation but you have to allow the objectiveness of the brain to take over and go and do something that requires focus, attention and falls in line with what you love and makes you you. Draw, write, workout, walk, jog, sing whatever it is; do it until you have removed yourself so far away from how you felt emotionally that you can comeback to yourself and let your heart take over an feel that there is an ease now, and no longer a fear.
In all my years of anxiety and what not, this tool has become my greatest ally. I do it before tv, I do it when I wake up and the world looks bleak, sometimes I do it to train this function, and it took me years to master. Does it always work? No, does it always help? Well, being able to have the decision to not respond emotionally or just understand that what you feel isn’t necessarily what is going on makes a difference, even on the smallest level.
My life has changed so much in the last 3 years, for the better, that I hope that this essential part will serve you in a way it has served me.
