• Mind Field

  Over the last few weeks I have come to a decision…I really don’t like stress -_-

  A number of factors have been messing with my usually un-focused and dreamy mind and the result has been stress. Which came with lack of sleep, irritability, frustration, loss of appetite, upset stomach and even feelings of depression.

  I am fortunate enough to have been spared a life of stress for almost all of it thus far (and I hope that continues) but i’ve also been presented with many useful tools to manage stress such as meditation and all sorts of new age self help and personal development systems and techniques. But despite these many tools and options in my armoury…I still have been unable to free my mind from its obsessions enough to give myself peace.

  Because the fact is once we are in the state of stress, pain or whatever it is, the last thing we want is to do something other than just suffer. And this is the big problem we so often overlook, when we are in pain (emotional or physical) there is a part of us, that wants it. It’s not weird or somekind of fetish it’s just the way our minds function, we like to have consistency and if the character we are playing ‘should’ be feeling one thing, to go and seek out the exact opposite is like agreeing that our perception is not real, which scares us so we don’t act.

  So if you are suffering something (particularly stress or something mental, but physical too) then you must gain some perspective and identify all the emotions both for and against how you feel, then if you can agree that you truly want to free yourself, Take Action. Do something that you know will help and choose to do it rather than just running on default…then you’ll probably have to go through the whole process again, and again.

  Our minds are like freight trains they have immense power and only the one little guy to control them but despite the chaos caused by a freight train runaway, if you get that guy back in control it all stops at the push of a button.

  Okay now some pictures of bunnies!

  A good reason not to be stressed
  

  

  A walk in the woods. It’s always so much more fun to walk with someone rather than alone even if you are walking in silence.

  Storm Clouds always clear.
