Tales of a Double Virgo
Episode #38
the thought fist
i was walking the other day
<imagine that>
with a thought fist
clenching my brain.
it wasn’t until i released the thought
that i realized the tight fist
it had formed.
the thought
had wrapped itself around my entire me
pinching off everything
but itself.
wtf.
when i released it
<totally by accident>
omg
the birds
the colors
that dog barking a few blocks over
the scent!
when i released the grip of the thought fist
awareness flooded me.
i realized i was walking
it was a beautiful day
an amazing day
and
i was missing all of it
because of the thought fist.
if this one thought
had SUCH an impact on my BEingness
imagine how we walk around
most of the time!
if we could really drop the thoughts
or at least not allow them to form a fist
i wonder if we would notice
the truth
about all that is.
maybe this thought thing is a fucking trap?
man
did we ever fall for it
and IN to it.
keeping our minds occupied
distracted
over stimulated.
throw in some fear
and bam!
we cut off practically all of our awarenesses
not just of our surroundings
but of ourselves.
those times
that we may be totally consumed
with a fear sprinkled thought fist
and
we forget to eat. drink water.
heck- we even forget to breathe!
what’s a person to do???!!!
for one
stop consuming a constant diet of bullshit
fear popsicles
and
out-of-this-nowness
bouncing from past to future
acrobatics.
pay attention to your body
it knows some shit.
start playing with and recognizing its signals.
think about something that is true—
see how your body feels and reacts.
think about something that is a lie—
see how your body feels and reacts.
your body figures it out WAY before your mind does.
pay attention to any thought fists
that may be
cutting off circulation to your awareness.
*awareness is a game changer*
the part of you
that is really you
wants the very best for you.
self sabotage
is not a high road tactic.
that shit vibrates lower than low.
if you are ready to start seeing the world in a whole new light
be willing to chill the fuck out.
practice flexing your thought fingers
allowing them to be more like seaweed
going with the flow.
we have spent enough time in the clenched
tensed
contracted
position.
our chill the f out muscles
have atrophied.
give yourself
and
your body
some delicious attention.
check IN to YOU.
unclench any fists
and
replace them with hugs <3
xoxo

Love the fist analogy (and fingers/seaweed)!
