What if your overthinking mind was never the problem?
What if your racing thoughts were never the issue?
But the stories that we tell ourselves if we tend to overthink or even if we have so many racing thoughts and maybe you're someone who learned to manage them by meditation,
Breathwork or somatic practice where you learn to observe your thoughts which is a beautiful skill.
But I just had this thought that what if the racing thoughts are not the problem but they're just a symptom?
There is symptom of our brain trying to escape from an uncomfortable feeling,
From an uncomfortable reality or situation that we should be facing with our whole bodies and instead our mind is trying to escape from it through overthinking.
Through racing thoughts and it's creating these loops because it tries to protect us thinking that maybe we cannot survive feeling the grief or the pain the anger the frustration the sadness the unworthiness or whatever our brains are trying to save us from I'm a big fan of tuning into ourselves and learning to listen to our internal guidance system.
And I also know how hard it can be when our mind or the voices inside of our minds are screaming so terribly loud that it's sometimes so hard,
So difficult to actually relax and really being able to hear what our intuition is telling us or our gut.
And I also like to believe that it's actually really simple to get out of this loop.
Of course,
I cannot speak for everyone,
But the many people I've worked with and also with myself,
I've realized that the ability to to slow down in micro moments,
To teach our bodies to slow down and feel a little bit more of the uncomfortable feelings.
During our day that can help a lot while also stimulating our sensory I don't know the English word right now but what I'm trying to say is stimulating our bodies by touching or squeezing our arms or legs or even having someone hold us or maybe having a weighted blanket and we can hide under it and snuggle into it so that we learn to feel our body more instead of staying inside of our heads.
And it's funny because the other day a friend of mine she said at work she sometimes feels like She's cutting off her body and she's just staying in her mind,
Doing all of these amazing and crazy things,
But also feeling really disconnected from herself.
And then she notices these racing thoughts.
And what helps her is having someone by her side who slows her down.
So the slowing down or this becoming present in our bodies through touch or pressure,
Applying pressure,
We can do this for ourselves 100%.
But I also know how relaxing and transformative it is if we have someone by our side who does it with or for us.
So that we don't have to self-regulate,
That we don't have to do it all on our own.
And in Western society,
In Western culture,
We're learning to do so many things just for ourselves.
And I believe there's a lot of power in it,
But just imagine how much power there is in surrendering and having someone right next to you who's helping you move slower,
Move softer,
Feeling your feeling whatever your mind has been trying to run from.
This is a big part of my work and I'm happy that I get to share it here.
On this platform,
But also in the many other ways where I work with companies and entrepreneurs in groups or in single sessions.
And I'm so happy that you are here to learn and discover yourself through all the different possible ways.
Thank you.
