Imagine.
Imagine you are in an ocean.
Treading water.
The Pacific ocean.
Miles away from the coast.
Your head is above water.
And your legs are pumping.
Back and forth, back and forth.
As you find yourself in this state, you realize – you've been there a long time.
Treading water.
Pumping legs, back and forth. Back and forth.
When the weather above you changes, it affects your head above water.
The sun.
The rain.
The storms.
This feeling creates exhaustion.
This feeling creates an undesirable way of being that is not life-giving for you.
Maybe it was at some point in your life, or maybe not, but regardless – now, this way of being does not serve you.
This way of treading, keeping busy underneath the water, head exposed to the sun, is draining you.
It is getting in your way.
It steals your peace.
It robs your joy.
It affects all that you do and all that you are.
It disempowers you.
What if it did not need to be this way?
What if you were able to create a different way of being?
A way of being where you are empowered.
A way of being where you do not need to tread water.
Because you have found peace.
Imagine if instead of treading water miles away from the coast you are standing in a different type of a water.
A water that was 4 feet deep.
A water that was clear that you could see through.
A water where the temperatures and elements of weather were relatively predictable.
What would calmer waters allow you to do?
What would calmer waters mean for you?
What would calmer weather empower you to focus on?
How would this serve your future?
This is the overthinking brain.
The dominant side of you that does not need to be as such.
This can happen when we misinterpret the world.
To misinterpret the world is to inaccurately see what is happening.
May I remind you...
The brain processes and exists within the world of sight.
That sight, or what you see, affects how you feel.
You make meaning based off of what you see.
You describe what you see with language which affects how you feel and the meaning you create.
Humans use this label, a symptom, this overthinking brain, when humans are disempowered by language.
Language is a sound that comes out of your mouth.
You create all of it.
And as such, you have the power, to change it all.
If you want to avoid being disempowered by language, which gives power to the overthinking brain, then I invite you.
Slow down and examine the world you have learned to see.
Letter by letter.
Word by word.
Sentence by sentence.
And then, you will have disempowered the thinking brain.
And have taken back that power for who you are becoming.
