Slow Down + Audio
When your mind needs to slow the eff down.
Snap. CRAckle. P0p. The mind keeps popping off. With 20 curious georges running around my mind all the time I’m constantlyyy like—
Mind…be STILL… I’m just trynaaa chill. Be peaceful and allow the present to fill me up. Experience fully. Get in touch somatically. Body intelligence guide me. Attune internally. Raise frequency so I’m not seeking externally to fill in a void. Or avoiding what needs to be felt.
Yet, my mind keeps… Criticizing. Monopolizing. Interfering with third eye. Please. I’m tired. EYE see you. Mrs. optimize married to a dance that spirals to nowhere. Of a vortex that has no arrival. From ping ponging pros and cons for 5 different menu items that will ultimately result in a similar level of satisfaction… to repeatedly rephrasing a text to a new friend to hang and swapping diff emojis (sparkle? Heart? Too much)? to jumping between nervous system regulation tools when I’m spinning out… will meditation, shaking, or breath-work make me the MOST calm right now!?
Looping. Too many inputs. Freezing processing speed. Stuck in limbo. Sim awaiting instruction. Rainbow spinning wheel of DEATH. Buffering. Withdraw. Incognito suffering. What is the objective? Feels forever changing. One day this. One day that. All it takes is a flip in perspective. But in this mode, I feel so reactive. How can I be proactive if I don’t really know what to look for?
Snap. crACkLe pOP. Sounds the fallen branches and leaves I walk over. I turn my phone off. Going to nature… slowing down…helps me center. Thaw so then I may pause. Breathe, reduce the stimuli distracting my energy and my Chi. mute the noise. Let mother nature nurture me. Cradle me. Rock me. Sooth me. Recalibrate me. Chirp at me. Ocean waves at me. Slow me down. Body. Bodies of water. Gentle. Healing. Rhythmic. Remind me…
Nudge me—
There is nothing I need to do. Except be here in this present moment. Let go of the identity of a “need to be” or “seeking.”
Trust that slowing down will bring me exactly what is needed.
