Relax Into Yourself

“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.”

— Chinese Proverb 

We live in tense, fast paced societies. 

So fast that some people & organizations appear as if they are on a train going full speed – with an unbreakable mountain ahead that they will inevitably crash into. 

Society persuades its citizens to hop on this train, and most people do, but it’s not going anywhere. 

What is the antidote? Slowing down. Not getting on that train. Relaxing. 

But even if you get further than most and are able to relax in these restless societies – ignorant fools will inevitably go out of their way to try and bother you. Try to disturb your inner peace – since they have no peace within themselves. 

Observe those fools like they are demons sent from hell – and treat them as such. Just as Jesus did, and live your life. 

Stand up for your inner peace and don’t conform to being a miserable, ignorant fool.

Sticky & Flowing Mind

Are you ever walking in a public space and you pass by a person and they get in your head? 

It happens to me sometimes. 

I’m focused on living my life, going somewhere, and then a person passes me and then they get in my mind and I can’t seem to push them out. 

I don’t usually have this problem, and it happens less, but it does happen sometimes, and I call this a sticky mind. 

When I’m flowing, I’m focused, leading my life, centered within myself & accomplishing things. 

When I’m sticky minded I’m distracted by people outside of myself – or noises, or anything that is not my goals and dreams… 

If it happens to me, it must happen to others. Does this ever happen to you? 

Anyway, something I remind myself of is that “these thoughts will pass,” and I will be centered again soon and focused. 

I don’t need to fight these thoughts out of my mind – although sometimes I try doing that. 

I need to just relax my mind & not take the distracting thoughts of strangers so seriously. It will pass. I will have a stronger mind. I am an empowered individual.
