Ever find yourself caught in an endless stream of thoughts, worries, or stress? đ§
Itâs like they keep circling, pulling you in, and before you know it, youâre swept away in the current. But what if you didnât have to grab onto every thought that comes your way?
Hereâs a simple visualization: Imagine your thoughts are like sticks floating down a river. đ
When youâre standing by the riverbank, you see these sticks pass by. Some might be small, some big, some tangled in emotions, but hereâs the keyâyou donât have to pick them up. You donât have to hold onto them or follow them downstream. You can simply watch them float by.
The point? Your thoughts arenât you. They come and go, and you have the power to choose whether or not to engage with them.
Try this today:
- The next time youâre feeling overwhelmed by thoughts, pause for a moment.
- Picture them as sticks in the riverâfloating, drifting away.
- Notice them without judgment, and just let them pass by. You donât need to grab onto them. đż
đ Whatâs one thought thatâs been floating around in your mind lately that youâre ready to let drift away? Share it below, and letâs support each other in letting go of what no longer serves us. đŹđ
Remember, you donât have to be swept away by every thought. Stand on the riverbank, and let the sticks float on by.
