Stuck in our own heads

Often in life without realising it we get stuck inside our own heads.

We get caught in a web of over-thinking.

We analyse everything and we allow our ‘chimp’ limbic brain to run riot and build a wall of excuses to hide behind.

We spend more energy on convincing ourselves not to do something than doing anything, it then becomes a habit.

Step away from it all, stop thinking, stop trying to make big decisions. Life is a series of regular small steps done as best we can.

Relax and let our life out of our heads into the world and see where it takes us.

Thinking is useful, over-thinking isn’t and letting life be is often the answer to getting unstuck.

The paths of life

There are many paths in life to choose from all of which we decide.

Once we go down a particular path there is always a thought that the other path might have been better.

Who knows? It might also have been worse, something we rarely consider.

Whatever path we choose, we decide where it goes and what it leads to.

Often though we expect the path to tell us, it won’t, it is us that decides our destination.

The problem is we tangle the path with ‘weeds’ of fear, over-thinking and complication. Blaming the path we choose not taking responsibility ourselves.

Clear your path, it’s your choice.

Go to whatever destination you want as there is a path to everywhere you just have to make the path clear.
