Why Your Best Thoughts Come From The Showerđźšż

When was the last time you took time to process?..

You’re probably always looking to the next thing

If you’re like me, I am the worst meditator on the planet

I can’t “quiet” my mind, and if I do for long enough I just fall asleep lol.

But what if you can set your intentions to just sit down, open space and just process.

Process your last week

Process the thoughts that repeatedly popped up

Process the ways you loved yourself

Process the decisions that could’ve went different

Process the beliefs you carried

Process the times your super powers shined

Process how certain events made you feel..

I’ve been recently introduced to EMDR type therapy

EMDR standing for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

Youve probably heard of the process before, but it’s the process “Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick” over an extended period of time, whether it’s by a metronome in a quiet room, the oceans waves crashing, or a long walk..

The repeated noises become triggers for both sides of the brain.

The right side being the creative side,

and the left side of the brain being the analytical side.

And for the first time in a while, your brain begins to process things working together using both sides.

That is when you come up with new solutions,

New pathways to the end goal,

You repurpose trauma,

You overcome obstacles from this new angle.

It’s truly magical.

And so use this weekend, or just take time throughout the week,

Take some time,

Wether it’s a long walk, listening to white noise, sitting criss-cross apple sauce and tapping your knees, or seeing a therapist or EMDR Specialist.

Set your intentions to Just Process..
