Today I want to talk about what happens when nothing happens.
I canât tell you not to think about your anxieties, expectations⌠about love and sadness. Because as soon as I ask that youâll start thinking about everything. Youâll think about yesterday, tomorrow, youâll remember many different things coming from your childhood, youâll think about everything you want to bring into your life, for your future. If I ask you not to think about anything, the default network that exists in your mind will take control and send you many different thoughts. Itâs not only one thought. The default network will feed you with as many thoughts as you can engage at once.
5 - THE DEFAULT MODE NETWORK TAKES ADVANTAGE OF FREE TIME
Iâll repeat because this is important. 5 - THE DEFAULT MODE NETWORK TAKES ADVANTAGE OF FREE TIME. When youâre walking on the streets, when youâre cooking in your kitchen, when thereâs a moment that youâre not doing absolutely anything, and you just donât want to think about anything, your mind is going to be connected to the default mode network. And this DEFAULT MODE NETWORK takes you and your mind to a place other than here and now. Your brain is trying to make that free time USEFUL for you, because youâre not engaged in any particular activity. So it takes you to the PAST or to the FUTURE, but never to the most important time, the PRESENT.
Some studies show that meditation can help make this DEFAULT MODE NETWORK quieter. More silent. But our brain, our mind is something extraordinary, itâs a holy organ that we barely know. We know just a little bit of this organ that many try to understand and even try to copy. We try to copy that as a computer⌠We try to copy our mind in technology. We even add a âdefault modeâ to the electronics. Our phones come in a default mode, and then we adjust the settings⌠the wallpapers accordingly to what we want, accordingly to what we like. Thatâs what we have to do with our mind! Change the settings!
6 - YOU CAN DECIDE WHICH FEELING YOU ENGAGE WITH
Sometimes we canât even distinguish what are sensations, what are emotions. We donât notice the neural connections, we donât know the various levels of our consciousness. We have different internal sensations: well being, happiness, sadness, the whole world of emotions. Wanting something, not wanting something. So when you are finally able to recognize what youâre feeling, what sensation youâre having, please, feel that youâre lucky and think of what youâre going to do about it in the present moment.
If you evaluate your feelings mindfully and objectively, you can then decide which ones youâre going to let get traction. You can then decide which feeling youâre going to engage with. When you feel something, always view that with discernment, do you know why? Because feelings canât be trusted as accurate.
I want you to always remember that:
1 - FEELINGS ARENâT RELIABLE GUIDES TO REALITY
No, feelings cannot guide your reality. You cannot let what your feelings are telling you SHAPE how you see the situation, the past events and the present world. Try to understand which feelings it makes sense for you to engage with and which feelings it doesnât make sense.
Well, you can ask me about anger for example. Letâs say youâre driving and someone commits some transgression. Of course youâre going to feel the anger. And you can, you have to allow it to come. Feel it. Feel that anger in your body. However, that is the moment where you cannot let that anger take control of your body and make you do things like⌠you start screaming at the person or even start chasing them down the road to keep screaming and showing the middle finger.
The same with anxiety. The same with sadness. It doesnât matter what the situation is. Feel it. Feel like you want to send that text message for your crush now at 1am. Feel it but look at that feeling with discernment. Feelings cannot be trusted. Sometimes they are right. You have to follow them. Weâre humans, and feelings help us live in this world, but itâs not always that you can trust them and let them control you.
