Fog-brain season is here (tra la la)
-
There's this stretch of the year where things get a bit weird.
It's happening right now for many, actually.
It's usually grey. The sun drops before 4 pm.
You forget what summer felt like.
It's not quite the holidays, but there's enough time left to force you into a sense of guilt that you aren't doing enough.
Things can feel a bit meh.
You're not full-blown depressed. A little bored, maybe.
Suspended like a bug in cold honey.
I still have pangs of this. I approached the laptop today with a sigh.
But things aren't as bad as they used to be.
(And now I'm in flow, see? :) )
Every year around this time, I'd drift into the same pattern.
My mental chatter would ramp up a few notches, and things would feel heavier.
I'd often repeat the same frustrations, like how much of a tedious cycle things were becoming.
Eventually, I realised it wasn't because I was a negative dude.
It was mainly about how much attention I was giving my internal chatter.
Eventually, I reached a point where floating on all that thinking just didn't seem all that necessary.
I had a shift when I finally saw how thought actually worked.
I'd pick myself up quicker.
I'd look forward to the end of the year.
This is why I created Untethered Mind.
This course is foundational because it shifts how you relate to yourself and the world at the core level of thought.
We don't need clever tactics. Just a new way of understanding. The course guides you through all the insights you need to see what I now see.
Peace,
Alex
