Staring at clouds got me in trouble

I’ve spent the last 25 minutes staring out of my window at passing clouds.

I was reminded of school and being told off by a teacher for doing this, and being too ‘absent-minded.‘

I developed a bit of shame around letting my mind drift since then.

But over the years, I’ve realised that that teacher could shove it where the sun don’t.

These days, I factor in necessary and NON-negotiable mind-drifting moments.

Not quite meditation, just opening my senses, and letting whatever shows up, show up.

I did this for over an hour, camping in the forest yesterday.

I watched the sun move across the sky through the trees as the flies buzzed.

I don’t always come out of these sessions with some new genius insight.

But I always find myself a little extra creative and optimistic in the hours to follow.

Because what happens in those moments of ‘nothing‘ is actually rather significant.

You allow your brain to stop grabbing, seizing, stimulating, and churning.

Not enough of us do this in a always-busy-and-ON-world.

I see it as leaving the window open a crack to release built-up carbon dioxide.

It was seeing the importance of this that led me to develop my guided course: Untethered Mind.

What the heck is that, Alex?

It shows you exactly how I rewired my mind to experience 90% less stress by clinging less.

It’s this clinging that produces 90% of stress. Wishing things were different. Cycling on the same tired thoughts. Judging one’s friends.

This course shows you how I reduced most of my stress permanently by reconsidering how thoughts function. This is what makes this course different to the other mindset courses, which focus on techniques.

This is different. This is about understanding.

Most of us understand our thoughts in a way that rob us of life and joy.
