"Life is a repeated cycle of getting lost and then finding yourself again. Sometimes you do it to yourself on purpose, consciously or unconsciously. Every time you get lost it is so that you can learn something or experience something from a different perspective."
-Jay Woodman.
I went from spilling drinks because I was shaking so much out of anxiety, to generating my own robust happiness to the point I was almost neglected access to a bar because I was too high on life (with zero consumables involved). How did I get there?
Before I knew I could choose my own feelings and how they affected the substances in my body (Oxytocin, dopamine etc.), life was an emotional storm with all sorts of debris like foggy subconscious action, tsunamis of overwhelmingness and wildfires of worry. I had severe anxiety for 2 whole years, and did not know how to align the workings of my body with the life I wanted to have and emotions I wanted to feel.
I was in constant opposition and got severe symptoms.
That changed when I spoke to a life coach, and he told me anxiety is decreased when you are aware why you get it and every trigger. I started to build consciousness around how I responded to things and how it wired my neurotransmitters over time to become who I wanted to be. I was learning to be human by choosing my thoughts actively, and by accepting the fragileness that comes from this spiral of learning. I am learning through that spiral that the best way to relate in a world where everything is in constant opposition, is to lead each subconscious into the conscious and hold it there by making it part of your identity or belief for long enough so it becomes who you are. Clarity or illumination was the word that transformed my foggy storm into near constant climax. However, through growth, there will always occur new nuts to crack.
We get constant pressure and fear from outside and inside, and the only true way to be blissful is to lead each bubble to the surface in the most efficient manner. Or join the yin and yang's with some sort of glue as a way to make sense of each particular thing. It's a dance of eagles and snakes.
I discovered through traveling that the world is full of tools or concepts of ways of life, to master the balance of what we literally are made of and how that affects the world around us. My belief is that we can balance the inner and outer environment with lasting impact, through these aware story transformations.
Let's gather the biggest toolkit by traveling the world in search for all these concepts!
