Mind Drama

Mind Drama

Using our minds for math is simple.

2 + 2= 4. There is nothing dramatic about that equation. 

But when we ask questions such as whether we are good enough or how we will reach our goals, we look for simple answers on the other side of these equations, and we won’t find them.  

Drama is a word that we use to describe an exciting, emotional, or unexpected event or set of circumstances. Drama in and of itself is neutral (neither good nor bad) and something we all experience sometimes. 

Mind drama (i.e., confusion, doubt, worry, and overwhelm) does not serve a purpose. Mind drama creates limitations instead of possibilities and allows us to stay stuck. Although the drama may feel necessary, these emotions do not allow traction, growth, or movement. 

It may be easy to fall into this familiar pattern - to be overactive, exaggerate the details, and allow our minds to come up with an endless string of why we can’t or won’t realize our dreams. Engaging in this drama is indulgent and, often, a way to procrastinate addressing the real issues before us. 

I encourage you to bypass the drama and courageously face your fears head-on. Know that you are loved unconditionally, and it is ok to desire the best in life as long as you can handle not getting it. Know that life is happening as it should. Open your heart and accept life. Have your own back, be and do the best you can and you will find yourself stepping into your dreams.
