If this is your first time with me, welcome.
The first post I ever wrote on Visions of a Wanderer is dated June 29, 2015 and it is a quote by H.G Wells that says, “There are truths you have to grow into.”
I have learned so much in the last seven years but I am still growing into so many of the things that I have “learned”.
Today I was reflecting on the truth that our bodies are our true North. They know where to go and are naturally suited to intuitively figure out what the next step is.
The problem that I deal with is I allow my beingness to be led by my mind. I have found that my mind is a master problem solver and extremely good at crunching data to give me all of the possible outcomes it can quantify from said data. But it is not very good at being the leader when new situations and the unknown of life arise.
I was thinking about this from the perspective of automobile accidents and when there happens to be a variable of intoxication with one of the drivers. In most cases the driver who has alcohol in their system will live while the driver who is sober will perish due to the mind fight., flight, flee mentality that tightens and restricts us.
As I am an emotional authority in human design the tools I use to not get caught in the mind trap are to constantly repeat there is no truth in the now and to breathe so I do not let my mind be overcome by the emotional identification I am feeling in the moment.
Now this does not always work and I am more times tight than I am fluid but these are the truths that I am growing into.
