RANT # II: “MY SCATTERED MONKEY MIND“

Today I got a note from a friend who was saying how she felt scattered, and that her ‘monkey mind’ was all over the place.

In alignment with the above mindset, I said this to her:
“I suggest that you stop criticizing the parts of you that you don’t like or that people say are bad! Love your monkey mind!

Give it bananas! Bribe it to be quiet when you need quiet! it just wants you to love it. It’s smart, and will support you if you can give it a way to do so.

“The main thing to keep in mind is your value and your direction–what do you want people to remember you by; what unique-to-you thing can you leave as a legacy, and live it in your life?”

And here’s another thought: what if a scattered mind isn’t a ‘bad’ thing?What if your mind goes that way because you’re like an aggregator of thoughts, and they come into you and go out of you in just the right places–kind of like an oracle? Where is the strength in scattered thoughts that you could take empowerment from?

We’re so hard on ourselves. We have these nail-encrusted inner whips with which we torture ourselves. Sometimes we make ourselves feel guilty just for being alive!

Quit it! Invite yourself to be your own special inner friend–the one you dream about finding on the outside. Have great conversations and bitching sessions and laugh fests and Dream times; have inner high tea and glamorous dinners and exotic breakfasts. Discover inner hideaways and imaginings that make you feel rich and alive. Good grief, how long are we here for? 100 plus or minus years? It’s so short–why beat yourself up for 90% of it?

And of course, remember to tap – It works!

p.s. I love you, even if you don’t!
