My Mosaic

I had a dream last night that I made an attempt and it didn’t end well. Can’t stop thinking about it today. Uneasy feeling all day. 😩

I hear how uneasy this can make you feel @Bow .

For now, would it be possible to remind yourself that these are thoughts? You are not judged by your thoughts.

Sometimes, we end up thinking about the very thing we do not want to think about. And the more we push that thought out, the more real it becomes.

Without making this sound trivial or a joke, I want to share one way I used to side-track these unhelpful thought patterns. Believe it or not, I pictured a Mr Whippy ice cream van. I imagined the minute details of the van, the music blaring out of it, the colours of the ice cream and the faded pink of the van. Every time the thought resurfaced, I’d park my ice cream van in the thought.

Some people call it a distraction… whatever the word, it worked. The thought then turned to something I’d grimace about.

As I said, please don’t feel I am making this a joke - it clearly is not. It’s just one way I managed to re-direct these thoughts.

I know you are an amazingly creative person @Bow - your poems and drawings may be able to sit pleasantly in some of those negative thoughts you are having.

Sitting with you,

Thanks @tyme I appreciate you sharing how to work through these things, but I’m not real sure what to do. Feel pulled towards it. Doesn’t feel good. Sad

For tonight, I hope you’ll be able to find some space to do something you love and enjoy @Bow .

Do you play a musical instrument?

No I don’t @tyme

I’d like to just go to bed… feels safest. but it’s a bit too early.

I’m not very musical myself @Bow LOL.

Anything interesting on telly you’d like to watch? No dramas if it’s not your thing. I’m just throwing ideas out.

We have Lego masters on the telly @tyme but not really watching it…. Too much anxious energy to sit still and focus I think

That sounds so good @Bow !

I LOVE Lego, but believe it or not, I’ve never watched Lego masters - heard so much about it though!

Currently, I’m working on programming a Lego EV3 robot. It’s pretty cool because it can sense touch, recognise colour, pick things up…. now I just have to get it right!

Trying to law it travel through a city map, pick up some “cargo” and take it to a destination. I’ve got a far way to go!

Anyway, even if you’re not concentrating on what you’re watching, at least it can probably help you pass some time.

Enjoy!

I love Lego too @tyme so does my daughter. Couple of years ago she was given a huge tub of it from a friend…. So many sets.

I’ve got some of the botanical series and have seen that they have just bought out some new ones.

i took a shower and my meds. Hopefully they will help settle me a bit.

Sometimes wish people would ask more questions…. 😩
