Getting relief from our biggest enemy: ourselves.

Our Brain is something amazing! At the same time, it's scary. Just buying positive thoughts we can improve our lives, including healing physical diseases. Who never heard of the power of our brain to fight cancer and other diseases. People with short timelines to end their lives, in the end, survive more than that just because they have internal power to fight the disease. In the other hand, there is a dark force in our brain that can deep us and get us sick. Bad thoughts and overloading it is something that can cause physical problems in our bodies. How should we manage that?

One of my worst problems is that my internal voices ask too much of me. It is easy to fall into these voices saying that "it was my fault" about something going wrong and how I am the one guilty of everything bad that happens in my life or around me. I started to notice this voice, most of the time it is automatic so I just follow it. It brings me more stress and in the end, I am worse than the most picky boss that I have ever had. I am still learning to detect this voice to stop it. The best way to fight this voice is to protect my inner self. Remember that bully who torments the quiet kid? It is something, using my conscience to detect this "bullying" and using it to protect that quiet kid that I need.

One of these days I was driving and I detected these thoughts, I just interfered and said "It isn't your fault, it is ok. The world won't end because that happened". Just saying that made me cry. It was a cry of relief. Sometimes we focus in compassion and forgiveness with other people, but we forget to do that with ourselves. At work, I have been doing Yoga once a week. It is during my lunchtime on Thursdays. I registered myself more because of the physical benefits since I have back problems due to a long time working on a chair. However, I started to notice that the instructor also focused on mental health.

In the beginning, I was just skipping this part, since my mind was so busy and I thought that it was just lost of time thinking about thanking our brain and our body. But now I am hearing more about it and doing what she says. My brain started to relax more and the bad voices that only give me stress also started to be far during this meditation period. It was very satisfying. So my experience with just changing our mindset and training our brain to realize when we feel some brain pollution of harmful thoughts is already something that helps a lot in our daily life.

Of course, sports and traveling are actions that indeed help us to turn off our daily worries. I am anxious for my next vacation and traveling is always good to forget about problems. But these problems just come back when you return so you are just avoiding the real problem. The real problem can be fixed only with our internal initiative to change our mindset and have more compassion and forgiveness with us.

Nosso cérebro é algo incrível! Ao mesmo tempo, é assustador. Só comprando pensamentos positivos podemos melhorar nossas vidas, inclusive curando doenças físicas. Quem nunca ouviu falar do poder do nosso cérebro para combater o câncer e outras doenças. Pessoas com prazos curtos para acabar com suas vidas, no final, sobrevivem mais do que isso só porque têm poder interno para lutar contra a doença. Por outro lado, há uma força obscura em nosso cérebro que pode nos aprofundar e nos deixar doentes. Pensamentos ruins e sobrecarregá-lo é algo que pode causar problemas físicos em nossos corpos. Como devemos lidar com isso?

Um dos meus piores problemas é que minhas vozes internas exigem muito de mim. É fácil cair nessas vozes dizendo que "foi minha culpa" sobre algo dar errado e como eu sou o culpado por tudo de ruim que acontece na minha vida ou ao meu redor. Comecei a notar essa voz, na maioria das vezes é automática, então eu apenas a sigo. Ela me traz mais estresse e, no final, sou pior do que o chefe mais exigente que já tive. Ainda estou aprendendo a detectar essa voz para pará-la. A melhor maneira de lutar contra essa voz é proteger meu eu interior. Lembra daquele valentão que atormenta o garoto quieto? É algo, usar minha consciência para detectar esse "bullying" e usá-lo para proteger aquele garoto quieto de que preciso.

Um dia desses eu estava dirigindo e detectei esses pensamentos, apenas interferi e disse "Não é sua culpa, está tudo bem. O mundo não vai acabar porque isso aconteceu". Só de dizer isso me fez chorar. Foi um grito de alívio. Às vezes, focamos na compaixão e no perdão com outras pessoas, mas esquecemos de fazer isso conosco. No trabalho, tenho feito Yoga uma vez por semana. É durante meu horário de almoço, às quintas-feiras. Eu me inscrevi mais por causa dos benefícios físicos, já que tenho problemas nas costas devido a muito tempo trabalhando em uma cadeira. No entanto, comecei a notar que a instrutora também se concentrou na saúde mental.

No começo, eu estava apenas pulando essa parte, já que minha mente estava muito ocupada e eu pensava que era apenas perda de tempo pensando em agradecer ao nosso cérebro e ao nosso corpo. Mas agora estou ouvindo mais sobre isso e fazendo o que ela diz. Meu cérebro começou a relaxar mais e as vozes ruins que só me davam estresse também começaram a ficar longe durante esse período de meditação. Foi muito satisfatório. Então, minha experiência em apenas mudar nossa mentalidade e treinar nosso cérebro para perceber quando sentimos alguma poluição cerebral de pensamentos prejudiciais já é algo que ajuda muito em nossa vida diária.

Claro, esportes e viagens são ações que realmente nos ajudam a desligar nossas preocupações diárias. Estou ancioso para minhas próximas férias e viajar é sempre bom para esquecer os problemas. Mas esses problemas simplesmente voltam quando você retorna, então você está apenas evitando o problema real. O problema real pode ser resolvido apenas com nossa iniciativa interna de mudar nossa mentalidade e ter mais compaixão e perdão conosco.

Seriously, nothing will happen if we decide to have some days off to care for our minds, we will always come back with the better version of ourselves. Back ache can be so painful, so it's best to care for it early enough

I'm glad to hear that helps! I avoid thoughts while I'm driving with hard rock music, no chance to think that way! lol It's good to be able to keep those bad thoughts at bay the healthy way like you're doing, as opposed to drugs like so many people get hooked on. Keep it up!

Drugs only solve it temporarily right? the real problem doesn't disappear! I won't lie that alcohol gives a fun temporary relief! but addiction is something that scares me the hell out!

Hanging around toxic people does a lot of damage to our mental health.

People's mindsets are different. In my case, I directly blame myself for any failure because I don't see any benefit in avoiding the truth. But honestly, accepting it says that I need to do better to overcome it, and because of my stubborn nature, I think such a harsh thought is my source of encouragement.

I think I am used to with it and it actually helps me most. It's like rising up from the burning ash.

This resonates deeply. Thank you for reminding me to treat myself with the same kindness I would show to loved one. Self-compassion is truly a powerful act of self-love.
