It’s Not Mindfulness I Practice, But MindLESSness
I’ve realized I’ve had it wrong a ll along!
Over the past few years, words have become my power. The realization that what I speak—both internally and externally—can shape my reality has been transformative. Living more consciously has propelled me into a state of manifestation at a rapid pace. Becoming more aware of my thoughts and words to myself has become paramount if I want to live a life filled with joy, peace, happiness, and abundant in all its meanings.
For over a decade, I’ve owned a successful art studio, where I’ve offered a diverse and eclectic range of creative programs, classes, and workshops to serve my community. My aim has always been to help people live from the heart—showing individuals of all ages and backgrounds how to trust what their heart is telling them instead of believing everything their minds dictate.
Being a ‘h’art therapist’ has taught me the value of living from a space of creativity— tapping into a way of being rather than constantly doing. It’s about flowing with guided, loving action instead of forcing things out of fear. As humans, keeping those scales balanced can be challenging. (And I know we’ve all faced many such moments over the years.) Throughout it all, creative processes have always been a
significant support for my mental health and well-being.
One day, as I was crocheting yet another blanket—one of thousands I’ve made over the years—I became aware of some inner chatter.
My mind was asking: Why do I always make blankets and simple things? Why don’t I create more complex items? Is it because I’m not good enough? It started telling me I should be progressing and doing other, more advanced things by now.
As I became aware of this voice in my head —trying to disturb my peace and challenge my worth—I had an epiphany:
If I believed that I was these thoughts, then who was witnessing them?
It had to be my true self—the one that loves me unconditionally, the one that’s got my back and genuinely wants me to succeed. The part rooted in love, not fear. Because fear and doubt cannot reside in that space.
So here’s what I realized:
I choose to crochet the simple things and all the other creative processes i do because I LOVE the mindless nature of it all —not the mindful. Sitting peacefully, doing an activity that allows me to stop thinking is incredibly beautiful. In that space, I achieve greater awareness of myself. I can remain surrendered in a state of flow. Staying in that space is where the magic happens
The universe can understand what you truly desire and can start conspiring to bring it ALL to you.!!!!
What about you?
What do you do to quieten your internal chatter? Is there something that helps you recognize that those endless thoughts aren’t actually you?
