My mind has been overwhelmed with thoughts and concerns recently. I have not been able to sleep properly for a while. Last night lying in my bed pass midnight, I hoped for a button that could switch off my brain. I said to myself: that would have been awesome!
I started visualising the thoughts stuck on my brain convolutions and refusing to leave. Suddenly, a funny metaphor came to my mind: what if I could ‘flush my thoughts down‘ like a toilet would flush and get rid of all faeces?!
I visualised the thoughts turning and tumbling quickly like in a tornado before they disappeared down a hole. This gave me an instant relief and a clear mind for several minutes similar to a good meditation session. I really liked this mind trick, and will try it tonight or whenever needed as it did serve me well last night.
Please try it and let me know if it works for you, have a restful sleep everybody 🙂
