I have just finished my dinner and dessert and am drinking my tea. This ultra classic heavy metal anthem of habit is shredding itself through my mental radio:
🎵🤘GO AND GET ANOTHER DESSEEEEERT!
I WANT MORE GIMME GIMME SOME MORE!
GO AND GET ANOTHER DESSEEEEERT!
BROWNIE!
CANDY!
ICE CREAM!
COOKIE!
GO AND GET ANOTHER DESSEEEERT!
RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOW! 🎵🤘
Much like any good metal song, this one has my body rocking, my head banging, and my insides squirming a little. 😂
With all of this noise and sensation, I wonder…
What will happen if I let this play itself out?
It seems to me that taking a pass on more dessert and simply appreciating my brain’s attempts at trying to distract me from feeling is in order.
Can I be in a body that is rushing with sensation and internally screaming?
When I check, it looks like that’s what’s already happening.
Thanks, Dear Brain, for the well meaning, but misguided diversion, but I can feel some discomfort. ❤️
I’m quite curious to see how long this mental music plays tonight! Although, as I write this, and as I REALLY listen and lean into sensation, the song is already starting to fade out…
