I am having some inner battle or maybe even few of them since couple weeks already. It keeps me busy and doesn't allow to get some university related tasks done nor enjoy time of not doing them. Every thought seems to be locked away from me. And I am not able to find the right key to unchain it. So, they keep banging against their cages and making unbearable noise in my head. It makes me deaf from inside and outside leaving me paralysed and wishing only one - to be a fish in the sea.
Yesterday during or in between one of the battles I found an answer that I am going to practice deliberately. I am going to stop this hard thinking and will switch to the soft thinking (terms taken from chapter of G.Claxton book 'Wise Up: The Challenge of Lifelong Learning'.) .
I am going to follow Rudyard Kipling suggestion : ' When your Daemon is in charge, do not try to think consciously. Drift; wait; obey.'
I am giving my serried monsters freedom to dive in the waters of mind and swim freely like a fish :)
Please, share your experiences and strategies how you deal with your inner voices and feeling of being overloaded.
