Couldn’t sleep. So I wrote down just something btc taught me while hodling & stacking over the years.
Helps me so it might help someone else 🤷♂️.
Most humans are not stuck in life but stuck in their head. And that strangely enough is the most comfortable prison a human being can build because the door is open yet you never leave. The lock is not made of iron but made of thoughts. If you cannot stay with your own mind for like 10 quiet seconds, how do you expect to trust it with 10 years of your future? Everything changes. Not tomorrow not someday but the very moment you stop arguing with your thoughts. Stop rehearsing pain. Stop living imaginary conversations with people who are not even present. And gently come back to life. Because the truth is this. Your anxiety is not your personality. Your overthinking is not intelligence. It is a habit. And habits my retarded friends can be unlearned. Stay with me. Not intellectually but attentively. Because in the next few minutes you may feel something unfamiliar. A quietness you have not touched in years. And once you taste that silence you will never again be satisfied with a noisy life. Read carefully, you are not tired because life is heavy. You are tired because the mind refuses to be still. Before your feet even touch the floor in the morning your attention has already traveled elsewhere. Into yesterday, into tomorrow, into arguments that never happened,into futures that do not yet exist. You carry several conversations in your head and not one of them is real. And then you wonder why the chest feels tight, why the body feels old or why energy disappears before the day even begins. Let me ask you something…When was the last time you were actually here? Not here as in breathing and blinking but here as in present. Here, where your eyes look at the world instead of your thoughts. Here, where your hands do one thing not ten. Here, where you drink water and actually taste it. Most people cannot do this & they think it is normal. They call living in the head intelligence. They call overthinking maturity. They believe worry improves responsibility. No. It only proves addiction. You are addicted to thinking because it gives you the illusion of control. If I analyze it enough, I can prevent pain. If I imagine every worstcase scenario, I will be prepared. If I replay the past, I can fix it. But look honestly in the mirror. Has it worked? You do not need more thoughts. You need more reality. The mind is a marvelous tool but most people have made it their home. A tool is something you pick up when needed and put down when finished. But you never put it down. You take it to bed. You take it into conversations. You take it into prayer, into love, into silence. And then you ask, why do I feel restless? Because you are dragging a loud machine everywhere you go. Now the mind will interrupt me here and say, but my problems are real. Yes, your problems may be real,but your suffering is often manufactured. Two people can face the same situation, same pressure, same challenges. One collapses. The other responds. What is the difference? One lives inside the story. The other lives in reality. The mind does not merely describe life. It adds commentary, predictions, fear, shame & or memory. And the most dangerous illusion is this. You believe you are your thoughts. But notice, you can watch a thought. And if you can watch it, it cannot be you. You are the watcher. And you have forgotten that. Here is a truth that makes even strong people uncomfortable. Your life is not hard. Your mind is undisciplined. An undisciplined mind loves drama. It creates fear when you are safe, doubt when you are capable, problems when nothing is happening. And you listen to every thought as if it were a command, a prophecy, a law. It is not. A thought is only a suggestion. And many of them are absurd & retarded. Don’t be a bitch. A mind without training is like a child holding a sword. It will hurt you. The moment you stop obeying every inner voice you discover something extraordinary…choice. And choice is freedom. The mind can only live in two places. The past or the future. It cannot live in the present. The present is too quiet, too simple, too honest. So the mind escapes into memory, into imagination, into fear. And while it travels between yesterday and tomorrow, life is happening and you are missing it. You call this being busy but it is absence. Peace is not a thought. Joy is not a plan. Love is not an idea. They are experiences & experiences only happen now. You cannot think your way into peace. You can only return to it. If you cannot control your attention, you cannot control your life. Attention is your most valuable currency besides your limited lifetime. Where it goes, your life goes. So we begin where the mind resists most. The body. The body never lies. The mind says, I'm fine, while the shoulders are tight and the jaw clenched. So return. Not philosophically but physically. Feel the breath. Not think about it. Feel it. And notice the moment attention touches sensation, the mind quiets. This is not magic. It is mechanics. Attention can only be in one place at a time. You do not need to fix your entire life. You need to relocate your attention. Your mind will protest. It will say, this is boring. It will say, this is pointless. That is addiction speaking. You do not fight the mind. You stop feeding it. A fire dies when you stop adding wood. Label the thought. Thinking, worrying, judging. And return again and again to breath, to body, to action. This is discipline. And slowly something changes. The space between you and thought grows. Thoughts still appear but they no longer command. This is power. Strength is not in silence. Strength is hearing the noise and not obeying. And here is the final truth…you do not need permanent silence. You need skill. The skill to be present even when thoughts arise. The skill to act even when fear is present. So stop asking: how do I stop thinking? Ask instead: how do I stop being controlled by thought? And the answer is always the same: return, return, return to breath, to body, to reality, to nature. And one day you will realize, not dramatically, not suddenly, you are no longer living inside your head. You are living. Now let me take you a little deeper because this is the point where most people misunderstand everything. They think the goal is to destroy the mind. They think freedom means no thoughts at all. The mind is not the enemy. The problem begins only when you confuse the tool with the master. You see, the mind is excellent at solving problems but terrible at knowing when to stop. So it keeps working even when there is nothing left to solve. And when there is nothing to solve it creates problems just to justify its existence. That is why when life becomes quiet, the mind becomes loud. Silence threatens the ego because silence exposes something uncomfortable. It exposes that you exist without thought. And that realization is terrifying to the identity that has been built entirely out of stories. That is why you return to thinking again and again not because it helps but because it feels familiar. Painful familiarity feels safer than peaceful uncertainty. Now observe something very carefully. A thought only has power after you believe it. Before belief it is just sound in the mind, like noise passing through the air. But the moment you say, this thought is me, this thought is true, this thought must be solved, you have already surrendered your authority. And most people surrender all day long. A thought says, you are behind in life & immediately the body collapses. A thought says, you are not enough, and suddenly confidence disappears. Notice... The thought itself did nothing, your obedience did everything. This is why awareness is dangerous to the mind because awareness breaks the spell. The moment you see a thought as a thought, it loses half its power. And the moment you stop reacting to it, it loses the rest. Now let me say something very important. The present moment is not something you achieve, it is something you stop leaving. You are not absent because life pulls you away, you are absent because you keep abandoning it. You abandon the present to fix an imagined future. You abandon the present to punish a remembered past. And the irony is this. The only place where change can happen is the place you keep leaving, right here. Now your mind may ask, what if I stop thinking, won't I become careless? No, you become clear. Carelessness comes from distraction. Clarity comes from presence. A present person sees problems faster, responds cleaner, and wastes less energy. An anxious person reacts late, overreacts emotionally & calls exhaustion hard work. Let's talk about effort. Most of your tiredness is not physical but psychological resistance. You are tired because you are fighting reality, arguing with what already is. The body gets tired from work. The mind gets tired from resistance. And resistance looks like this. This should not be happening. I should be somewhere else. I should be different by now. Every should is a quiet war against reality. And wars are exhausting. When you drop resistance you don't become passive you become efficient. Now listen closely. This is subtle. Presence does not remove pain. It removes unnecessary suffering. Pain is part of life. Suffering is optional commentary. Pain says, this hurts. Suffering says, why me? How long? What does this mean? Pain happens once. Suffering repeats endlessly. So when you stop living in your head, you still feel but you stop dramatizing feeling. And feeling without drama moves through you quickly. This is why people who feel deeply but do not overthink often heal faster than those who analyze everything. Now let's address fear. Fear does not disappear with thinking. Fear disappears with contact. Contact with the body, contact with action, contact with now. The mind fears the future because the future is unknown. But the body only knows the present and in the present you are usually okay. So every time you return to the body, you remind yourself of a simple truth. I am here, and I am alive. And in this moment, I can breathe. That alone dissolves half of anxiety. And then something remarkable happens. You begin to trust yourself not because life becomes predictable but because you become reliable. You stop asking, what if I can't handle it? And you start knowing, if it comes, I will respond. That confidence is not arrogance. It is grounded strength. This is why a person who lives in the present is harder to manipulate. They are not desperate for approval. They are not easily provoked. They are not controlled by fear based decisions. They move slowly but decisively. Now let me bring this back to something very practical. Most people think transformation is dramatic, a big moment, a sudden awakening. But real change happens quietly. It happens every time you notice you are lost in thought and return. That return is not weakness. That return is power. Each return rewires the mind. Each return strengthens awareness. Each return is a vote for freedom. So do not judge yourself for drifting. Drifting is human. Noticing is awakening. And returning is mastery. You don't need to escape your mind forever. You just need to stop being owned by it. And the moment you stop living in your head, you don't become less intelligent.
You become alive.
Live free.
