This looks Good.

The “This looks Good” meditation is one that I have *just realized* I do A LOT of when I want to override my brain spiraling into unhelpful thoughts.

It’s an easy concept but its implementation is why it works.

When I find my brain starting to chatter and then change that chatter to panic, gloom, or try’s to switch on my fight or flight over things I can’t help: I momentarily Gas Light myself.

I force my mind to shut the fuck up and notice what’s going right IMMEDIATELY! POST HASTE! Unless it’s life or death or I’m going to jail. We are good. This is good. It’s all good. Find the evidence for what’s going right and make your brain keep finding good things.

The brain is a quagmire of unhelpful and helpful information. It’s great…really… But even it doesn’t really care about your joy. Ever had a bad dream that made you wake up crying? Thanks brain…and why did you think a metaphorical gut punch is what I wanted to start my day with?

Rewrite the patterns consciously and soon enough it will be easier to see the multiple angles of any situation.

So, next time the world seems like it’s coming down hard around you. Find the good and hold on to it for a few minutes. It will allow your brain to reset and take a more mindful approach to your situation.
