The ‘inner weather’ of our mind directly impacts how we get to travel in life.
A sunny/ seventy kind of mentality = full speed ahead.
An overcast/ foggy kind of mentality = which way is even forward?
In life, mental clarity is the sunny day that allows us to unleash our full energy and potential into the journey that lies ahead.
Mental cloudiness is what throttles all of our efforts to that creeping, hazard lights pace that makes the prospect of the journey seem so daunting, confusing, and un-accomplishable.
The good news with our “inner weather” vs the “outer weather” is that we can actually influence our inner weather.
Which is excellent news for the person who is driving 25mph forward on a road that they’re not even sure is correct.
How do we influence/ change our inner weather? By incorporating more of the tasks that lead to mental clarity and removing more of the tasks the lead to mental cloudiness.
Some tasks that lead to mental clarity:
- Writing
- Therapy
- Meditation
Some tasks that lead to mental cloudiness:
- Click-bait topics
- Superficial Gossip
- Busy, distraction-based work
Mental cloudiness is typically the byproduct of passive, modern day living. Click bait bombards you at every turn, superficial gossip is the comfortable/easy form of communication, and busy is essentially society’s status update.
Mental clarity is typically the byproduct of active, rebellious type living. Writing when click bait is buzzing… Therapy when superficial is literally calling your name… Meditation when busy is ingrained into your state of being…
If you want to unleash all of what’s inside, you need to rebel; you need to make space for clarity; you need to clear the fog that’s inside.
