MANAGING THE STRESS IN THE MAZE OF THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BRAIN

 Hey Locke and Key Fans,

The maze of the brain is a complex thing, there's many pathways that regulate thought, ideas, emotion, stress, and positivity. It's a reminder of that sci-fi movie trilogy The Maze Runner. Also I seen in this medical show with 22 seasons about how some parts of it light up like a lightbulb, which is pure brilliance. How psychology and neurology come together to triangulate trauma and happiness like signals from a phone tower is mind-blowing. The brain builds up personality and character of who we are and who we're meant to be at the same time. Managing all the stress in it has to be connected with technique such as breathing deeply and letting it out. Air filling the lungs like a balloon inflating and deflating makes you relaxed until you're thinking light positive thoughts. The brain has different receptors to manage comfort and pain as well like sensors lighting up. Taking your mind off things like watching greatness in the form of shows and drawing can calm things if you're triggered. 

Whoa. I rambled for a bit there, but I'll give y'all some awe-inspiring advice that will leave you shook. Sit back and relax against those fluffy pillows and blankets. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans. Grab some of your go-to chocolate to gobble. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Closing your eyes and going to a safe place can make your mind feel at ease. The brain shuts down all that activity that is zooming around like a boomerang jumping from thought to thought. Breathing can be a powerful tool to make you feel at ease if your brain is racing like a racecar at a million miles per hour. Sometimes you'll glitch, but other times you'll be centered like a dragon warrior feeling the cool jets of being cool as a cucumber without feeling all that tense energy.'

Ooh. Some awesome advice. Managing all that busy bee energy isn't an easy feat, it's a journey that you're on to find a mindful sense of peace. Most of the time your big beautiful smart brain will have that shadow of anxiety that makes your heart race a billion times faster like the speed of lightning, and you'll be sweating buckets of ice water, but there's tips and tricks to keep that panic from rising to the surface. Some of them involve breathing, some of them involve talking it out, writing or colouring/drawing. Being able to focus on the things that are enjoyable to do will make you find a sense of relief. 

Sheesh. I rambled on for a minute there. I'll get back to giving y'all some mind-boggling advice. Sit back and relax in those pillow/blanket forts you've crafted with creativity. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and shorts. Grab a pack of rice crackers to crunch on. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'It's about figuring out how to be in the sense of normality while being too much at the same time. You can tap into that emotional storm that makes you unique and one-of-a-kind. It's about finding the path of positivity while being able to move past challenges and obstacles that hold you back from being a-OK. Sometimes you can get into the whirlpool of anxiety, but having the tool belt to fight on the battlefield of survival and be dauntless is greatness in itself.'

OMG. Some mad advice that is pure brilliance. It's about the metaphorical plate that gets filled with situations and you can remove somethings by being able to be in the zone or your element where you're buzzing and being able to communicate your feelings to your number 1's in this life. It's about being confident with that boss level energy to be able to feel the vibe of positivity to really embrace the realm of calm 24/7. You're in a thunderstorm of panic, but when you learn to let it all out like a balloon deflating then you'll be like the rainbow breaking through a cloudy sky to soak up all that misery into a picture perfect moment. Be present or do that thing called 'living in the moment/keeping your mind wide open.' Extend the hand of trust and build a bridge to recovery instead of burning all of them. 

Whoa, I rambled on for a bit there. I'll get back to giving y'all some earth-shattering, life-altering advice. Sit back and relax against those cool tents that y'all are chilling in. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and shorts. Grab a rice crispies square covered in chocolate to munch on. Listen loud and crystal clear while you're sipping on that tea in your hand:

'You can go and have some time to yourself to take a breather from whatever you're stressed out about. Staring into the mirror of positive affirmations can help you. Expand on what you like about yourself and shout it to the rooftops with that loud roaring lion/lioness voice and let everything out into the void so you can be in that tidal-wave of tranquility even if the brain is rushing a million miles an hour with all these different pathways of thought and ideas. Go into your favourite room of your yard (house) or bedroom and just take a moment to forget about everything while chilling or drawing if it helps you to empty the darkness out. Scream if you have to sometimes that works.'

Ay! Legendary advice to take into consideration there. It's about making sure the maze inside the brain has room to breathe and identify all these drawers that are opening and shutting constantly. Looking for answers and solutions can tire you out if you're doing mental gymnastics most of the time to form strategy when you need to get out of the mind and just focus on the good old practise of meditation that can make you feel revved up to being okay to reach your goals that drive you on the winding road to destiny and success. It's about being centered while having a strong line of defense and offense mechanisms to use in terms of real-life scenarios. Inhale, exhale, repeat. 

Ooh. I did it again rambled for a second. I'll get back to the topic at hand and lay down some words of wisdom like an old person. Sit back and relax against those comfy seats. Slide into your favourite pair of loungewear/PJ's/kaftans/hoodies and joggers/t-shirts and jeans/go-to team kits. Grab some sour sweets to gobble. Listen loud and crystal clear:

'Favourite places can be calming. Getting out and about can make you recharge and going to awesome places in your country can make you feel a bit better. Go for a walk and come back after a little while. Do some NETFLIX/Disney Plus chilling. Find ways to wind down and switch off for a second, write it all down so it's not always spinning round like a helicopter blade in your mind. Some people go shopping or be home alone and hold the fort down. Finding your place can be what makes all the frustration running through you melt away.'

I'll leave y'all to chew on that while giving you one last quote along the lines of:

'Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.'- Bridge to Terabithia
