A single thought can trigger fear that stays with someone for a lifetime.
And yet… we never know what our next thought will be.
That’s always struck me as both strange and extraordinary.
A thought alone can create powerful emotional and physical responses in the body: mental, emotional, psychological - all at once.
During my training, I worked with a memory that felt particularly alive.
I was with my cousin, both of us on old, rusty bicycles with no brakes, flying down a mountain road.
No control. No fear. Just pure joy. Pure freedom.
We were very young and carefree.
As part of the exercise, I had to gently play with the thought, noticing how different emotions came and went.
What surprised me most was how sad I felt when that high, expansive feeling faded, even momentarily.
And how relieved I was when I realised I could bring it back.
It reminded me how fluid our inner world really is.
Our brain is phenomenal, truly.

Being “the strong one” is burning you out.
You overthink. Stay quiet. Then replay it all later.
