You Don’t Have To Be Caught In Your Sh*tty Mind Trap (transcript)
Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Relax your body.

Breathe in and say yes to what is.
Breathe out and let go of your worries.

Let go of your resistance to what is. What am I resisting right now? The way I fucking feel! I hate feeling bad! I never want to feel bad! And I’m really annoyed when I don’t feel great. So right now I’m saying yes to feeling bored, complete self-hatred, completely sick of myself! Yes I am so sick of myself!

Breathe in and say yes to what is! Whatever it is!
Breathe out and say yes to however you feel about yourself.

I am so frustrated with myself. Yes I am so frustrated. Yes I am so sick of myself. Yes I am so tired of trying! Yes I am so tired of thinking! Yes I am so tired of my facade. I am so tired of maintaining some kind of image. Yes I am so sick of caring about what I look like. Yes I am so sick of caring about what other people think about me. Yes I am so sick of worrying. Yes I am so sick of being in my head!

Breathe in and keep saying yes to what is!
Breathe out and feel better already!

The more you say yes to what is, the more those things are free to move on. I feel better already! I can already tell I am on an upswing!

Breathe in and welcome whatever it is.
Breathe out and keep saying yes.

Yes my arm hurts from that stupid vaccine. Yes I am so frustrated. Yes I am so tired of myself!

Breathe in and welcome whatever it is you’re feeling!
Breathe out and know: it’s only the mind.

And if you have recently come across some experience of enlightenment, where you felt on top of the world, like you really had a handle on this ego shit, like you really knew what you were doing with presence—if you felt like that recently and all of a sudden you have crashed and become more of your ego self than ever, well that’s just your mind fighting against its ultimate dissolution.

Breathe in and welcome the downward spiral!
Breathe out and welcome the trash you may feel like after a moment of awakening.

We’re human. We have ups and downs. It’s the mind. The mind has ups and downs, but inside, in our core, we are pure awareness. We just are. Inside we are pure love. Inside we are pure joy and contentment. And we can get there if we transcend our thoughts. If we witness our minds instead of getting caught up in these hateful thoughts.

Breathe in and be pure awareness.
Breathe out and relax.

If it’s hard to be pure awareness, it might be because you don’t feel that great. And if you don’t feel that great, it’s because you’re stuck in your mind with your shitty thoughts. And the easiest way to get out of that trap of shitty thoughts is to say yes to them. Yes I am stuck in a mind trap of shitty thoughts. Yes I feel horrible about my recent decisions. Yes I am feeling completely hateful of myself. Yes I am deeply regretting some of my actions. Yes I am blowing this out of proportion. Yes I am making a big deal out of a small thing. And on and on. You can feel the relief come. It comes quick when you just acknowledge where you’re at. And underneath the mind that’s going crazy because it’s afraid it’s going to die—and it’s GOING to die. It dies when you stop giving attention to shitty thoughts. The mind doesn’t like that.

Breathe in and give attention to your capital S self.
Breathe out and stand up to your thoughts.

Take control of your attention. You don’t have to hate yourself. You don’t have to be caught in your shitty mind trap. First say yes to those stupid thoughts and just acknowledge that they’re there and you’ll feel so relieved. And as you feel better and better and get more space and clarity from your mind, you relax into the witness position, the observer, the watcher. Pure awareness. And from there, you’re content. You’re joyful. You’re at peace. So if you’re having trouble getting to that place of presence, if you’re having trouble feeling your sense of being, first say yes to all of those painful thoughts. They just want acknowledgement. Acknowledge those painful feelings. Acknowledge what you’re thinking and feeling. Just say yes. And by saying yes you let it go and you’ll feel so relieved, and then you’ll be in a space where you’re able to BE present. You’ll get some distance. You’ll get a breath of fresh air. There is so much freedom available for you, right here, right now. All of the love, all of the joy, all of the contentment. It’s here. It’s in you. Ready to be revealed. Just a couple quick yeses to your stupid fucking thoughts, your stupid fucking feelings, and then you’re free. The one who watches is already free!

Breathe in and say yes to your stupid fucking thoughts and feelings.
Breathe out and feel so relieved. Now you’re free to be present and just enjoy being!
