Draw a small open circle

Draw a small open circle on a piece of paper, like a C, and put a dot inside it.



The open circle is the prediction loop: your thoughts, the worst-case scenarios. You don’t have to finish it or argue with it. In fact, don’t ever argue with your predictions or thoughts. I am telling you: you will never win.

The dot is you. Here in your body, now.

Carry that paper with you. When you start feeling down, even though nothing is happening and it's just your thoughts, look at this paper and let it remind you: “This is a prediction. Feel this moment.”

And then notice one real sensation: the warmth of your hand, your feet on the floor, or one breath. You don’t have to force your mind to go blank. Just notice. Sense different parts of your body. The moment you start thinking again, come back to sensing, come back to sensing, come back to sensing, come back to sensing...

Different parts of your body.

Over and over again.

That is the muscle of the present moment where life actually happens, dreams happen, magic happens.

The life you desire. 

It's all in the unknown.

How can the life you desire live in your predictions? You have never lived it. It’s a surprise. That’s why they say “Be present”.

How long do I do this daily?

Every day as I do my Flow Ritual.

When I apply my oils, I have something real to feel: the temperature of the oil, the weight of my hands, the smooth texture of my skin, the scent, the pace of my breath.

Instead of a dot on paper, I have my own face. My cheek. My jaw. My forehead. When thoughts arrive, I come back to my hands.

A few minutes like this give your body one clear message: nothing is happening right now. Because when you are sensing, you are not thinking or predicting. Your body stops guarding you from some imaginary future threat. When the guard is down, the body can regulate. When it regulates, it can balance and return to homeostasis. When it balances, it creates beauty; it heals you. That is the order.

The oils support your skin. Your attention tells your body it is safe enough to let them work.

In the end, you will feel so calm, so relieved. When you stop predicting, you are no longer torturing your body, creating self-made panic attacks.

Energy moves into your heart and then the brain.

If someone looks at you while you do this, they would see a smile.

I am smiling in those few minutes every day.

But Ezgi, what if they happen? Bad things, there is a reason; there is this proof that it might happen

Blah blah blah...

Divine being, listen to me. You are creating everything. Can we still call this woo-woo?

We can not.

You are an observer of your own reality. Reality that you see exists because you are observing.

If a tree falls in the forest, and there's nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?

Hmm…

Mind-blowing, isn’t it? The Quantum Theory.


Stop observing, predicting what you do not want to happen.

Predicting the worst case like it's your dream.

Stop believing your thoughts.

Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's true.

So, morning and night, as you apply your flow ritual, help your body out in returning to balance. 


Peace will arrive, calm will arrive, healing will arrive, dreams will arrive. It's all in the unknown. You have never lived it.


Feel your skin, your hands, this moment and return to the present moment.
