Confusingly Convoluted Simplicity
Continuing with my rephrasing of our Five Simple Things, today we have #4, which was really hard to totally and completely change. In the process of rewriting it, I came up with a wonderfully, confusing and convoluted, long and involved rendering of : “Every time you use keys, visualize they are unlocking opportunities to get you closer to your dreams.”
Here’s what I came up with:
From this moment on,
When making use of a tool for easy access,
Picture in your mind’s eye
That you have just released and expanded
Favorable chances
To draw ever nearer to infinite possibilities
For health, happiness, prosperity,
Or what ever it is you wish to achieve.
Sometimes simple is just better… well, actually, simple usually is better, and the simplest way to say this is:
“When unlocking something, imagine you are unlocking your dreams.”
So, that was somewhat enlightening. I like the long, convoluted, complicated phrasing that really gets my mind running all over the place. But I think that’s because having my mind running all over the place is familiar and comfortable. It’s my preferred mode of avoiding difficult feelings and situations.
However, making it simple might be really useful as well.
Which makes me wonder, what if I kept it simple inside my brain, for at least a small part of the day… what would that look like? What if it looked like me actually being in the actual moment in my actual body… Wow! Imagine that! And what if everything I said, or did, was just simple. Maybe it would be easy and simple. Maybe it would be fun to be simple… I don’t know. Might be worth a try!

Now I’m really interested in the idea of how to keep it simple inside my brain… not forever… not even for long periods of time… but just sometimes… is that what meditation actually is? I think so! AHA! I had an A HA! moment right here right now! wow!
First..love love love the image. I never doubted that you could take something simple and make it super convoluted and complicated. It’s what you do. I have not figured out an intention for food preparation that will work at work but I will
You got this, Daniel! I am having lots of “aha” moments this week. So this has been really good for me. Also, I am doing “morning pages” (as per The Artist Way), with Layla and that has also been a huge help.
