Finding Clarity in Blindness

STORYTIME & Shower Thoughts 🚿 💭 … what you can learn from a moment of blindness when you learn to control your mind and be in the moment. A moment ago while showering, I meant to put a salt scrub on my face and managed to throw a huge dollop of Himalayan 🧂 right into my left 👁️. Burning in agony, to my own surprise I yelled… “WHY??!!!!? What am I NOT SEEING????” Instead of the typical complaints, drama, and profanities that would follow such an event… I showered for at least 20 minutes completely blind, mach-10 pain pulsing in my left eye, and managed to complete all tasks including shaving, while having one of the more memorable and relaxing showers of my life. HOW?!? I changed my mind. I was able to notice my senses better and trust that even when I can’t “see” I still “know” what to do and will find a way. I also noticed that by managing my own reaction, I could choose to have an enjoyable 20 mins or one that could put a damper on my day. The scents SMELLED better, the water FELT better, I knew where everything was instinctually and could FEEL my way through tasks, bottles, and processes. I pondered the question and came up with at least 3 things I was grateful for that that had happened this week that I blindly overlooked as being amazing because I was too caught up in the over-stimuli of the week to notice. Takeways: When you trust yourself to know what to do regardless of the situation, you will have a better outcome. You can choose your reaction to EVERYTHING When you ask yourself what you’re not seeing, you can get crystal clear on missed moments and opportunities. You don’t need to see or know the outcome, to achieve what you need to. You just need to trust, let go, and take action. Gratitude can be found even in the annoying moments. We have Complete control of our minds when we choose to, even while in pain. Losing one sense will almost always heighten your others, learn to trust and lean in when it happens. Water heals everything 😉 Food for thought next time something bad happens. this was a positive experience for me and the pain eventually turned into learning and joy.
