Clearing your thoughts


Everyone has their own unique way of dealing with their thoughts. Some might relieve stress by throwing things around a room, while others practice breathing techniques while sitting in strange positions on a soft mat. My way of dealing with my thoughts either good or bad was by "stepping out" of the every day world, and taking a journey to a place that was unique in many different ways.


Many years ago I would regularly go for walks in a forest just a couple of kilometers away from my house. I enjoyed these afternoon strolls, which gave me an opportunity to be alone and clear my head when I needed to. I would walk alongside a road, which was quite isolated; once in a while a speeding car would come around the bend.

Eventually I'd reach the forest, every time entering at the same point, by the tree with a crooked trunk leaning to the left, with barely any leaves hanging from the branches. The few that existed were swaying in the wind like dancing hula girls on the beach. I'd step across the grass hearing twigs snap underneath my feet as well as the leaves rustling in the wind. Walking through an unfamiliar territory would normal give one the feeling of uneasiness, but this was not the case for me. In the forest I felt at home, as if I was a squirrel in my past life, bustling in the trees. I'd make my way along the trees in anticipation every single time, as if I'd never been to the end of the forest. The breathtaking spot I had adopted kept this feeling alive every time I'd come strolling through this path. Walking for quite some time, my legs would often wobble as I'd lose my balance on the uneven ground. I'd break a sweat as the sun would beat down on me, as if I was being punished for something I had done. None of this would keep me away from reaching my goal. After walking for quite some time I'd finally reach my goal, the spot I had envisioned in my mind the whole journey. I now diminished the size of my footsteps, as if I needed to walk in slow motion to properly take in my surroundings. I now felt my steps were as light as a feather as my mind was focused on other things. My eyes would widen as if this would help the amount of images stored in my brain. I made my way towards a big boulder that at first seemed out of place.



Touching the stone with the palm of my hands helped my balance as I'd slowly make my way up the boulder like an antelope climbing up a mountainside. With much struggle and more cuts than I would like to admit, I finally made my way up to the top. Standing at the head of this mountain made me feel like I was at the top of the world. I had a three hundred and sixty degree view, and it was all mine to take in. The mountain tops, the grassy plains, the uneven ground that surrounded me, all gave a peace of mind that could not be explained to the simple brain. I'd look around taking deep breaths in order to enjoy the tranquility of it all. The view I had seemed like a puzzle, if each piece was standing alone, it was not very appealing, but once put together if was fascinating.

I'd stay there for quite some time allowing myself to complete free my body of all negative thoughts and feelings. This place was my savior, my life would be completely different without it.
