Dancing with Your Thoughts

Social distancing has forced its way into our life. All of us are affected and we do not know how to handle this. Even I, the one who loves staying indoors and disliked socialising, feels suffocated by it. This is when your thoughts started to Samba dance its way into your mind. With no proper human interaction, how do we handle this?

Samba Dance is a lively, rhythmical dance that most times showcase a duet. So just like samba, entertaining our thoughts will make our lonely days more interesting. It really does takes two to samba. 

What though, had you chose to Samba with lately? I had a few, and yours will be different than mine. 

I had a good dance with my sense of “justice”, angry at irresponsible individuals who ignores government order to stay home. I danced with the “what if’s”, many one scenarios came out more scary after another on the safety of my family members. 

Today, I am dancing with my single(mother)hood, where there is a desire to have a companion with me, yet the same time I wish the need to be non-existent, cause the thought of getting married and next having another child after my toddler who is fatherless seems unfair for her and selfish of me. I have been dancing with the last thought for quite some time. I had chosen to just pray it away and ignore it with activities and games and other things to do, but finally today, I am forced to sit down with it. I now understand that it is not wrong to have this wants. The wrong I am doing is to ignore the want and alienate it. Or that at times I dwell on it too much.

By recognising a need that may cause me to fall away from God, it enables me to realise that I need someone to hold on to, just like how the author of Psalms 94 say, “I am falling,but You held on to me”.

Think about it. If you fall, the first thing you think of is to have someone/something to hold on to.

Next time, when there is something screaming for your attention, don’t put it aside. Instead, ask God to hold on to you as you feel like you are slipping away.

Sense-making. While these PostIts scribbles don’t make sense to you, they capture 30 minute of clear thinking while I walked this morning. The most important point is that I captured my thought so I don’t lose sight to them. #100dayproject #100daychallenge #100daysofmindmaps #visualthinking #mindmaps #captureyourthoughts #day14

I certainly don’t have it ALL figured out. Two steps further, though. #typehunter #captureyourthoughts #visualthinking #mindmap
