Problem Solving OR Actualizing Potential

I woke up several times in the middle of the night trying to “figure out” a problem that wouldn't let me sleep.

It had to do with finalizing my divorce, what that entailed and how to do it as quickly and smoothly as possible.

There were several solutions, none of which could be executed at 2:30 AM so it was pretty much a moot point.

But I kept waking up. Replaying the same scenario. Ruminating on the same outcomes.

Until I began to shift from a problem/solution pattern of thinking to actualizing potential.

I started to see that the situation had massive evolutionary potential WHEN I could see the whole vs the fragmented ways we normally look at things.

And the felt sensations within my body changed immediately.

I went from anxious and constricted, literally noticing that I was holding my breath and muscles tight…

to open and expansive, the breath flowing and the body relaxing.

It took a few minutes of this repatterning but I must have drifted off to sleep because I awoke in the morning, just before dawn, with my normal circadian rhythm guiding me…

…not panic-ridden heart palpitations.

The curious nature of humans wants to solve life, like a 1000-piece puzzle…

…but what if the pieces were never cut off from each other? What kind of puzzle would we have?

Maybe one that didn't need a solution but an evolution. #fullmoonvibes
