Freedom Mortgage

How people get stuck in incidents and sacrifice every “now”, by filtering it through the past

Everyday life is full of unpredictable events. Some of them are small, others are big. And then, of course, come the huge ones. The unpredictability of life is inevitable. If you can’t accept that, you are going to be dragged by every little unexpected thing that comes up. This is going to stop your …flow, both internally and externally. And the problem is, you usually don’t investigate why, and this way, you put your freedom in the mortgage.

When somebody punches you in the face, your body loses its balance and gets out of its center axis for a few seconds. But then, it reverts to it. You -on the other hand- don’t do the same. You get angry or sad etc. You may respond verbally or in a nonverbal way. In either of these options, you stay in that incident, even when your day has moved forward and you‘re not in front of the person who punched you.

You still “carry” the incident, instead of carrying on.

Our reaction to anything is an energy that needs to come out. I understand the need of responding to somebody or something but, have you ever thought about what happens if you keep carrying something after the response you gave?
