So many things crisscross through our abilities to think. Is it wise to cross pollenate what lives within the mindsets? Let me break it down.  A text message from a family member or friend doesn’t fit too well in your heart.  It gets tangled up with a thought your boss from a different location just threw out there while circling the pressure of remote learning from your kids, the rent is due already and news of the pandemic taking 500,000 by the end of February.  So many things crisscross through our abilities to think.  Is it wise to cross pollenate what lives with in the mindsets?  Your soul is getting a daily beating.  Listening to the inner core of actuality is what sets up this new age thinking pattern.  Ask yourself with transparency at hand, “What am I able and capable of handling?”  That means you’re gonna have to face what triggers you.  Over the past 52 weeks our methods of communicating not only to ourselves but others has drastically changed.  So many hardworking deeply dedicated employees are hiding behind their Zoom.  It’s not face to face.  Not in the way of what used to be.  More than ever we’ve learned to read people’s eyes more than their lips.  Our body language in public and on Zoom is a book cover and it’s being judged.  We need to remove that stigma and make the power of peace our first choice.  It’s time you go onto Zoom alone and watch your facial expressions.  Put your mask on in the bathroom mirror and look deeper into your eyes.  The shape is the new body language.  When you’re clogged and torn up by everything that’s falling apart your eyes tell the story long before people reach you.  I’ve started a new mission in my daily writing.  Remove.  Do not replace.  We’re carrying so much mental trash that it’s nothing more than added weight. Remove.  Do not replace.  Guilty!  I don’t want to be in this mood so I will replace it with this one.  Oops that one didn’t work.  Let me try this mood.  Remove.  Do not replace.  When you replace a mindset with another it’s going to serve as a trigger.  A Firestarter.  When we don’t want to deal we replace.  The new goal is to remove.  If we don’t clear the path of the murky mud caused by modern day reality we’re going to keep slipping back into old habits and depression.  Remove.  Do not replace.  Every day when I step into my Defrag journal it’s not a boss critiquing an employee but rather a heart collaborating with empty.  How many years into your life is it going to take for you to shake hands with the inner source of self?  Make the time to make room.  Remove.  Do not replace.
