Notes

There was something getting in the way to my brain’s processing centre this past week. Every time I tried to access it to perform a task, it would be blocked the idea of failure, or toward the sheer daunting-ness of the task at hand. I face these thoughts pretty often, and the only two options I have in front of me are to either avoid them altogether, or face them straight on. 

Facing these obstacles usually means needing to prime my brain into a state of focus and non-judgement. For that to happen, certain rituals need to take place, if perhaps to center one-self, and enter a more meditative state of work.

In doing so, I sought out music that scratched a certain part of my psyche, that deeply dug into the blockers that had burrowed their way into my reward and pleasure centres, and I had to find some way to normalise and balance the chemicals just so that I could function again.
