Yes. It was found. Today. This morning around 5:30 AM… Actually, it was only the realization of the idea… Quite an old and valuable idea providing (similar to a very good glass of red wine) the mind comfort of an essential epiphany…

It is simple… The cure is actually your unfiltered independence, from everything, from yourself even. From the main issue of the day. From any personal or global crisis. Let me explain. This idea is linked to known concepts such as placebo, nirvana, ideal thinking, bohemian… you got the point. Those people walking by yourself, singing, dancing…. with their heads stuck in a cloud (not AWS or AZURE…. since they do not follow this pattern filled with peace and joy…. they are going down with the global market – as it should).

The main point is – you cannot escape yourself, your fears, your core beliefs, your allergies (towards beauty included)… your global part/role of this world… you are over-connected, you are over-exposed. You want to retreat on a personal island, to ignore, to get disconnected and you truly believe that you can fool your own mind into this dual layer game of ignorance… but something inside tells you differently, you are trying to relax using this complex aromatherapy mix of indifference and love, panic and zen and you are in the end failing. Not only you. Us. We are failing together since we are always together. Your island, the initial premise from the initial block of this paragraph is virtual, it does not exist.

From the biological/genetic point of view, you need another infection. Some competition against the initial infection. But it must be of high quality. Something that will make your body thrive. Like adrenaline. Yes. Press that acceleration. Turn on the music volume towards the end of the scale. Laugh at the best humor possible. Live harder. Because in the end, this is what you want: To stay alive.

Live & love harder. Love yourself, the others. Your job. Your ideas. Remember what brought you together. Dance. Sing. Forget about everything. Sleep more. Eat healthily and yes, wash your hands since you want to feel clean and neat for that special person next to you. The solution, in the end, is simple, just be yourself, stop acting as someone framed within an image projected against your own core. Accept your status, your value and simply move on. Revert your inner system towards the last known good configuration and take it from there. Simply live and enjoy the small things.

if you need some formalization of all above, I can tell you this essential idea (since it is extracted from my personal job experience and, as my good friends and colleagues know, I love my job):

(def) a virus = an antivirus (with some particular aspects of course in mind). Your immune system needs to remain independent (sounds familiar ?) from yourself, from your central nervous system, from your beliefs or feelings. It was designed like this to be able to save you from most of the situations where your upper stack would fail you miserably. Sometimes you need your amygdala, your instinct to drive you away from a potentially serious context, from danger, from chaos… So:

We need another positive  (I will let you define this for yourself – you know best what heals you) infection to mess up the primary one (in theory negative in nature). We need a reset mechanism. If we can keep the primary infection busy with its own competition we are already winning. This can be seen as a mirror reaction. You mess up with my life targeting a core aspect and doing this in a global fashion… I need a similar reaction from my end but now somehow targeted against my inner world (biological/spiritual). This could be a blood transfusion, a medicine or a happy thought. Or pure ignorance (I prefer the latter since I am lazy and I like being alone).

At this point, I would use a musical trick/sign that I learned early in my life within a very familiar context (that I recently revisited – best decision of my life):  the Repeat Symbol (composed of 2 lines – thin & thick and 2 dots – feel free to connect these as you see fit). You need to re-read the entire text (hit F5 while doing this or the refresh arrow if you are non-IT, would help my statistics and my alter ego a bit). But also do it in your own life (by the way, I would not change too much within except for the negative annoying bits that are relevant or annoying).

Place yourself on Repeat mode for all the good/cool stuff, for the best moments with the best / difficult friends. For remembering the best memories and moments and places and why not,  the best “dramas”. Because we love drama. We should have next to our day to day exit door a “dramatic exit” door – both at home or at work (it is ok to laugh, this is not actually my idea, I saw it on Facebook once, on a similar context with the image of the meditation infused dude that got the entire ommmm incantation wrong – according to the 2 cows standing by and observing him).

Yes… you are allowed to laugh. Be ironic (most of my figurant friends I have are ironic and I love them for it). And again, all this good stuff that heals your mind, put it on repeat. Keep it there.

Thank you for your time. It’s 12:30 and I still have 21 minutes left to grab something (if still available) + 9 minutes for my favorite (recently discovered) latte. I hope you are more relaxed and thus more healthy, maybe cured (at least from some form of stupidity/manipulation/fear). I know I talk a lot so this (writing towards yourself) is a form of therapy that helps me obtain my independence, my own quiet instance, chill, invisible.

Have fun & love yourself!
