“When you are afraid, use your sword; bring it up here and cut the mind to pieces. Pierce all regrets and fears; the rest live in the past or in the future. A warrior never gives up on what he loves; he finds love in what he does. Warrior does not mean perfection, nor victory, nor invulnerability: it means absolute vulnerability; this is true courage. The accident is your training, life is choosing.”
(The warrior of peace – the strength of the champion)

Today it causes nervousness, many thoughts, a little anger and frustration due to external situations, I thought I had writer's block.

Blocks, after all, are only in our heads; maybe not even there...

Let me explain, I felt and was well aware of all the sensations I experienced, I sat down to write and nothing came to me; I actually just couldn't articulate thoughts into words.

Yes, because the thoughts kept flowing, they followed one another in my head therefore the block wasn't really there otherwise the mind would have been empty too.

In reality, the actual state I was experiencing was simply one of total confusion and, when thoughts are confused, it becomes very difficult to put them on paper in a logical and well-articulated way.

Yes, even a writer's block has caused me to reflect, my little head is strange.

Fully understanding my state of mind it became very easy to remedy, I calmed down, let anger and frustration go their way and regained full control of myself.

I believe that, when you experience these situations, some things are fundamental to deal with them, first of all to solve them you simply need to know how to dominate your mind, your thoughts and your emotions.
I'm simply saying something that actually isn't simple; the starting point, in my opinion, is awareness.
Before being able to empty one's mind, or rather, before regaining the flow of one's thoughts, it is necessary to be aware of all the sensations experienced.
Once this is done, it will be necessary to calm down and return to a state of stillness, everyone has their own way of doing it, there are those who meditate, those who drink a coffee or perhaps let off steam by playing video games.

For me what works is silence; I sit in the studio, on my beautiful gaming chair, I close my eyes and breathe enjoying the sound of silence, I don't try to empty my mind or think of nothing, I simply let everything flow in my head taking its direction; I calm my anxieties, my fears, anger and frustration and I take back the helm of my mind.

Master your mind and you will rule the universe!

Going deeper into these considerations, I think it is peaceful to affirm that, between saying and doing, there is a sea in the middle; being able to dominate yourself and your mind completely is certainly not a joke, but it is something that can be done with commitment and training.

In my opinion it is something that can and must be done; we should all be aimed at our growth, at the realization of the best version of us and, to do this, these are the fundamental steps.

Fundamental yes, but no one says that they are simple or immediate steps, no one says that it is not necessary to commit oneself totally and, of course, this will also bring a lot of effort, but it is worth it.

In the past I was a very impulsive person, I often snapped for a trifle, if I felt anger before it faded it took a long time, sometimes days go by and it was always there to eat me and gnaw at me; growing up I understood that it was not the best way to live one's emotions and life, I decided that I would do everything to dominate myself, to be in full power of my actions certainly but also and above all of thoughts which, in the end, are those that move everything about us.

Little by little I began to reap the fruits of my commitment; of course the road is still long and I know I can always do better and more, the way to become a warrior of peace is full of obstacles and we will probably never understand if we have reached the goal or not.

However, I believe that a long and almost infinite journey can be an incentive to never stop in our improvements, if there is something more that can be done, I want to do it; this is my way of being and I like to always be faithful to him.

Well, in the end, despite this elusive writer's block, a nice reflection and a nice text came out; think, before starting to write I spent a couple of hours looking pissed at the monitor, then after just a few minutes of silence this reflection was born and in half an hour it became all these words you are reading... sometimes the anger besides eating us in it also makes us waste a lot of time, lol!
