We all have natural reactions to things.

I found through deep exploration that we have accumulated many habits strong and weak, often repeated by just reacting.

So likely we do so by having energy associated with such reactions. The brain keeps doing what it repeats.

If I look at what happens inside myself it is very easy to just react but harder to let go and just observe.

For that to happen I need to hold onto something to keep stable.

That is to say I need a way to balance my reactions.

The act of just observing can do this but takes practice.

I cannot skateboard because I do not have enough balance.

The mind is like a skateboard where you fall down allot.

So it take time to go slower and find that balance.

because everything must move together at the same time.

This could be well about making adjustments by inhibition since its always difficult to stop yourself.

As far as I know life is active so it requires doing life activities but you can still be in the moment no matter what you do or where you are.

Just observe what you are doing and you will get better at being awake, in control, enlightenment, whatever its called.
 
It is a very hard thing to become the observer.
A lot of people these days go around acting like they've "achieved" it which I find pretty hilarious.

Anyway, we could all use a little slowdown and caution in this world of warp speed madness.
 
Mental clutter,
I have so much mental clutter.

But I think its just something that pulls at you.
So it goes back to that balance thing again.

If I look at where it pulls me, I feel the tight spots.
Those are what the real issues are.
Not the thoughts but what they cling to.
The tight spots.

This is why its so hard to meditate only on breath.
You are not allowed to know where the source is because the source is not the breath.
The breath is just a training to get you focused but it will not alleviate the sources of tension.
You can breathe instead well looking at the tension and it goes away.
Then you can slow down and control movements.

movement is very good for depression as well.
clears out tensions and makes energy.
and the mind as well being present.
