I could definitely see Existentialist Emotional Escher being a translated into a mime piece. Woo-hoo. I think the interpretive dance would go well with Mental Moebius…people climbing all over each other and no one knows where anyone else begins or ends. 🙂

Hi Kayla,

That should almost be #11: thinking that you’re the ONLY one who does this! 🙂

I like your phrases for it. Do you think that an “Existential Emotional Escher” could be acted out? Like, an interpretive dance? Or, better yet, a mime?! Hmmmm.

Hi Susan,

Congratulations on leaving the Crappy Neighborhood. That’s a big step! Sending lots of love your way, my friend.

I just went through several of those numbers this past weekend. Funny how I thought I was THE ONLY ONE in the whole world who struggled with this. Like I was doing one of those mind traps ABOUT being a mind trap. Mental moebius strip or existential emotional escher!

Man was it crappy, I think I will just get me some God, and keep loving me up.
Thanks Z your the bomb, just sayin

“Shoulds” are tough, aren’t they?! Like a nagging critic inside our heads. I like your inclusion of Chopra’s advice: “Next. . .” I hadn’t heard that before. I also like responding to the voices with: “Thank you for sharing.” And then countering their “shoulds” with more constructive, positive ideas. Thanks for stopping by -great to hear from you! XOZ

Hi Jill, That’s pretty advanced – combining two distortions into one! I almost want to congratulate you! Instead, I will congratulate you on your awareness of your advanced maneuver. And your willingness to laugh at yourself. Always a good thing. 🙂 XOZ

Hi Fran! Actually, it was the superhero, David Burns, who gave it a name. His work is really amazing. The funniest thing is that we all do this stuff every day. Our minds are wacky places, really. Glad that you enjoyed the post. Great to hear from you, as always! XOZ
