Having an infinite #perspective supply, and sometimes not realizing it, is totally human. It is one of many ways we pretend not to be #infinite. It's innocent - we don't pretend on purpose. Not realizing is human nature, specifically the #NatureOfThought.
3/4
This example actually shows how #simple #MentalHealth can be from understanding one thing: You feel what you think as you think it. That's the #NatureOfThought. It's the same for everyone, everywhere, all the time. It's not a NT/ND thing at all! Check your own experience for proof.

This is a simple drawing of two glasses of water side by side. On the left, the water appears muddy as a spoon stirs up bits of dirt. The muddy water is labeled "chaos" and under the glass it says "when you overthink." On the right, all the bits of dirt have settled to the bottom and most of the glass contains blue water labeled "clarity." Under this glass it says "when you stay still." There is no attribution for creating this image but the metaphor appears in Jamie Smart's book Clarity about the self-correcting nature of the mind.
You don't make me anxious. No matter how much you think, you'll only ever make yourself anxious. That's the #NatureOfThought. Understanding this is the crux of emotional regulation. #overthinking #anxiety #clarity
Not naive, delusional or theoretical. Understanding thoughts/feelings as two sides of one coin allows inner workings to self regulate well. Misunderstanding this creates dysregulation. It's the #NatureOfThought for all humans of any neurotype. No need to trust my words. 1/2
When we realize this in the moment, our understanding can allow thoughts to come and go. Feelings follow in tow. Inner peace restores itself.
When we don't realize this, our innocent misunderstanding creates emotional dysregulation.
This is the #NatureOfThought. 5/7

Seems we often overthink by innocently misunderstanding the #NatureOfThought. We ponder how to change/fix our thinking, or what our thinking means about us. Meanwhile, we simply miss how the feelings driving our action/inaction tell us only about thoughts as we think them. 2/4
When we embrace our #neurouniqueness, we tap into an #infinite supply of #simplicity that's always available, even when we don't notice. Your experience is valid exactly as it is - no need to overthink and complicate. #NatureOfThought 3/4
Ever notice how #simple everything is when we stop making it complicated? Your mind isn't "typical" or "divergent" - it's uniquely, perfectly you. #Neurounique simply means there is #infinite #neurodiversity and no single point of origin where all divergence begins. #NatureOfThought 1/4
Looking where I’m being pointed, or not, is my choice and I’m realizing I make it at least partly based on #minimalism of thought - keeping my thinking to what feels necessary and not unnecessarily thinking beyond that. #NatureOfThought #simplicity 3/4
I am becoming aware of “minimalism of thought.” I notice this in my experience when a person, a social media post, a video, or anything seems like an invitation to think. #simplicity #EmotionalIntelligence #MentalHealth #NatureOfThought #minimalism #neurodiversity 1/4
Everything is #simple, except when you make it complicated.
What other insights emerge when you see yourself as #neurounique?

4/4
The #simplicity of being #neurounique is always available to you. It's not about conforming or diverging - it's about recognizing, accepting, and celebrating your natural state of being. May the allow be with you. #authenticity #acceptance #NatureOfThought 3/4
What if being human is more #simple than we think? Beyond #neurodivergent and #neurotypical, there's a beautiful #simplicity: we're all #neurounique, each experiencing our own perception of reality. #NatureOfThought #infinity #consciousness #philosophy #spirituality #MentalHealth 1/4
We are always capable of looking at experiences in multiple ways. How we look at (think about) it creates our emotional response. We don't always notice but this is the #NatureOfThought, creating emotions but blaming situations. This understanding is key to emotional regulation. 3/4

Light blue background with white writing that says: SIMPLE Sayings #46, You can make a personal peace treaty with yourself anytime. Love, ĐƠN GIẢN
This provided a new lens through which to view myself. New thinking, new feeling. This is the #NatureOfThought, which I didn't always know. From the perspective of Tôi ổn, I experienced a helpful shift in my energy and attitude, like I'd made peace with #ADHD.
White writing on a red background says: SIMPLE Sayings #14, You are not your thoughts. It only feels like you are. Love, ĐƠN GIẢN
In sum, I was functioning reasonably successfully, but I was emotionally turbulent & mentally messy
In 2009, I was undiagnosed & unmedicated. That story another day. For NOW I'll simply credit my first glimpses of the #NatureOfThought, an understanding pivotal to my wellbeing & eventually my work.
This is a white name tag with a red border. Vietnamese words are written in black saying: Xin chào, tên tôi là Đơn Giản. This translates to Hello, my name is Đơn Giản.
Today I realized "I'm fine" (Tôi ổn) and I have #ADHD can both be true simultaneously for me. I was making it either/or. That was helpful at first. Then it wasn't. NOW a new story. A 🧵 about #simplicity, #infinity, and how I chose the name ĐƠN GIẢN. #neurodiversity #neurounique #NatureOfThought
Red background with white writing says: SIMPLE Saying #14, You are not your thoughts. It only feels like you are. Love, ĐƠN GIẢN
Updating "teach a man to fish":
Tell someone a new thought, they may briefly feel better. Point them to the #NatureOfThought, they can discover inner peace & innate mental wellbeing are always available
Want to notice this more for yourself? Ask me to point privately for you.
Replacing an old story about yourself with a new one helps most when you see you've made up both and one just feels better. #NatureOfThought #EmotionalIntelligence #MentalHealth
