Master Your Dragon: The Art of Riding Your Mind
Today you will understand how your mind helps and sabotages you at the same time, and how to become its ally.
“It is not your shadow nor your burden. It is your flying companion.”
The Day My Dragon Awoke
Imagine any ordinary day, perhaps one of those days when everything seems to go wrong. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, work is piling up, and worries seem eager to devour you. You look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Will I do everything right today?”. With every step, you feel how your mind fills with noises, criticisms, and doubts. That inner voice turns into a voracious dragon, burning with flames, ready to destroy your confidence. That was me a couple of years ago.
As the day went on, I realized that I was not only fighting against my tasks but also against this inner beast that seemed unwilling to leave me in peace. My thoughts were so fast and chaotic that I often felt like a lost rider, trying to control a dragon that clearly was beyond my grasp.
However, that inner struggle led me to a crucial discovery: learning to dialogue with that dragon, not to dominate it. Thus began my journey towards self-reflection and self-compassion, where I started to listen instead of fight. From there, everything began to change.
Listening to the Dragon
What we experience in our daily life is nothing more than a representation of our deepest fears and desires. The dragon is not your enemy. It is a part of you that has been guarding your instincts, your emotions, and your history. We must recognize that our reptilian brain reacts from fear and the need to control. However, that is not the problem; the real challenge lies in not listening to what it has to say. In the game of Rider and Dragon, everything revolves around dialogue.
When our emotions arise, we are often in a survival mode, where our inner voice becomes a distressing scream. Instead of locking ourselves in an internal battle, we must learn to guide the little dragon with love and understanding. In this way, a relationship of respect and collaboration is established, in which purpose is given to the dragon, not obedience.
The Reins of Your Mind
A good rider does not shout; they simply guide. Here is where the reins play a fundamental role. The reins are a tool to connect our intention with our actions. I present to you the four reins that can help focus your dragon’s attention:
- Verbal Rein: The way you speak to yourself determines how you feel. Change "I have to" to "I choose" and you will see an immediate transformation in your attitude.
- Visual Rein: What you choose to look at can define your day. Upon waking, choose an inspiring image. Let it guide you in what you want to achieve.
- Emotional Rein: Your emotions are not your identity. Naming your emotions as visitors can free you from the weight they carry with them.
- Behavioral Rein: A small daily act can change the course of your life. Remember that a habit is a path built day by day.
Making a Contract With Your Mind
Internal contracts will help you define new and healthy ways of working with yourself. Here are four simple but effective contracts that can change your relationship with the dragon:
- Recognize: “What I am, have, and do is enough.” This halts the self-demand that so often paralyzes us.
- Thrive: “I can seek more without fear of getting lost.” This contract propels you to grow without feeling overwhelmed.
- Enjoy: “Value is also in what already exists.” Allow yourself to enjoy the present, appreciating what you have already achieved.
- Forgive: “I no longer carry more than what I have already learned.” Free your mind from past burdens that hinder your progress.
The Space of the Dragon
The Weyr is a place where we practice our relationship with ourselves. It does not need to be a sacred physical place; it can be any corner where you feel yourself. Whether it’s a notebook, a daily walk, or a conversation. The important thing is to be consistent in returning to your contracts and reins.
Remember: A rider who does not practice... forgets how to guide. It is in practice where you show compassion to yourself and where you can really fine-tune the relationship with your dragon.
A Reflection at the End of the Flight
How could your life change if you start applying what you’ve learned? Imagine revisiting that initial scene, but now with tools. You no longer see yourself trapped by chaos but rather guiding your dragon in the right direction. Everyday experiences transform into opportunities for growth, and what once was a burden now becomes a flying companion.
New dragons may arise along the way, but now you have an arsenal of tools to face them. The key is not to fight but to learn to navigate together. Seek what motivates your dragon, and you will be able to unleash its strength constructively.
