Imagine your experience as a finger drawing its way across an Etch A Sketch screen — each moment, a new line. You’re not planning the picture; you’re just tracing the contours of your life as it unfolds: conversations, sensations, thoughts, feelings. All of it makes its way onto the screen.
Sometimes the lines are simple — a walk, a smile, the feeling of your feet on the floor.
Other times, it gets complicated. A sharp comment. A memory. A spiral of thoughts that starts twisting into the gut, drawing itself into the body before you even notice.
And then — something inside wakes up.
So what do you do?
You realize: this picture isn’t working anymore. The drawing has tangled into a pattern of tension, fear, or frustration. You didn’t mean to draw it. But here it is.
You stop.
You flip it over.
You shake.
The whole picture vanishes.
Not the story of your life — just the lines of reactivity that were starting to define this moment. Now you have a fresh screen.
And on this blank surface, you can start again.
But here’s the upgrade: maybe you choose a background image from your internal jukebox — a favorite memory, a felt sense of joy, calm, or connection. Let that soft image sit beneath the screen. Now, as you trace your present moment, you’re drawing it over the warm impression of peace.
And if the lines start racing again — too fast to follow, too jagged to hold — you know what to do.
Stop.
Flip.
Shake.
Start fresh. Again.
Every moment is a chance to redraw.
