24/03/2024

I haven't written for ages and really want to get back into it. So if you don't mind indulging me, here's my first bash:

F**k off Bob!

Did you watch Twin Peaks? Do you remember the silver-haired nuisance called Bob? (Spoiler alert, he was a bit murdery.) Well when on retreat in Ibiza a decade ago and asked to give a name to my endless intrusive negative thoughts, his was the first that sprang to mind. Described by Wiki as an “interdimensional entity who feeds on pain and sorrow”, it turns out I hit the nail bang on the head.

Like many people, my brain is breathlessly effective in presenting a whole raft of hideous considerations, often anxiety-inducing and often at 3 o’clock in the morning.

On my Ibizan retreat (well OK, the granny annexe of a friend of a friend who was into yoga + massages), my guide taught me a handy trick that lasted with me for many years. She told me to say: “f**k off Bob!” whenever he started to kill my buzz with his pesky thoughts.

This worked wonders in the past, but more recently I’ve learnt that actually, I should be thanking Bob. Turns out he’s just trying to protect me. All the negative thoughts popping up are generated by our nervous system trying to keep us safe by considering ALL the risks in any situation. From the feasible to the patently ridiculous.

The real problem comes of course when we believe those thoughts. Which, like a lot of us, I do 8 times out of 10. The “I’m no good at this”, coupled with a “this is bound to go wrong” with a side of “that person looked at me funny, they obviously HATE me”. We leap onto that thoughts train, creating stories to support them and next thing we’re in a sweat, heart hammering, rocking in a foetal position thinking there’s no point in getting up the next morning.

What the f**k, Bob?

What we need in that moment, it turns out, is just a glimmer of space, a breath, to recognise that those thoughts are not the truth. Bob’s at it again. And he’s just trying to help.

It reminds me of the story of the Buddha and the Demon God Mara
shared by psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher Tara Brach on my favourite 4am podcast.

I’m paraphrasing, but the gist is that Mara would rock up, flinging about his s**te – lust, greed, anger, doubt – trying his best to derail the Buddha’s day. After tiring of battling with him, the Buddha changed tack and invited him for a cup of tea instead. Mara obliged, then shortly after the chocolate digestives came out, got bored and wandered off.

After that, whenever Mara turned up, instead of fighting or trying to ignore him, the Buddha would simply acknowledge him and say “I see you, Mara”.

I see you, Bob.

It’s simple, but let me tell you, this s**t works. When (2 times out of 10) I manage to find that glimmer of space and jump in before Bob runs amok, I can (affectionately & gratefully) stop him in his tracks and get on with my day.

As with all skills, this is one to hone. And gradually, after perhaps the 1,275th time, I might just be able to dismiss those negative thoughts more quickly and let them pass through, no sweating or rocking required.

Thanks Bob.
