Me No Take

Metaphorical Narrative

Imagine standing under a glass dome in the middle of a storm. The rain lashes down, the thunder cracks, curses whip the air like stray lightning. But none of it touches you. Every drop that hits the dome slides away, sizzling out of existence. The storm is real—but it is not yours. You stand dry, intact, untouched.

Core Insight

Cursing is never about you. It’s a leak in someone else’s nervous system, an overflow of inner pressure. The subconscious tends to internalise any harsh tone it hears, tagging it as “threat” or “judgment.” But you can cut that loop by installing a break: a clear, fast ritual that tells the brain, “Not mine. The storm stays outside.”

Saturday Experiment

When someone curses and you feel it tug at your gut, do this:

1. Whisper or think: “Me no take — their storm stays theirs.”
2. Make a small physical gesture—flick your fingers, exhale, or tap your foot once.
3. Visualise sparks hitting a shield in front of you, fizzling out.

Do it once, and notice how the unsettled feeling fades. Repeat, and your subconscious will learn: no more storage of borrowed storms.

Sunday Reflection

When you hear someone curse, what happens inside the body of the observer?
How does the shield feel once it is in place?
What would life look like if the storms of others never entered your atmosphere again?
