... Attention: I am sending myself a reminder today to maintain my footing on that peaceful and grounded place where I am standing now in my mind.
Sometimes the thoughts in my head have a life of their own, attempting to swing dance when I want them to sit still.
I don’t want to do battle with my thoughts.
I want my mind to support my overall desire to remain focused in the moment and healthful. But, my mind insists on acting like a child going through its terrible two year-old stage, dragging me this-way-and-that, thoughts banging and honking- beeping like vocal toys.
“Oh, mind,” I say, as I witness the drama. “I know you will need a nap soon.”
