What’s going on in that mind of yours? If you’re normal, it can seem like a very busy place.
In the early morning the mind may feel clear and super sharp.
By mid morning, after a few life inputs . . . lots of traffic on the way to a meeting, news of another unsettling world event, and a call from a dissatisfied customer
. . . your mind may be racing.
After an uplifting lunch with a friend, your mind may feel calmer, even as some of the anxiety from the morning remains.
By mid afternoon, there are more inputs. As you drive home, you may feel the desire to settle your mind.
But the day isn’t over. Once you’re home, kids and their busy lives may bring phase two of your day. Or, maybe it’s a time to unwind and allow your mind to begin settling.
Now off to bed . . . the mind may light back up. All of that day’s activity replaying in addition to thoughts about tomorrow.
Your day may or may not be like this. Either way, you have your version of it. The mind, when you pay close attention, is always present and impacts both your energy and how you show up in life.
Spending time in meditation, prayer, journaling, or contemplation gives you an opportunity to become consciously aware of that busy mind of yours.
With greater awareness, you can interrupt the unhealthy patterns that arise, shift your energy, and show up with compassion.
