Care if I tell on myself?
My mind has been on overload lately. One friend is dealing with personal issues. Two friends have loved ones who are ill. And I have my own problems. But don’t we all?
I don’t know where the line is regarding how much I can process at once, but I know I crossed it the other day when I got into my car and backed into the garage door (yes, while it was still down).
If my mind is on overload, staying in the present moment is a huge battle for me. I imagine that is just part of the human condition. We allow the cares and concerns of this world to overwhelm us.
Not to sound like a corporate tech guy but what I’m really trying to describe is my mindset when I have maxed out my bandwidth and cannot process new information. As a result, I back into garage doors.
Well, not routinely, anyway. It’s the first time I’ve ever done that. But you know what I mean. I look at my mail and don’t really see it. I might get an email or a text, and not really see that either. That sort of thing.
Why don’t I take my own advice and slow down and live deeper? I can only say that all of us need to go back to the basics sometimes and preach them to ourselves over and over again. So I have been doing a lot of that lately.
