Be still and know.

Use the mind, dont let it use you.

My old brain is my soul. It won’t shut up and tries to keep me hyper vigilant always looking for danger. On the edge of overdrive. My new brain is always working to tamp down what my old brain is telling me. It’s still stuck back in the time when danger was constant . Yes, it was doing its job to keep me alive, but the environment, over eons has changed and it hasn’t. Mother Nature, you created the new brain for balance, but even that brain can be limited itself by external factors, which my old brain picks up on reinforcing its purpose in life..I beg you, Mother Nature, have a talk with my old brain and tell it to chill a bit. My new brain can handle this environment that is so different than when the old dude was created.Mom, come out of hibernation and speed things up. My new brain needs a vacay so I can truly enjoy some silence for a while.

I hear you Isinatra, I have exactly the same problems…especially at night when I am trying to wind down while my mind is chattering away…

Those group chats need a soundproof room. Same old tapes running in loops. I’ve come up with a mantra that interrupts the flow. I slowly think……. “Sleepy Sheepy”. And I imagine cute little lambs floating over little fences. Been doing that for years. It actually helps.

We’ll always be besties 💕, but sometimes it gets stubborn and we have to compromise alot. I’m stuck with it anyway. There’s no trading up. 😉
