After devising a (supposedly) perfect plan in self-management, kicking the garbage out of the brain, and attaining (presumably) peak condition, I feel like superman. But soon, there comes a time when my mind feels compelled to wander around for problems to dwell on.
It is a strange situation. The mind, which should ideally find ways to rid itself of stress and excess burden runs eagerly to look for more.
It tries to retrieve the wrong things, from the wrong places. It’s like the head is addicted to inflecting self-hurt.
It’s akin to a fly lingering around the consciousness- that doesn’t let me focus.
I don’t know if it happens to just me or it’s an issue pestering others too.
It’s a dysfunction, and should be recognized as such (by my wits, first and foremost) ; and it should be duly booted out.
If I unearth the nature of this behavior, why it happens and how it is triggered, it may be possible for me to kick its butt.
How do I tell my mind to avoid remembering back the setbacks, and to refrain from pondering over the roadblocks ahead? How to inform the grey matter about the futility and stupidity of the said act?
There is a possibility my mind thinks it ought to remember all the details (of past events and future possibilities). It believes that not being conscious of them will somehow harm me…… …….
………..which is an inherently wrong assumption. Concentrating on the current moment is the most efficient way to live. Maximizing the efficiency of every minute I have at my disposal is the best gift I can bestow upon myself.
The fly should be swatted just as it makes an entry into my headspace. It should be crushed swiftly and fatally.
