In space, astronauts cannot cry because there is no gravity and tears can't flow.

Thinking about the term 'Space Cadet,' which I highly desire to be for at least a portion of the day. I found some interesting funny facts to take my mind off my work here. Simplicity is an immaculate art. I literally envy people who have no thoughts. I'm getting there, but I still find myself having a daily struggle where I start with one thought and then I get a little side tracked and the thought about combing my bangs turns into madness. I am getting better though because I am able to identify when the sidetracking happens.

A huge realization I had today in the car was that my most prone time to overthink is when I'm driving. Why? Well first I worry about people looking at me, then I realize that I have to be somewhat alert to pay attention to the road (as much as I overthink it is truly a miracle that I maintain a good driving record) --> see positive thinking there <-- also see sidetracked mind there. But anywho yes when I am driving on the Thruway especially I feel like I have no choice but to think about things. I don't think about my work at all, or what needs to be done around the house, but I think about people, friends, family, etc. I wonder why these innately random thoughts strike when I'm driving on the Thruway.

I just answered my own question. I feel the pressure of having to respond to them, lol. It strikes me when I'm driving. And then in my head it's like "okay have to text back Ally about the thing and then bla bla bla." And it just goes on and on. Okay crisis averted. I know the problem and knowledge protects so I am going to solve it. To avoid over worrying about responding to my friends and family I will _________. A) Get mad and just be a raging bitch for the rest of the day for no apparent reason lol B) Blare death metal so I can tune out the thoughts or C) Control my mind and drive the damn car, if I get sidetracked I can repeat option C - as many times as I need to. Option A is out because I literally have changed my attitude so many times because of this stupid text messaging digital era bullshit (I clearly don't like it). I like to see faces and talk to them, I don't like the ease of a digital communication, unless it's money to my bank account. Option B, I've tried this many times - especially when I'm stressed the most, but all it does for me is make things worse. I think about how angry/sad/unhappy I am and all the things that are piling up against me. I am aware that the latter is clearly a form of fear and worry and rather than letting Option B change my mood/aura/vibe I am going to stick with Option C.

I thoroughly enjoy this.

Slowing Down Can Help Avoid Creating a Disaster - Rage

Every decision you make could be made from either somewhere in the knee- jerk realm of your unconscious or with the unmitigated, laser-focused precision of the present moment. Yes. Every. Single. Decision. I’m talking about from the pants you choose, to the socks you select, to the choice to sit or stand while putting that stuff on. Yes, you even have the option to greet the mail lady who is delivering yet a certified letter from the Tax Man in full-on, bat-shit rage mode or not. I understand, full-on, bat-shit rage mode doesn’t feel like a choice. But I have learned, or rather with effort, retrained my knowing that I can choose. As I said in my last article (thank you, Community, for your encouragement BTW!), when I have hit my limit of victim thinking that I am at the mercy of assholes, I realize I am not at mercy of anyone! I am only making the choice to listen to the voice of anxiety and not the grounded one of my empowered self. This means that no one, not my boss, not the...

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back. How? Control the things you can control. M y ex had me going insane. Constantly cancelling on his visitations with our son, cherry picking when he would see him, etc. And people at work kept pinging me asking ‘When.’ I had orders coming in for Amazon because I bought them when I was feeling anxious, but when they got to the house I became even more anxious because I forgot why I bought them. I haven’t made enough time in my day to sit down and go through my to-do list. This makes me crazy. I would end up with a million items on the list, but never mark them complete. I was so anxious at the lake that I couldn’t feel my legs, I collapsed.    There were external factors- the ragweed in the air fucks with my allergies. I only feel this way in September . I feel like I Can’t breathe – I took the Benadryl to...
