I remember when I was in environmental therapy and we had a little group talk. And group pretty much said we think a lot. Always something going on in our minds.
I remember how the nurses looked at us like they learned a new thing that made them surprised. We asked them if they don't think. If their minds aren't cluttered?
No. Of course not. They say.
We ask what they think about.
They answer they think about NOTHING.
Now I'm kind of wondering what you guys think about. These days I'm not sure my mind is as cluttered and noisy, but instead it has three things it can do. One thing is imagining. It does that a lot. I don't mind. It makes me calm. It's almost like a parallel universe that can take off from the moment and things going in a different direction in my head.
Another one these days is planning. I try to get some structure. Planning my next step.
Then there is worrying. What if something bad happens?
Of these three I spend most time daydreaming.
How about you??
