Your mind is out of control. Stop thinking. You can't think your way out of this

So glad I posted on here again....I was suffering alone for weeks, feeling small, feeling lost, feeling sad, beating myself up. Thanks Gerda ...your words have refreshed me and have also reminded me how often I need to hear the same thing over and over again. This is frustrating to me but it’s where I am at so I have to let that go.
It’s like the mind knows it but the brain still can’t compute it.

Yes this! I’ve lost site of this with The mind swirls and being so busy at work...which has its own struggles right now too...I’m terrified of restructuring and just trying not to focus on that...I recently applied for another job but didn’t get past the first stage. Which I’m mostly ok with because I really do love where I am and leaving isn’t my first choice. It’s just another suspenseful situation...I think the mind can only handle so much suspense...lol! I def need to REFOCUS
I had a great day yesterday - baked and made all kinds of yummies from the garden. And put together a really nice basket for a friend. I’m also taking pictures again and getting back to my main hobby and side business. This is proof that focusing on me works way better ...just hard to do sometimes with H stomping around in your face.
The headphones are a GREAT idea ...I love that you took that from H ...I so remember you writing about that!, love it.
Opps forgot Cardinal - the garden is amazing right now....so many tomatoes, zucchini, herbs - but most importantly I’ve taken to making mojitos using the mint from my garden....Yum but yikes...def need to do in moderation they are soooo good.
Thank you both for helping with my re-entry to focusing on me! (Hugs)Xo
