Sometimes I find that my brain will not shut down. Which is terrible and causes me to stay up late at night, and even though I am completely exhausted, my brain refuses to let me go to sleep. Years ago I would stay up because I was a complete night owl. I just slept most of the morning and stayed up as late as possible.
Then in my late twenties, I would be up late because I was worried about everything. Even the smallest thing would make me pace the floor. I was in my twenties trying to solve the universes problems, with no instruction booklet. Of course, I am older now and I know that it was never as dire as it felt.
Worrying is something that we all do at some point. It is distracting and will cause you grief. It is better to be honest with yourself and face your problems. Coming up with complete and manageable goals will not only be helpful but it will give you clarity. We all need to see things clearly, our sleep depends on it.
We all do things differently, but we all worry in the exact same way. Moving forward, no matter how small you move, gives your brain something to chew on. A little chew toy to keep your brain occupied.
I will write everything down (mostly because my memory is terrible) to have a template to what needs to be addressed. And then I will do something off the list. It doesn't work all the time, but it is a start.
In 1988 a songwriter by the name of Robert J McFerrin wrote a little ditty, that either drove your crazy or possessed your brain for a while as an ear worm. You will find that song here. I recommend you listen to it, even just for a moment. :)
