We get stressed. We have too many responsibilities. Too many things to ponder. Our mind gets pulled in more and more directions and all at once. We find ourselves performing ever shallower analysis on our projects. We shun contact with the people around us. No time.
Our brain’s ability to function decreases all the time. We have forgotten there’s no “function” without “fun.” Of course, we also can’t “function” without “ction,” but that’s a subject for a future blog.
Anyway, our minds cry to the heavens for some rest, some time off to recalibrate.
How do we do that? As they say in internet technology, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
We will turn off our minds. We’ll do that by thinking of nothing. Nothing. Like what is shown in the rectangle below. Look inside it.
Nothing
If you still have troubling clearing your mind, try again while chanting, “Iggy piggy poo” over and again. You’ll be amazed how much more revitalized you will feel.
