Regardless of what you call it, an overactive brain can be frustrating, to say the least. I fight it constantly, and considering the work that I do, it c an be detrimental to the energy flow in one of my sessions.
I know myself well enough to recognize the days when the monkey mind will strike. It’s usually when daily, common realities rear their ugly heads. A good example, given the time of the year, is taxes.
As one who believes in accepting all the prosperity and abundance that comes my way, I had a great year financially. The best ever. And while the abundant energy continues to flow, I have to pay the piper his due, meaning Uncle Sam. There goes the savings account,,,again.
So, the furry little primates that inhabit the inside of my skull are having a feeding frenzy. I can tell you truthfully, it’s not a pretty sight.
How do I control the little guys from taking over my life? By giving them all the fodder they want and then shutting them into a back room of my subconscious.
“Why, that’s not productive to personal growth!” you say, and I agree, but only for the present moment.
I am busy enough in my healing practice that I have to put the monkey mind aside and deal with it during my personal time when I know I won’t be disturbed. Then I can face the issue(s) bothering me and put the little guys to bed. Until the next time.
The gist of this post is to say that there is always a way to deal with the worries that reside within us. There are ways to acknowledge the overactive thoughts, calm them, and move ahead. A person has to find what works best for themselves, and to know it takes practice to achieve the calmness and clarity we all can desire.
I have a free day this weekend, and I know how I will spend it. Calming my monkey mind.
