My mind tends to teeter between past regrets and the potential of the future. It’s easy for me to get tangled.
Vivid mental scenes arise out of seemingly nowhere — moments where I question both my actions and choices of inaction. Like somehow, if I think about it a bit more, I can change what occurred.
At times it feels like a message I’m supposed to pay attention to — a ghost whispering a vital lesson I missed. And yet, when I pause to listen, the result is typically judgment or anxiety.
I should on myself. Should have said something kinder. Should have prioritized my time. Should have saved more money.
This is what happens in my monkey mind, in my lizard brain. Parts of the oldest but not necessarily wisest members of the cranial tribe. They are feisty ones. Making a ruckus and luring me into a rabbit hole, completing the animal farm.
In the words of the great RBG, “Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.”
In times when my mind is frequently remiss, may my heart always remember this simple truth.
