Distracted?

Sure, we all have been distracted before.

But, occasionally our focus stays on the distraction long after the
distraction is gone.

Someone cuts you off in traffic, or is rude in the grocery store...each
scenario is short, and they are in and out of our lives in less than 5 minutes.

So why do they stay in our head for the rest of the day, coloring our
every thought and action?

Answer that question correctly and you've solved the puzzle.

Do things keep going around...

And around in your head, concerning the things you have to do?

Does for me, and there it is...in the middle of the night, when I wake up, and even throughout the day.

Used to bug me, as I wasn't always in the present, which is my goal.

But what I finally realized is, that I was thinking on how to best do,
what I had to do...and it was just "cooking" and the reason I hadn't
done it is because it wasn't done "cooking".

But when it was done...it got "plated" and put on the table with ease.

So embrace the thoughts that keep swirling in your head, it's OK...you
don't want to "plate" it until it's done...ever ate undercooked chicken?

Remember when your parents...

And teachers used to gain a little control by letting you know that you
have to behave...even when they are not looking at you, because they say they have
eyes in the back of their head?

Well, we know that's not the case, because we were not born with eyes
in the back of our head.

Maybe that's because we we are supposed to look forward in our lives
and not backwards?

When we can't seem to...

Get our heads around things, it may be
because it's our head...is what gets in the way.

We think too much...which only gives us our own perspective, which is purely subjective.

Looking at our challenges from an outside perspective, or another's
viewpoint, always helps us out with clarity...looking from the "outside" and the solution is "Duh"...so simple

So if we are having a challenge, getting our heads around our
challenge...look at it from another's view...from the outside...it's so easy.

Can't put an old head...

On young shoulders.

Probably be good if we could, but just wouldn't look right.

But if we could use the mind, it would be terrific...Thinking what we
know at a younger age - maybe we could of have had a lot better time??
But we can't, and it would really spoil the amazing things we
could experience for the first time...with our eyes - wide open.

So simply understanding that living our life the way we do, we need to
get lessons, bumps and bruises along the way - in order to get a wiser,
more experienced "head" which grows right along with the "shoulders".
