One thing that I find I am doing is Thinking too much. Over thinking things. One of my most recent experiences with this phenomenum goes as follows;

My Husband and I were driving on the Highway and we passed a truck that had FOREMAN BROS. written on the side.

Next thought - That 70's show. Eric Foreman
next thought - Danny Masterson plays Steven Hyde
next thought- Danny Masterson look and acts a lot like Jack Black
next thought- Jack Black gets a lot of movie roles and Walk on's on other shows.
next thought- Danny Masterson Could do the same too.
next thought- Any roles that were meant for Jack Black could be played by Danny Masterson
next thought- I wonder why Danny Masterson hasn't gotten any movie deals?

Finally, What the Hell did any of those thoughts have to do with me or my current situation ? Why would I even care what Danny Masterson and Jack Black are up to? Why would I give a flipping care?


Geez, Overthinking again.

Linderful,

You have brought a smile to my face.

Yes, these racing thoughts can drive us absolutely mad at times!

Personally, I'm attempting to practice meditation to shut myself the heck up.

JJ

roflmfao........Linda....lol. Let me tell ya something here. I am a practicing spiritualist and have meditated for years and years. I used to be able to go from racing thoughts to bang out relaxation in thirty seconds flat. Now..............I go into meditation and this is the dialogue that goes on in my head:

Breathe......count one, two, "did I lock the door?" shhhh Jade.......count......three, four........"maybe I didnt???". Stop it Jade.....you must relax.........five, six......"did I pee?" LMAO. Linda.......if you can figure out a way to get to meditation please let me know.....................this is the most frustrating time of my life................*smiles*.

Jadie

whoops......meant that last message for JJ....not Linda...........sorry!!

So Jadie;

What am I? Chopped Liver? Snork

Now you're going to get me going on another uncontrollable OCD thought chain.

Linderful

You ladies crack me up!

Patrice

OMG! Snork!!! How in the heck did you even remember the thoughts... is what amazes me..half the time I cant even remember what I was going to say next let alone what were some of my fleein thoughts were!!!! LOL!!!

I remembered them because I told my husband as we were driving. I tracked them back from the final thought. So that's how I remember them. Start with the last and work your way back to the first.

Linderful

You women are cracking me up ... I'm guilty of those racing thoughts too - and how I start w/the thoughts and how it ends amazes me..glad to know I'm not the only one who does that stuff.

Blessings,
Stacy

LMAO>>>>>>>>ya know what I meant.......chopped liver huh? with onions? without? how much is the fat content? too much protein or not enough? will protein make me grow more facial hair? baby or beef? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............ROFLMFAO. Its okay Linda.........I havent forgot who started this thread in the first place............its all your fault!! ha ha ha

Jadie

Liver with Bacon Please... and lots and lots of Gravy on the Creamy, Buttery Mashed Potatoes and Thick sliced WHITE Bread with gobs and gobs of fresh creamery butter. YUMMMMM.

I can feel my arteries hardening just thinking about it.

Linderful

I think you should leave off the onions though! There's too much gas around this place already!

heehee

Snork how ya remember the last friggin thought???!!! hee hee

MrsBeasley! LMAO, aint that the truth!! hahahahahaha

Hi Pookie;

I catch it when I realize what a stupid thought it is and how little it matters to me. I then develope a sense of curiosity and try to track it back to the original thought. It works. But you would be surprised at some of the strange things that come into your head.

Snork

I call it Off on Tangents thinking. I do it all the time, especially when I most want to concentrate on one thought. I'll start to have my prayer time with my list in front of me to remind my pea brain who/what I need to pray for. Next thing I know, 15 minutes have gone by and I have come back to reality with a strange unconnected thought and I'm not even sure I prayed for what I was supposed to. Kinda frustrating! Makes me wonder how I'll ever learn new skills at whatever new job I get. <_<
