It Feels Like I Have a Hamster Wheel Spinning In My Brain.

There are things I cannot do and so my hamster wheel starts to go faster and faster and faster! Hush Busy Hamster! Please Stop Running So Quickly!

STOP!

My brain is overloaded today. I have so much to do, and so much waiting too. I can imagine the plan. I can see the end result. There are things I cannot do and so my hamster wheel starts to go faster and faster and faster!

WAIT!

Waiting is hard for me. Planning and waiting. Waiting and planning. Timelines don’t align and so I wait. There are things I can do while I wait, so I do those things. Waiting is so distracting. Waiting feels wasteful. Waiting is filled with unfulfilled dreams. Waiting wastes and saves me money. It’s so confusing.

SLOW DOWN!

It’s good to wait until it’s time. I can slow down and write more. I can clean and make more lists. I can breathe and enjoy my family. I can be grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life. I am so very grateful I have a brain that thinks and learns and loves to work!

REMEMBER!

I can remember what it was like when I’ve had to do this before. I can remember what I learned from the past so I repeat what worked and not repeat what didn’t work. I can ponder and mull over what matters most.

PREPARE!

I can get things ready and I can leave some things undone. I can sort things down to the core of what is needed. I can plan and dream. The more I plan, the better I get at narrowing down the important steps so I’m ready. I get to prepare by figuring out what worries me most, what worries me the least and what can be done and not done. I can sort and clean my work areas so I work more efficiently. I can work on other things while waiting. I can get ready. This part is so difficult for me. The preparation work is so important and yet it feels so tedious, like a slow draining pipe. I just want to unclog the pipe and make it work! But it’s not time.

REST!

Writing until everything is out of my brain feels so good! I feel freed from the burden! My brain can run the thoughts onto the page and then finally slow down for a rest. My hamster can rest while I focus on something I can control. Something that brings me to a place where I can start accomplishing what I wrote down and work my dream into reality.

RUN HAMSTER, RUN!

Then my hamster will start to run again! I will have more to write! I will accomplish what is important. I need to keep my brain running at an even pace so I can function and feel good. I enjoy the hamster running. My brain is amazing!
