God, I hate when I get like this.

Can't think my way out of it.

1. Sometimes thinking won't help, mac56....
Edited on Wed Jul-06-05 08:08 AM by DemExpat
This is when learning simple meditation techniques helps.

Sit quietly and perhaps focus on your breathing for awhile....letting thoughts drift in and out of your mind without trying to control, banish OR latch onto them......you can even visualize them as clouds floating by....

This exercise taught me how letting go of (ego) control solves a lot of problems and mental health suffering.
