Don't Think too much (day 2)

I believe that thinking is the cause of 90% of all my problems!

Speaking as someone who hasn't slept in about a week due to thinking, it truly is the worst. Your lying there in bed when all of a sudden all the problems of work, Uni and life get in your head, you start over- think and worrying and then it all gets out of control. Suddenly that deadline you need to meet becomes the end of your degree and then the end of life as we know it, or that thing you need to talk to your boss about becomes him sacking you. It's crazy the tricks your mind can play on you!

The only thing that is quite possibly worse than this is when you remember the past! By the past I don't mean that great holiday you had or the amazing times with your friends, no, I mean that time you were 10 and tripped over your own two feet and ended up with grazes all over your face which you had to go to school with where everyone saw! Yep that was me! You feel the embarrassment all over again.

And there you have it! Sleepless nights....



But I think I've figured out a couple of ways to help. First, I like to write it down. Write down everything that's stressing you and tell yourself that now you have a list, you can deal with it in the morning. Another way I find helpful is visualisation. Everything bad that comes into your mind, take a big, deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. When you breathe out imagine that your blowing all the bad thoughts out of your mind.

Hoping this helps,

Talk to you tomorrow,
