RE: Reflection: Sometimes It's Good to Have Nothing Going on in Your Head!
I'll be the first to admit that I was never very good at it ... and I suppose, according to conventional thinking, that got in the way of my "success" too, in the conventional sense too.
I could do it for a long time, which led me to consider that I was good at what I did, however today it represents a great burden for me and I feel that it does not allow me, although it sounds illogical, to exploit my full potential as a human being.
So my dear @denmarkguy, I think that at least in terms of personal growth you are a "highly successful" person.
Similarly ... when you think of something you need to do, and take care of it right away, you don't end up having to "store" it in active memory until you can plan to do it. You are present, because there is only one thing to think about.
This would be ideal, but sometimes there are so many things to do ... (I know it sounds like an excuse) but in my case it is the truth, obviously many of "those things" are born precisely because of the need that many of us experience of wanting to do a lot in a short time, living life "frantically", without stopping sometimes to take a breath or meditate a bit.
Contrary to what happens to you, it is very difficult for me to meditate (and I have tried!), My mind simply wanders and wanders, generates a thousand ideas per second and sometimes I even feel a great weight or how I feel. warms the head (as if it were a PC).
I do not know if the above should be attributed to my ADHD or that I simply still do not meet myself, but certainly reading you allows me to become aware of many of the things that I live and that I do not give myself the time to think about.
Thank you very much for your publications, greetings to Mrs. @denmarkguy
Have a great rest of your week!
