Sometimes my mind, my thoughts are darting everywhere in my head. I've been reading various books on mental health. I'm going to listen to "Don't Believe Everything You Think" on my long flight. I'm better understanding the concept of being "present". That means not being lost in thought about what happened, or what could have happened, or how I could have handled a situation better. Thinking about the now....what's going on right now around me. How can you enjoy life if you are not present?
The mental health books are often long and I question the relevance of a lot of it. But periodically I come across a nugget of wisdom that really helps me.
This trip will get my mind focused. I won't be thinking of other useless stuff. It's hard not to be present when you have to navigate a new and foreign place.
Three weeks will likely fly by.
