The mind is incredible

The mind is an incredible thing. I have always been in awe of how the brain works. I find it amazing that your mind is always thinking. Well mine is anyhow. I've heard that men can literally sit and not think of a single thing. That would come in handy sometimes. LOL. I always find my mind wandering somewhere.

I like how we can concentrate on one thing but be conscious of another. I can read a book while singing along to the radio. God was a smart cookie to make us capable of that.
It's too bad that I can't ever concentrate on the important things in life, like reading the Bible and worshiping. I find it easy to concentrate on a good movie. We were watching The Heart Break Kid on lunch yesterday and I was so engulfed in the movie that when and a tomato fell out of my sub it made me jump about a half a mile. (or at least that is what it felt like to me, no one around me seemed to react so it probably was 2 centimeters.)

The other day Dale was saying how he couldn't sleep the night before how he was just thinking of things. Moments later while helping a customer I was thinking about this and how I think the mind works most efficiently just before bed. Back to helping the customer, because I was thinking of sleeping I told the lady to have a nice night it wasn't even lunch yet. LOL.
I do think the mind works its hardest just before bed, that's why you should read your Bible or study before bed so that you remember it.
SCRATCH THAT!
Well, I just researched it, and I no longer think the mind is working its ass off before bed. I now believe that on days when you want to sleep and can't its because you ate heavy foods, listened to loud music, watched a horror movie or something like that, before bed. These things keep your mind alert and intrigued.

Don't over think things! The mind will make you get carried away.

Getting over things 101
This morning I was saying how I was upset about my over reacting friend, so I'll tell you how I got over it.

First: I poured my thoughts out to everyone so I could hear their point of view. By the way, they all agree with me that she was being silly. Venting helped!

Second: Don't be alone, you tend to dwell on things then. I was working in golf today and I was getting so bummed. I constantly find myself dwelling on the fact that I'm still single. When this does happen I have decided to tell myself this: "You are a catch the guys that you have showed interest in are just blind." So, change your thought pattern. People also help lighten the mood. It was easy to joke around with people today.

Thirdly: Remember that everyone is human and they make mistakes, not everyone can bite their tongue.

Now my mind is saying it's bed time.
Good Night!
I wonder what my incredible mind will have me blog about next.
stay tuned. lol
