Chat rooms seem full of it...... So, one more time, let,s thank Dr Bob for the aesthetically pleasing site. Looks good so it can feel good, toooo....
back to the thread...
I have noticed since Jan 2000, that when I don't spend so much time squabbling with myself in my own head, I'm more aware of what's going on around me. If you assume that since sleep makes time go by in an instant, and daydreaming seems to cause time to pass quickly, toooo, then being in your own head is like daydreaming and the pain and suffering going byebye would be a good tradeoff for not getting things done or missing appointments, etc.That sort of reasoning frightens me! Logically you can't find any facts to support the decision, yet the reasoning seems complete. It was all done by feelings! No logic, all feelings. Then I remember that kid-reasoning sounds like that. Hmmmm.....
Anyway, as I get away from these distracting thoughts by way of my hard work toward recovery, I don't have to take so much reasoning-time trying to avoid-getting-caught doing something illogical or just bad. As I drive on 101 or the 280, I can view the surroundings and not have the news-radio station blaring in my ear.
I may actually be spending just as much time in my head thinking, because I'm getting alot more done as planning and goal setting, instead of pain and suffering avoidance. Meanwhile time travels more slowly today, and I'm not missing a thing!
