Day 40 of 2021-Reel it in

 Good afternoon friends! How is it going? Hope you are having a good day. So how is your week so far?

I have been totally swamped with work and there is just so much going on overall. Been feeling a little overwhelmed with everything and my thoughts are racing at such a high speed and not in the direction where I want it to go. 

I know that I have some unsettled things on my mind that need addressing. I am not sure when to bring it up and how to. Since I am feeling overwhelmed, I am intentionally leaving it alone till sometime passes to allow my feelings and emotions to settle and then find a way.

The feeling is almost like when your fishing. You swing the bait in the water and when the fish catches on you reel it back. For me its like that with my thoughts today. I need to keep reeling it back in. 

Certainly in days like this (and there are many times), I know that I have to reel my thoughts back in. Now I don't fish and never have but I have watched people fishing and always thought of trying it one day. It fits as a metaphor for my thoughts today.

I know that when my mind gets so carried away, I need to reel it back in otherwise it just controls my day and that is not what I want, especially with current thoughts. So in order to stay disciplined in my intentions, I have to watch every thing I think, say and do.

Haven't we all had days like this and now more than ever. The pandemic has been so brutal and good in a way too. Its bringing out what has been deep inside and allowing us to face it, if we are willing to. 

So I am glad to say that since my thoughts are sprinting today, I have noticed it and reeled it back every time it gets far. I have to otherwise I will be acting on it and that won't be good for me. So the point is notice where you are today and if it helps, imagine someone fishing and reel back your thoughts.

If you are working on your resolutions today and your thoughts are just all over, reel it back in my friends. Don't act on anything that would not be helpful to achieve your resolutions. Imagine just pulling it back in. You need to for now at least and then find a way to address it. 

Hope you found this helpful! Perhaps, I really need to try fishing.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace,

Monita
