One Apple A Day #927 - reset
This morning I can't quiet my mind.
Too many things going on, too many thoughts fighting for my attention.
So, I've decided to let the white page do the work.
It is a unique feeling. Typing a word on the keyboard, not knowing what will be the next one. Right now, I still have no idea what this post will be about. I just keep typing, trusting that something will come out.
And to be honest, this morning, it doesn't matter where I will be at the end, what will be the outcome. Maybe it will be entirely meaningless for you and even for me. What really matters in moments like this is to keep moving forward.
One word at a time.
Isn't it something that also happens in life?
Some times we are confused or overwhelmed by what's going on in our life. Our attention is stretched between many things. We keep going through a to-do list so long that we can discern what we want or have to do anymore.
It's a paralyzing feeling that short-circuits our brain.
Those are the moment when I reset.
I open a new blank page, and I begin to write.
I let the hands do the work.
One word at a time.
It always works.
After a while, my mind regains peace and clarity.
Most of the time, in the end, I know what to do.
