I am having difficulties with my thoughts today.

As I wrote that I thought, “If I stop telling myself that I’m having difficulties with my thoughts today, then maybe I wouldn’t be having them.”

I have a handful of things I want to work on today, and my thoughts are scattered trying to fit all of them into my brain. But I know that there should only be a couple of priorities that I focus on today. With that said, my decision making should be made easier. I let go of the non-priorities and let them exit my brain, making room for what I need to focus on.

I’ve locked myself inside all day, and I just heard that it’s warm and sunny outside. So, I think I need to step away from this computer and allow my mind and body to reunite.

Also, I’ll start telling myself, “Yes. Yes. Yes. You can. You can. You can,” instead of a barrage of negative thoughts.
