I’ve been having one of those weeks, well, more like, months, where I literally want to strangle my mind. It. Wont. Stop.

I’m literally JUST opening my eyes at 7:30 AM, and Mind is like, “hayy hayyyy! blah blah blah blahhh. I’m So annoying”..

I’m in child’s pose, and Mind is anxiously scurrying through a list of emails I have to respond to, and reminders to wash that dark load of laundry, which contains ALL of my workout clothes at this point…

I’m trying to write this post, and whaddya know.. Mind is all like, “what are you making for dinner? did you ever get the mail? OMG you left your wallet in the car. Feed Mimi & Eloise! Plan that trip to Canada! What do you want for your birthday (in June)..”.. Like seriously, Mind, Shut the F*CK up!

ugh.

I tell myself to slow down and take a moment.. I tell myself to pause… I tell myself to enjoy what it is that’s happening during each instant and not to live too much in my useless thoughts.. but it doesn’t work.

Ok.. I promise I’m not going insane. I’m just totally.. distracted?

So, this morning, after my yoga class, I began to wonder what it was going to take to settle my mind. Would it be it something someone would say to me, something I would realize.. Would I snap out of it?

Well, it still hasn’t “happened” yet. I’m still experiencing a totally racing mind, but I just bumped into this image, and it made me laugh. I had an unexpected moment of living with what was actually in front of my face, as apposed to what was happening in my brain..

Who knew.. an image of some sassy chic in a black tee reading, “BITCH, RELAX”, would provide a moment of clarity and weightlessness for me…. but it did.

So there you have it.
