My Monkey Mind

Have you ever had one of those nights when your mind just keeps spinning... It can move from subject to subject, but simply won't rest? I had one of those nights last night. As it was, I went to sleep quite late and then could not sleep... What the heck? And now it is the next day and I am exhausted. I laid down for a nap, and guess what... same thing, can't sleep... lol...

Last night I had the idea of blogging instead of sleeping, so today I am taking action on that thought instead of lying there wondering why my monkey mind just won't stop today! I am accepting where I am for this moment and having fun typing these words instead of dreading my lack of sleep.

So you may be wondering what might be worthy enough to keep the monkey mind busy. I have to admit it is surprising to me how mundane some of it is.

One thought that comes is just how much I need/want to sleep... lol... and that keeps me up...

I am just rambling here a bit. I am not sure of the value of sharing this frustration that I am having, which is why I didn't blog last night. I had wanted this blog to be a place for positive reflection and sharing of ideas. Though now I realize that another aspect that I want to convey is authenticity... so here you go baby :) I am human and real... I have frustrations and times when I can't sleep... UGH! but maybe now a nap might be possible since I have shared this with you.

I am also seeing that the resolution to this, as in many things, is to take action. I realize that the reason I keep thinking about it is because my mind is figuring out what action it wants to take...

but for now... sleep
