We can spend days thinking about the same thing. Going over the same sentences again and again. What we should have said. What we should have done. What the other person is going to do. What if...
We read the message one more time. We replay the conversation in our heads. We try to put the pieces of the puzzle together, hoping that this time we’ll finally notice the detail we missed before.
We don’t even realize that we’re going round in the same circles again.
The human mind is strange. The harder we try to understand something, the narrower our focus becomes.
All we can see is what we want to get rid of. We no longer see the possibilities.
And then...
We go for a walk. We drive somewhere. We do the shopping. We take a shower. We drink our morning coffee.
And suddenly, everything falls into place.
The situation is the same. The facts are the same. And yet, we see everything differently.
And somehow, it resolves itself...
There’s something I’m curious about.
Where do you retreat to after a difficult day?
A path through the woods? The garden? The terrace? Your car? The shower? A cup of coffee in the quiet?
Where does calm find you again?
