Thursday Two Questions #42

-

This photo is actually a flower that I tweaked into a puzzle form. It pretty much depicts my mind and brain right now. I've got so much going on that I did not even have time to think of something creative for the two ?'s meme. So, I will just ask all of you:

1. Are your mind and brain sometimes so much on overdrive that you cannot think straight?

2. If so, what do you do to remedy the problem?

hmmm, mine is a case of being distracted sometimes, once i start to fool around or lazy around like entertaining distractions, it is hard for me to go re-focus.

HELLO - definitely yes to #1! When that happens I try to laugh at myself and chill - go do a completely different activity or go to a different environment for just a few minutes - that usually does the trick. Also, closing my eyes and breathing slowly and deeply in and out really does work.

1- definitely yes
2- I try to find quiet... Going for a walk with my camera often helps, if that's possible. And I pray, laying the jumble before God, asking Him to help.

Yes, my mind looks just like that. :-) I take a moment with God looking at His handiwork and speaking to Him.

Your new header is awesome!!

Yes! Especially when I have so many things to do and things to think about. To shut down for the night, I take a warm shower and try not to have caffeine within 3 hours of going to bed. Exercising has helped a lot. Find music you love, and that makes it easier. :)

Q1: Yes. There's often too much going on for me to focus properly on one thing.

Q2: I make a list and work through everything one-by-one in my own time :-)

1) Yes, my mind is often in a tangled mess. I know when it happens because I don't have ideas or solutions for anything. This leads me to realize I can't live without solutions.
2) When this happens, I go through the list of things on mind. I write them down - most times I have to, to get it off my mind so that I can focus. Then I go back to each issue and figure out their prioritization. It is my only way to settle things.

Oh yes, this past week my mind was all cramped up with so many things going on right now, and then at night, I can't even sleep.

I find going out to nature and start taking pictures really help me calmed down.

That photo is a good example of how my brain looked after this past weekend. I seem to bite off more than I can chew a lot lately, it does take it's toll eventually.

Usually a walk at the park with a visit to the aviary will relax me. This week a good session of yard work did the trick.

My kids can sometimes put my mind on overdrive along with everything else to do. I usually ask them to be quiet for a few minutes and I re-arrange my thoughts so that I settle down and prioritize before going into panic/hysteria.

Or I just go to the bathroom.

And other times I just turn the music on. If I'm singing I'm not overthinking. :)

1) Lately I try not to do too much at once. One thing at a time and leave room for recovery. :-)
2) I have to "accept" that I can't do everything and too much, otherwise my health will suffer.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
