The Cure for a Speeding Mind
When you look outside
And watch the clouds.
They show us how fast or slow
The outdoor environment is moving.
Do you ever think
About how fast and slow your mind is whirling?
If you were to describe your mind as clouds,
How fast and slow would your clouds be going?
The speed of our mind can impact on our choices and actions.
And the quality of what we are doing.
When we allow ourselves to pause and pace ourselves
Is when we can be the most effective.
As we don’t feel under pressure
As our mind is broad and in a position to build*
So one option
Rather than watch them
Have a go at getting outside
As
Walking or standing outside
Allows us to pace ourselves.
As you get outside
How did you manage to slow your mind
So the pace of your own clouds
Allowed you to make the best choices.
