Some days my mind automatically slows down and refocuses my attention by only focusing on one thing at a time. This morning, I didn’t feel like listening to a podcast or music while getting ready for work like I normally do. Instead, I just focused on brushing my teeth, washing my face, making coffee and a bagel, getting dressed, eating breakfast. Without the distraction of music, a podcast, even my phone near me. I left my phone to continue charging the entire morning. And I feel grounded. It wasn’t something I had to force myself to do, I just felt like doing it. It’s odd to break out of my normal habits suddenly just because I don’t feel like it. It’s intriguing. Maybe my mind has some internal trigger that sets this mechanism when I am about to be overloaded. Whatever it is, I enjoy this feeling of being grounded and at peace, similar to the zen obtained from meditation. I wonder how long this feeling will last today.
