No sleep for the loud thoughts
Being an over thinker is rough. There’s never a day where my mind is silent. Sleeping is nearly impossible when it gets bad. When things are wrong in my head I can lay in my bed with eyes closed and be still and mimic sleep but never get it. Last night was one of those nights. Everything is swirling in my brain a million miles an hour.
I’ve been trying to relax for a week but so far not much luck.
On another note, my daughter got to go back to school today. Her and her 4 classmates that were ” close contacts” have been online with some of the other kids that either didn’t pass the health check or either have or someone in their houses have Covid. My husband traveled for a funeral last week and came home and got tested and actually somehow managed to avoid getting it. Hopefully we can continue to streak if not getting it.
Any herbal supplements to quiet down an overactive brain? I’m losing it here. 😳
Valerian root, kava, ashwagandha, passionflower, turmeric

I recently wrote why I overthink.
Life demands it we assert. To process every frame to find the meaning the humor the sadness the kind way the hard way the mean way easier to find these ways in our imagination than in the real world.
Process the data we got we can change.
Overthinking is a turbo boost and a ram upgrade. Ride the wave.
Raise the valence shell of your awareness and find calm thru internal distance. Not numbness. Not forget.
It just repeats if we don’t learn. It is why magic is a cheat code.

I so know what you mean and I agree, it is hard, if I didn’t have my sleeping pill I’d never sleep. Â I hope your luck without getting covid continues.
