The content of my mind.

Getting out of my head is not easy. But, being in your own head is a sign that you are alive. That you have brain activity. If you were not in your own head, your brain activity would cease, and your journey to the great beyond has begun.

Instead, how about a reframe? We can be in our heads, but it becomes a matter of who is curating the content in our heads.

My mind is a non-stop cinema that shows micro-short films throughout the day. They don’t have actors, directors, or even producers; they are just scenes that show up without reason and have a definable purpose.

I go with them. I allow them to hum around and run around.

Then it is time to reign them in. First, I have to believe that it is possible to reign them in and control them. My thoughts don’t need to be just bustle and hustle of non-stop thoughts. Instead, I can take up the mantle of director and producer. Then my thoughts can begin to have order.

Decide to acknowledge that you are the content creator in your own head.
