[Yarn Harlot] Yarn Harlot: Thundersnow: That little flick on the head from the Goddess for a moment's enlightenment..and then it is back to our every day crap...That over thinking and worry thing is horrible...I think we all fight it! I use my meditation trick when I find myself doing it...very simple...just say "Thinking"...it pauses the worry and helps to change the direction...now mind you there are times I am walking in public and muttering aloud 'Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking" and it seems to be of some sort of concern to stangers around me...I suppose you could say to yourself in your head...but it can be so amusing to see the reactions of those around you and it can really change your mood even quicker!!
