Micromanagement of self - emotional asphyxiation

How tiring are our brains with the constant supervising of every activity and action we take, judging everything as good, bad, right or wrong. It's exhausting and yet we seem unable to stop our brains from keeping score and comparing ourselves to everything and everyone out there. Seriously! We're worried about what's already happened and we're planning for the future or worrying about what could go wrong... and then there's the never ending to do list! We're driving ourselves crazy Lol;) Why do we do this and why are we not able to shut it down, even when we want to??

Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now and A New Earth) would say that we need to spend more time focusing on the moment. Apparently, if we're in the moment and paying particular attention to what we're doing, we won't be worrying about what's already happened and what may go wrong in the future. We should also be happier and more successful in everything we do because our complete attention will be on what is directly in front of us. The treadmill should slow, freeing up much energy and giving us the capacity for more positivity, patience and compassion for ourselves and others. Hell, if our partner or boss was treating us in this way, we'd be gone, Lol! So, we should definitely be nicer to ourselves and put the worries aside once in a while. Just sayin;) Hugs.
