Busy Brain Handbrakes

Changing stuff for a better life

By Linda Simpson Published 3 years ago 3 min read

Today we’re going to be talking about your Busy Brain Handbrakes and how they hinder you from doing what you’d enjoy as your life.

What I call Busy Brain Handbrakes are the times when your brain is in control and it’s got you ‘running’ all over the place in your head. Of course this picture will be different for all of us but the results are much the same.

Something I’ve discovered is that the more you grow into knowing yourself, the more stealth-like the brain becomes. (smile)

Journaling for Knowledge

Busy Brains tend to throw you into Overwhelm, don’t they? And living in overwhelm is never going to be what you’d choose.

To discover more consider these points using a journal if this works for you or just go through them in your mindscape. The point is to gain a clearer picture of how you work.

• What does overwhelm feel like for you?

• How does it show up in your body?

• Do you get pressure in your shoulders?

• Does your stomach get tight?

Getting to know these clues helps you to disengage the brain and move differently.

More Thinking and Journaling

Is your tomorrow all mapped out by the time you go to bed (even before?)

Do you find yourself running over and over your schedule to make sure it’s all running to schedule?

The problem, when we find ourselves living in the uncomfortable world of Overwhelm is that there seems little room for some of the more important things like

• Magic

• Nature

• Fun

• Movement

• Joy

• Laughter

Oh, yes, we do find some of these through our busy times, but our lives would be so much richer with MORE.

We’ve allowed our brain to be in charge instead of it being the back up computer.

This is the training we’ve had, I feel, and it’s training that we need to undo to bring back a life of joyful living.

Here’s one solution

The solution is reasonably simple and complicated in the same breath. Get to know those signs of being in that fast forward moment, of being that little bit anxious and then, the very moment that you identify the cause, you (mentally or physically) do a 360 degree turn and reset back to YOU.

I promote that you create a reminder of your decision to rewire your brain on this subject. Keep a small memento in your pocket, a photo on the dashboard, a happy based magnet on the fridge.

Once you discover the most frequent time and space for your own Busy Brain Moments, then that’s the place to begin, that’s the space to plant these reminders. Then move ahead with Love and Joy.

A journal (a gift) already set up for you:

Stop Sneaky Stress : 5 Effective Ways to Reduce Anxiety and Stress.

Stress and anxiety are sneaky and we can all use some different techniques to better deal with both the storage of this stress and the ongoing freedom from it.

If you need some extra help with how to journal, how to track the things which trigger anxiety, then follow this link to a free pdf journal.

Change Alert - if you don't want anything to change in your world then don't download or use the information inside this book.

Having said that, I'm so glad you stopped by here and are looking at utilizing the Stop Sneaky Stress ebook.

The contents of this book are simplistic and aimed at growing your awareness.

I know, from personal and professional experience, that a lot of stress is obvious and often thought of as unmovable, or that it 'Just Is and there's not much I can do about it.'

Well, of course I don't agree with that which is why I'm sharing ways to lift that perspective, it's part of who I am and what I do.

The awareness generated by your application of my ideas is actually quite sneaky in its own way. The small awarenesses you grow inside are like an undercover movement and they create a ripple effect which connects you more and more to your heart journey rather than skimming along on the surface.

So I gift this book to you with LOVE and the knowledge that you will enjoy incorporating some of these joy building factors into your world PLUS see where you can LIVE your life more instead of being stuck in stress mode.

Wishing you a Beautiful Day, and sending Love Bubbles out over the airwaves. LINDA
