Are you preoccupied ..?

          

            Have you ever been stuck with a thought? I knew everyone of us had passed through this scenario. You'll be wishing to do something, but just because your mind is stuck, you won't be able to do anything😓. This is called a preoccupied mind. When I thought of writing about this, I thought it would be an easy topic, but it's not. 

          

            A preoccupied mind is nothing but your mind being stuck or thinking about something for a long time, making you ignore other things. Now let's see what this preoccupied mind will do.

           First, it will make you worried and anxious at random things for no reason. You get the thought, "What if I die tomorrow all of a sudden?" You know it won't happen. but you'll sit and worry. Next, as stated above, you hardly notice other things. You will be distracted from the real things. You won't be able to complete your work on time. And this will add extra pressure on you. Since your mind is already occupied, no new thoughts will pop up. This won't let your creative side grow. In my case, I won't be able to write even a single word if I'm pondering. 

           The easiest way to get rid of this is to stop thinking about it. It may sound rude or cringy, but that's the truth. Do something that makes your mind calm😊. Listen to music, meditate, talk with someone, take a walk, disconnect from your phone, connect with nature, play with your pets, etc. I'll share a link that will help you overcome your preoccupied mind. But most importantly, don't get stressed over a random thought. Let it go with the flow and live in the moment. 

        "When the mind is full of memories and preoccupied by the future, it misses the freshness of the present moment. In this way, we fail to recognize the luminous simplicity of mind that is always present behind the veils of thought. -Matthieu Ricard. "
