Sometimes the mind feels like a room with too many voices all talking at once.
Plans worries memories questions about things that might never happen.
You try to quiet them but the more you push the louder they get.
It is strange how much energy thinking can take when it never stops.
We live in a world that rewards busy minds.
You are praised for being productive for planning ahead for thinking of every possible outcome.
But no one really teaches you how to rest your thoughts.
How to step back and remember that thinking is only a tool not your entire being.
When you let your thoughts slow down even a little you notice how heavy they were.
You start to feel what silence actually sounds like It is not empty it is soft.
There is a kind of relief in realizing you do not have to solve everything in one night or one lifetime.
The pause between thoughts becomes a space where you can breathe again.
It reminds you that behind all that noise there is a quieter version of you.
The one that just wants to exist without analyzing without judging.
Sometimes you only find that version of yourself when you stop trying to think your way to peace.
Peace is not an answer it is a feeling.
It comes when you let go of control and allow life to be a little uncertain.
When you accept that you will not always understand why things happen
The mind finally begins to rest and for a moment you feel light again.
