Too Many Thoughts...

Beginners Blog... Blogdate 01061.1


Define "Thought"... Pretty difficult really isn't it? (This is where you come up with a pretty reasonable definition on the spot and make me a dumbass!) 


Ask Google and you get many a definition, but the one that I feel most suits it is, "The action or process of thinking." However, not trying to be pedantic or anything, but surely the action or process of thinking is thinking, right? Surely, thought is just the past tense of thinking...


Well anyway, why is it you can go through the day thinking things through and brush those thoughts away as quickly as they came, but, when it comes to going to sleep, you lie there thinking through every tiny, morsel, detail of information in your head? After a busy day like the one I have had today, you'd think I'd have been asleep before midnight... but no, it's 3.24am, I've been lying in an unlit room, eyes closed, for the past 2 hours and am still feeling non the more tired than I was at 3pm yesterday!!!

My conclusion... I am thinking too much.

Starting a new job, improving my health and lifestyle, university, money and generally what I am going to do tomorrow all rush to my head the moment I want to get to sleep. I guess there is just nothing we can do about it. Although, I did read up that telling yourself to stay awake, (mentally, not physically), whilst having your eyes closed, is one way that actually helps you fall asleep... and yes, I have tried and tested it and can safely say it does not work for me. (And surely you'd figured that out too without me needing to tell you that, seeing as I am sat writing this in the early hours of the morning.) 


All I can say is, damn my thoughts! My 6am run is going to be absolutely grim... Although come to think of it (here we go again with the thoughts!) ...Taking the dog could be fun. Tubby me getting dragged around the streets by a slightly tubby, spotty, black and white, dalmatian cross collie, will sure be an amusement for any passer-by.


Well after all that spell-checking and previewing, I have 2hr11mins till my run... let's try get some sleep!


Over and Out.
