I think for some people getting to a place where they can just act without thinking too much about things is circumstantial, its about being in the right environment, maybe having a girlfriend to keep you in check, having something in your life that your wholly devoted to and interested in, feeling safe, secure, unthreatened. Then some people are just destined to be crazy their whole lives no matter what situation, I get it from my mother. Everything you say makes perfect sense by the way. EDIT: And some people are just stupid, which is lucky for them.
when I am able to do something unfettered, I have all the supplies before me, and no reason to stop, I will continue doing it until there is a reason not to. I think that may be similar to that which you are speaking of, in a very crosswired metaphorical way
I used to have a lot of problems with phrases repeating themselves uncontrollably in my head, time lapses and a general inability to think at all, but this has left me recently, thank god. Its very frightening when your control systems shut down.
ahahahaha damn....i think about whatever is in my head at the moment...i don`t remember everything i think about. is there such thing as general thinking ?
it changes all the time. if i'm doing mindless tasks at work i'll think about my friends and places I want to go and people I want to see and things I want to do. And I think about the mountains a lot. and I get songs stuck in my head all the time, sometimes only one phrase from a song, and that kind of sucks, repeating the same line over and over in your head. ugh. and then lately i've been kind of lost and sometimes get stuck thinking only about negative things like what's wrong with my life and just thinking in loops. but usually i am a happy-go-lucky person and I just think about how everything is awesome and i'm glad that it exists.
I am stuck in a perpetual loop of thinking about my thinking. I am always thinking about or analyzing myself, and then I analyze that thought. Its constant. Thats why for me, I have to do my best to be mindful in the moment and to put my energy into what I am doing. My mind will drive me CRAZY!
I have learned to shut my internal dialogue off and stay focused at the task at hand. I think about nothing, then I think about thinking about nothing.
It depends. If something big just happened such as the letter from the Uni, or I'm just about to do something quite big for me/something which scares me such as workexp. or giving a presentation then my mind will be focused on that. If I develop a crush on someone, I will probably think about them alot. But, if none of these happen, like today for example, I'll either think about whatever it is I'm doing. E.g Tech work. Or I'll fantasize about something, anything... I'll think about the future. I'll think about comedy and jokes etc. I'll think about work I need to do. I'll think about scenarios. I'll pscho-analyse, analyse different things. And sometimes ideas just pop into my head which i also think about. I've probably missed something but eh..
make up songs and sing them out loud and they just sound horrible except when i a tAKe stuff out of the garden i wonder why roots are built like that and other stuff like is a carrot a root an orange root
i usually get a tune in my head and whistle, which is apparently an annoying habit but yea like if something shit has happened or im worried about sumthing i tell to mull that over, if im just ok its the whistling.
keep the mind open and take in as much as i can. try stay conciously active and 'in the moment' and contemplate while alone.
I think about (analyze) past relationships, places I want to travel, cooking, sex, and lyrics/books/music. Mainly. Lately I just feel like sleeping my thoughts off.
Different things, what's going on now, things I've read or whatever, the future, the past, and Brad tends to come across my mind a lot when doing things.
