A conversation with my Brain

This is a conversation with my Brain, I had today morning. This happened right after I opened my eyes…

My Brain: Hey sleepyhead, how you doing

Me: Dear God, thank you for blessing me yet another chance to wake up and do something. Oh! please brain, it's way too early for you to start acting up, please not just yet.

My Brain: hahahahahaha! I already have decided to race in between a hundred thoughts. Though none of these thoughts matter only if you let them go. But it's you and I am the one in control so buckle up.

Following are the thoughts and actions I had for the next 15 minutes in a sequence of happening:

1. I hope today gets along fine and I have a peaceful workless weekend.
2. Oh, God! I have so many things to think about, I have to reduce the customer complaints and optimize the working solution in order to avoid any further mishaps.
3. What will be my story if my management asks me about the complaint of an influential person. What did that happen and how to avoid it in the future.

By this time I shook my head and realized that I was not only out of the bed but was brushing my teeth and 5 minutes already passed by. I was awake, present at the time but was not feeling me being present at the moment. Anyways, I got all dolled up and was ready to say my morning prayer. In payer, the following happened:

1. What if any party calls back with yet another complaint. Do I know of any issue which will become an issue in the future for me?
2. I hope to be blessed with peaceful work and success
3. I need to get back towards education and should get enrolled in another Masters's degree.

Now, I have halfway through my prayer and I realized that I was actually praying. Prayer had become a habit as I was scrolling through it. By the end of the 15th minute, I had a million thoughts running in my head, none of which was helpful. I was already tired at the start of the day. I wanted to read the book I had started earlier on and believe me know I am going to say that I AM BUSY DIEING (from the movie Shawshank Redemption).

Sometimes I literally have to beg my brain to slow down!!! This should not be the way of life we have opted to live. This life can not be so meaningless. There has to be a purpose. There has to be a reason which makes you wake up every morning happy and purposeful.

Realize this before you end up whining like me.
