Cleaning the Mind

. . . is like cleaning house. First, you check the corners for cobwebs, especially up high near the ceiling. Cobwebs are unsightly in your home, but in your mind--oh, my! Plagued with fuzzy thinking, poor decision making, memory problems etc? Mental cobwebs for sure, excluding medical problems, of course--an overload in the stress department I've been told. Too many things to do, too little time to do them in. At least, that's what we tell ourselves. So, here's a tip. Once a week: steam up the bathroom, use every drop of hot water in your shower or tub, whichever you prefer. Listen to Tchaikovsky for an hour while you wait for the teabags on your eyes to do their thing. Have a hot-fudge banana split, take a walk around the block (not power walk, though), then settle down to a good book--NO television (it's only once a week, you can do it). In general--keep the world at bay for twenty-four hours.

Now you're ready to deep clean. Once you start, don't let more fun things distract you from your appointed tasks or, trust me, you'll be right back to cleaning cobwebs from the corners!

If none of the above work for you, try blogging for a sure fire cure.

That's it--I gotta go. My banana split is melting. Ummm, yummm.
