Non-stop thinking

Awareness, Humor, prompts

October 31, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about how the wheels keep turning. Are the wheels tangible or metaphorical? Go where the prompt leads!

➰➰➰

The wheels turn in my mind as it thinks unceasingly. Take a pause or a break, I advise it sagaciously but often to no avail.

Only when I am deeply engrossed in another activity that my brain stops this incessant cycle of thinking. Sometimes I tire of this and try to divert it to more relaxing activities, but it likes to spin like rat on a treadmill all the time.

What’s wrong with thinking, you question!

Nothing at all, if it doesn’t go around in circles and keeps on creating questions and answers to problems that don’t yet exist!

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  15. The mind never stops thinking, if you are engrossed in another activity, it cleverly changes the track and starts helping or advising you about that work. But that’s the good part.
