I'm just gonna keep re-reading this one.
And Also, as I'm reflecting today while doing housework, I think I'm seeing a parallel between my spiritual-emotional state and the degree to which / emphasis I'm placing on social media. These are trying times - without getting political - to live in the current context and I'm feeling like there may be a connection between the emotional hijacking that can happen to me with Facebook's 'news' and my own runaway thoughts.
I don't know that it was at all consciously connected, but looking back on my mental state, the focus I was allowing news to take in my mental chatter and the way I was choosing to let that stuff take my attention was a factor I'm pretty sure.
More to work on.
