Thoughts

I have found when I get an obsessive thought in my head that I just need to find a replacement for it.  Chalk it up to an Anxiety Disorder or to a manic phase.  (Not sure why I have this OCD kind of pattern but I know it has something to do with my anxiety.)  Sometimes it's pretty ok, because I can channel that energy into a project, like painting my house or cleaning out the garage or getting a crazy amount of work done in a short amount of time.  Most of the time, the obsessiveness just makes me feel like a CD that skips and it won't move forward.   I work really hard so that most people around me won't notice this little trait, but the people closest to me have experienced this little annoyance first hand. It's really not fun at times. I'm dealing with such a thing right now, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and put myself out there so I could give my brain a rest on one particular topic.  So far, it seems to be helping.
