I have a tendency toward
hamster-head, a condition in which the small animal that is my brain runs
constantly in a circle, never quite getting anywhere, but unable to stop. I am pretty sure I am not the only one.
So far, the best strategy for
getting my hamster under control is hamster-body, otherwise known as
exercise. Getting good and
breathless improves mood and focus.
It promotes healthy sleep.
Also, when all I can think about is how much my thighs burn on the five
millionth squat, I have no choice but to stay in the present moment.
A tired hamster is a good
hamster.
