Overactive Imagination

More than likely this does not come as a surprise to you but I have such a restless mind and overactive imagination. Sometimes I wish there was a power switch, or better yet, a sleep mode to my mind. Some down time to allow everything to defragment, decompress, and reboot would be so nice. In Buddhist terms I am a classic Monkey Mind, meaning my mind is unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconstant; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable.

Looks like meditation is on my mind again...Now if only I could learn to clear my mind instead of focusing on if I'm doing it right and stop berating myself for stray thoughts!
