There’s an old Raffi tune my daughter and I sang when she was little: I am slowly going crazy, 1-2-3-4-5-6 switch, crazy going slowly am I 6-5-4-3-2-1 switch. Sometimes I’ll still mutter the song to myself as I flit from one commitment to another. I’ve said it before — that remaining busy helps keep my mind in the present. It encourages me to not dwell on lack but focus on plenty. But if you know me, I typically don’t do anything halfway. Which means moderation is a challenge. I’m working on that one by picking and choosing value-added activities, rather than simply filling my days with “stuff.” This means pursuing interests and relationships that edify and add to, rather than tear down and take away from. Saying yes to those things that fill the depleted areas in my life and no to the things that aren’t worth my time or energy. That way, going a little crazy can be a fun thing.
Does your crazy need to be re-evaluated?
