“The brain is such an amazing thing!” this statement alone is said by many people. And yes while it is true that the brain is amazing, it is also horrible sometimes. It is not always a good thing. The brain is the main part of who we are. As incredible and interesting at it is, it is also its own trouble maker. For instance, why is it when we are all wide awake and full of energy the brain acts tired? But yet, when we are tired and right when you lay down to go to sleep, it’s the brain says, “Okay I’m ready lets think.” and it starts to run everything in your mind. From memories to things that were said to even tings that you need to do. And why is it like the brain has its own conversation when we try to go to sleep too? It never fails, when we are ready to go to bed, the brain sometimes will say no lets stay up and chat. The brain is an interesting thing but it can be annoying as well. From having a good dream to turning a dime BAM your having a nightmare all of a sudden. Like what the hell brain. Okay we get it. The brain is powerful yes, but why can’t it let us sleep when we want it to and work when we need it too. The times of staying up laying wide awake in bed, starring in a dark room, watching the time tick by, as you just lay in bed wide awake desperately wanting to go to sleep. So you try different techniques to hopefully help you fall asleep but to no avail. The brain does what the brains wants and there is no controlling it. We can count sheep, drink warm milk, sing a lullaby to ourselves, but that fact is the brain just won’t shut up and sleep when we need it to. we are on brain’s time. And God forbid if you have built up emotions. The brain will play off those emotions. “We have to do this?” “Did we do this right?” “Did we turn those documents in before we left the office?” “Am I doing a good job as a parent?” “Why do dogs smell each other’s butts?” The brain is never ending. It is random, it is annoying, it is in our head, literally. The brain does its own thing. And we are its puppet for life.
