My brain does circles sometimes. It is not necessarily anxiety but it can turn into that if I let the circles continue.
I get fixated on one thought and I spend every minute trying to figure out how to make that thing work or make that thing make sense. Today it has been the personality test Strengths Finder. I was looking at the results today and one of my strengths in a connector.
I have been trying to figure it out because I don’t feel like I am a very good connector. I like people and I like people to be happy and if someone is having a relationship problem I want to fix it. But I don’t feel like I connect.
Then I start to wonder if the other strengths are really my strengths. If this one is off then the other ones could be too. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology so I feel like I can figure out how to answer these tests so that I get the results I want. If I do that then how can I trust any of these tests?
Yes I make myself dizzy with all of these questions. Does anyone else have circles in the brain?
The point? I have to stop the circles. I distract myself with work or thinking about the Primary class I am teaching on Sunday. I write, I play games with the boys.
The truth is the circles are there but I have the choice of stepping out of the circle. Excuse me while I go get out of this circle.
