Hello @ekml, I would like to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect along with @susandenise and other members. I can relate to your thoughts leaping to a long list of things to get done today and then a few moments later resigning to not today. It can be a difficult struggle. I had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Amit Sood speak on the Happy Brain a few years ago and it gave me some new tools to help with some of my daily struggles. There is an article you may find helpful that has a short 5 minute video by Dr. Sood on meditation that might be helpful -- Mayo Mindfulness: A new way to meditate: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-mindfulness-a-new-way-to-meditate/.
Katie have you found any strategies that help a little to keep you out of the pickle?
I’m up there with you! I’m so sorry
