Do you spend time catastrophizing and thinking about the worse possible scenarios or wondering if something you said was just not the right thing to have said?

There is SO much more knowledgte and intelligence beyond thought. This side of our brain experiences emotions and intuition. We must release the attachments that consume our attention and distract us from the present moment, which is where our peace abides.
