You’d have to be superman to put the brakes on a locomotive. As much as I like to believe in the strength of my own mind; my birth certificate will confirm that I wasn’t born on Krypton.

I read an interesting article today about how to not think. I liked it’s comparison to the habit of over thinking, to a steam train without any brakes. It was sparked from a conversation I had with some friends at lunch about how impossible it would be to not think about something. I recommend having a look at the article above; it suggests that instead of replacing a thought with another one – the best method of not thinking is to allow each one to exhaust itself naturally. As much as I enjoy thinking, there is something to be said for moderation.
