We wouldn’t give away parts of our properties. We wouldn’t give away our money without a positive reason.
Many of us are even pretty good at not giving away our time frivolously.
Yet we freely give away our mind space to even the most random of people.
Someone cuts us off in a car. A stranger. A person who means nothing to us.
Yet we stew over it for hours, days even.
Someone posts something on social media that we don’t agree with.
And we’re angry. Then we revisit it to stay angry for days.
This occurred to me recently and it made me make a commitment to myself.
To protect my mind space as I would anything else that matters to me.
Because our minds are our experience of our existence.
