Joanne Smith argues that filling your mind with more activities and tasks makes mental clutter worse, not better. Real peace comes from the gaps between thoughts, not from doing more. She compares an overloaded mind to a shaken snow globe where thoughts swirl endlessly.
call it the dropping centre because I don't need to be doing anything for my mind to quieten down a little bit now these days. And actually what I realised was that by doing all of those other things and adding in so many activities and thinking I should be doing this and I need to be doing that and that's gonna help me get strong and it's gonna help me get rid of this and that, I was literally just pumping more thoughts into an already busy mind and putting more and more in there, and I might as well have just, just, just been basically just stuck in a continuously being shaken up snow globe. And it's no wonder that the one thing that I thought was gonna get me better, it never did, because it was never, it was never, the answer's never in that. And the answer is always in the quiet mind, the quiet space of mind, the gaps between thoughts, which we can all get to with an understanding.
