Significance

I don't know why my mind insists on adding significance to things - it's tiring. I was really excited about starting my new job so I began thinking about how this might be the next new direction for my teaching career. Then, today I'm having nerves so I worry that something will happen and the job will fall through. Something similar happens when my husband calls from interstate, or comes home for the weekend. I have to remind myself to relax and let us have a normal time together rather than making it feel important. When I get tired and headachy, suddenly my brain suspects it's a migraine. I guess I need to work on accepting that my mind does this and try to just be in the current moment - easier said than done, though.
