The Midnight Planning Committee
Look! Squirrel! #39
Commentary
When we worry about money, the mind often responds by generating even more plans, strategies, and distractions. It sincerely believes that enough preparation will eliminate uncertainty, while a deeper part of us is willing to let the worry exist without needing to immediately solve it.
Everyone recognizes the experience of trying to sleep while the mind suddenly schedules a conference. The squirrel’s solution actually creates the problem it’s trying to solve.
Question: What problem am I still thinking, thinking how to solve long after thinking has stopped helping?
