Affirmation to Negativity My mind is quiet & relaxed

My mind is quiet & relaxed


Quiet almost never arrives when it is the objective. Sit down and demand calm and you get a very loud twenty minutes of noticing how uncalm you are.

It turns up sideways instead, in the middle of something with just enough in it to occupy the hands. Washing up, a long drive, weeding, folding things. The mind gets a job small enough to hold it and then, unsupervised, goes quiet on its own. Which suggests the route in is not concentration. It is occupation.
