OLS Syndrome

The thing I really hate about an anxious mind is the fact that it feels like my brain is running on a hamster wheel! It just keeps going and going-jumping form one thought to another. These aren't always new thoughts either, it's most often the same handful of thoughts that get analyzed to death, but never makes you feel better. On the flip ides there is a part of my brain that is able to distract itself. Such as spotting a squirrel cleaning itself on a branch outside my kitchen window, and that is enough to distract the hamster wheel! So not only do I suffer from anxiety- I suffer from OLS, "Oh Look Shiny" Syndrome! I do think that if we all don't have a little OLS syndrome we would all wallow in our self pity and depression. Having the ability to appreciate that silly thing, or the funny thing, or something that just shocks your brain silent- is what keeps most of us a float. Think about how many times you have been in a conversation and see something out of the corner of your eye..and it makes you go "uhh..", "oooo"... or "wow". Come on admit it it has happened to you and its usually something silly- like awesome shoes, a cool car, a hot guy/girl, a silly outfit, the oblivious person that walks into something...the list goes on... Thank you for OLS Syndrome to distract our silly little minds!
