When you spend all day thinking it can get pretty tiring. It affects you. It affects your job. It affects your family. My mind used to be full of thoughts all day too. I ran a multi-million dollar cosmetic software company. I ran triathlons. I was a pastor in my local church. I used to think all day and often all night long. I would think in company but I often used to think alone. I would go to any lengths to hide my thinking. This thinking used to influence my life a lot. I couldn’t do anything without thinking. If I went to a restaurant, I’d think when choosing what to eat. I’d think when driving a car. I’d even think when choosing what to wear in the morning. Eventually my wife said: “You know what, Bert? You think too much”. I realised that something had to change. Enter Dr Damian Front. Dr Damian was a colleague. He saw how much I was thinking. He saw I had been thinking so much that I had reached the bottom. Dr Damian did something which turned around my life. He dragged me along to a mindlessness.net meeting. I had never heard of Mindlessness before. But following the 12 Step program, I stopped thinking. And, would you believe it? I haven’t had a single thought for 8 years now. All thanks to Dr Damian and mindlessness.net.
