A pleasure rather than a task.

I’ve been promoting the one-track mind concept lately. Because it can be a positive way of thinking. To put one thought. A happy thought. On one’s mind. And then blocking out everything else. It’s a good way to relax.  Some people can’t do it. Other things keep popping into their minds.  Often, negative thoughts.  A clutter. Of course, it takes discipline to allow only one train of thought on the track. Though in the case of people with dementia, it can become a little easier. But they have to be coached. Trained to wear blinders. Like a race horse. To focus on the single, immediate task at hand. I can multiple-task. Do several things at once. When I have to. But most times, it’s unnecessary. And undesirable. It can be stressful. I’d rather focus on one task/thought at a time. Making for a pleasure rather than a task. –Jim Broede
