Very funny. Most moms I know have “monkey brain.” It’s a survival mechanism. Or a death sentence. Not sure which.

Jessie, I was just having a conversation with a colleague about ‘monkey mind,’ and trying to meditate. As usual, I told her to stop trying. Now, I’m gonna send her a link to your post. Awesome – just like you!

Jessie, you might enjoy this recent blog post from one of my favorite writers: http://www.katrinakenison.com/2011/09/27/the-treasure-of-an-ordinary-day/ Basically she says what you say another way, that the REAL practice of mindfulness is not finding peace in a peaceful environment but finding peace amidst the chaos. Well written as always!

I have never been good at meditation – but Ive never really “practiced” either. Not only am I not able to clear my mind — but I cant even focus on less than 5 things at once. It is very very noisy in my head. Some may call this schizophrenia — I call it my life.
Nice headstand BTW!

I can’t tell you how much this post resonates with me. In fact, I think we may just share a Monkey Brain.
