Taking care of my inner self

Ahh...i have neglected my inner self...letting it get lost in a whirl of thoughts and constantly jumping from one thought to another...my overworked mind has taken a life of its own with me gradually losing control over it. I lost the ability to concentrate just on one task over time without realising it, as a consequence of always trying to multi-task. Am i always in a rush? Must i multi-task all the time? Why am i so uncomfortable with doing nothing?

Kinda like when u are surfing the internet, some people concentrate on one window and some open multiple windows. Of course this kan cheong spider belongs to the latter. I can have clothes in the wash, stuff cooking on the stove while i'm watching tv and ironing clothes at the same and throw in nagging/chatting with my husband...no wonder i feel tired all the time.

Came across this website which gave me a new perspective - http://www.successconsciousness.com/
Some of the concentration exercises are really useful (see the free e-books section). Such as counting the number of words in a paragraph in your mind, without using your fingers to point the words out or verbalising it =D Real tough i tell u! Counting backwards from 100 to 1 seemed a lot easier. Shall practice this diligently!!
