Search Results: get him off my mind

Its amazing how im 42 and still learning things about myself. So what i mean is lets say i just got off work and want to say do the laundry at home. I need a small maybe 10-15 minute buffer before i go ahead with it. You might also call it simply a pause to simply allow my brain to reset itself and brace for the next activity so i can go at it with 💯 mental energy and clarity.

looks like im not the only one who needs this cause i found this article on it. https://dakharipsyc.com/blog/mental-buffer-time/

Why These Short Pauses Matter

Constant activity with no breaks can lead to mental fatigue, shorter attention spans, and more stress. The mind works best when it has a little space to reset. Even a couple of minutes is enough to:

- Process what you just finished, so nothing lingers in the background
- Calm any tension or anxiety before moving on
- Give your brain a break from always being “on”

If you’ve ever felt on edge or stuck in a cycle of busyness, buffer time acts as a natural speed bump, helping you slow down so you can move forward with greater wellbeing.

I've been in three car crashes, none of them my fault. In my first one, I was hit by a pregnant teenager on a learners permit who ran a red light, driving illegally without a licensed driver in the car. My second one was a hit-and-run that started to cut me off, then changed their mind and scraped the entire driver side of the car. My third one was an impatient driver coming towards me who got tired of waiting to make his left turn, and t-boned me as I made my left turn.
