Our clocks changed last weekend.
What was 5 am is now 6 am.
My current habit is that when I notice the time, I mentally dial it back an hour.
"It's 9:28 am. This was 8:28 am this time last week"
I go back and forth in my mind to try to get used to the new conditions that exist.
I feel the change in my body too!
My rhythm is off.
Oddly, I find myself waking even earlier than I used to and of course not getting up, because "last week it was an hour earlier."
I don't know what time to go to bed. If I go to bed at the same time, well that's an hour earlier than it was. Or, do I wait to go to bed later?
I am mentally unsettled.
What to do? What to do?
When I stop and notice this, I realize and remember that there is nothing to do. Right now I am all up in my head, so to speak, giving this far more thought and attention than necessary.
I just need to allow things to settle back down (remember the snow globe).
I know this will settle, because I know that a month from now I will not be thinking this way. Probably much sooner. And, it won't be because I did anything.
The mind is like water - it will always find its own level.
