Or in other words: The thinking of the brain. Our brain is always thinking, working, considering, problem solving. If you stop an actually THINK about it, everyday something amazing happens right inside of our heads. As complex as we are though, it’s very simple to bring that process to a grinding halt. It’s also very simple to distract us from enjoying what is right in front of our faces. Emotions sometimes get the better of us, whether your feeling a little self conscience about your self, or something you did, or if your feelings for someone are blinding you to things you should be seeing it’s very easy for the intricate process of thinking to be bombarded with a monkey wrench. I mean figuratively speaking of course, an actual monkey wrench to the head is in no ones best interest, unless you’re a robot, in which case you’re awesome.

Interruption can be good though, sometimes you need a break from the norm. Sometimes you have to change your plans to absolutely no plans and do something spontaneous. Living in Las Vegas, it’s easy to fall into a routine of clubbing, drinking, complaining, and repeating while never doing anything about it. People will forget their passions, their dreams, an their ability to grow and learn. This is why interrupting that is necessary, sometimes your brain needs a good gear reworking to remind you of what life is about. To remind you that experiences, challenges an new passions await you around every corner.

I remember when I was a kid, I was rather imaginative. I was obsessed with movies, cinematography, and acting. It gave people a chance to escape into other worlds, other lives, other times. I can remember running through our woods, an bushes thinking of different scenarios and acting them out, entertaining myself. This is why it’s important to have “you” time. My imagination still runs rampant, whether I’m at Red Rock imagining an alien invasion or pulling off the side of the road to explore something that looks good for photography, or getting lost in a song while dancing…. I’m constantly exercising my brain an making the most out of my situation. When I’m not, or I catch myself in a down time of thinking, uninspired, or just lazy, is when I snap out of it and remind myself that there is more to life then what everyone would have you believe.

So, do yourself a favor, an learn something new!! Perhaps an instrument, start dancing, take a class, rock climb, snowboard, go skating, go night hiking, buy some books, draw, write, EXPRESS. Break that cycle of monotony, slowly get your gears moving in a different direction an remember that we only get one life and using our brains will help us to get the most out of it.
