Settle down.
I sometimes feel like I'm bound in this cage of my own thoughts. They just circle around in my head and almost never seem to settle. I push myself to think sometimes in order to come to some conclusion and sometimes it happens, but very rarely. But in case of the off chance that a conclusion or understanding will come, I feel like I can't help but let my mind run. New insights arise every now and then. And that's been happening today and this past week, but I feel stuck where I'm at in relation to some things. I hate feeling stuck. So now I am just waiting, I guess. But I sort of get confused about what to do in the mean time. I'm praying things through. Coming to God because I really don't feel like there's anyone I want to talk to really. Sometimes there are, but it seems like I cannot communicate with them or that I shouldn't really say anything. So silly. Mind, life, just settle down please.

Tell your mind to mind you. Tell your mind "never mind" sometimes. It's like it has a mind of its own!
Oh Emy, I relate to you. The key is to grab hold of it in love. It (your mind) has SO much to say and wants you to hear it all, all the time. Tell it you will listen to it, but that for a moment you need quiet. But let it know you won't turn it off forever, just for a short while.
I suspect it's the little child in you, trying to figure things out so she feels safe and everything makes sense in her confusing world growing up where she felt she was on her own, having to be sane and independent even as a small child. Tell her there is nothing to worry about and I'll bet she will calm down a bit. Tell her it's OK, that you are older now and will take care of her, so no need to panic or have all the answers right now.
I just printed this comment out and put it up in my room! :)
