Some say when you are driving from one place to another your autopilot brain drives the car so your conscious brain can meditate. While I have experienced this in the past with a certain level of bliss, the chaos in my life these last couple of months are affecting the full function of my autopilot brain.
First factor, my kids... I can be in my bliss meditation state, autopilot to my next destination fully engaged, and then the voices in my car (no not the voices in my head) my soon to be 6 year old spews dome random information like... "mommy that car is a FORD like Papa's" and if I try to block them out they get caught in a auto repeat until said "mommy" is forced to respond with a "yes dear" which immediately breaks the quiet zen.
Or in a more disconcerting instance of late, the voices in my head are getting louder and more vigorous. So instead of having zen transit, quiet car with no passengers, my autopilot is being drowned out by my processing mind taking me through the list of things I have put off but really need to finish, or some issue from work that I am trying to work through in my mind, which much to my frustration is dropping me in places I didn't intend to drive. I inevitably quiet the voices just as I drove past my turn and have to go a mile or two out of the way to get where I am going.
So for those of you who are wait for me to get there... give me a few more minutes as I try to manage all the voices in my life... :)
