Thinking....Again

I wanted to write again today about something I've recently noticed about myself, and that is that I tend too think too much. What I mean by this is whenever my minds not concentrating on stuff I'm doing, it tends to wander, and I never really just shut off, and I don't know whether that's a good thing or not.

I'll tell you how I first noticed this and that's through the use of my MP3 player. Whenever I leave the house there are certain things I always have on me; my wallet, my phone, my keys...and my MP3 player. The reason why I think I do this, is A) because I really enjoy listening to music, and B) it keeps my mind focused on something on those long walks to the shops or coming back from university.
I also for a long time, up until several years ago, used to listen to music when heading off to sleep. Now I know some people will say that this won't actually help you sleep but instead keep you awake longer, but for me it did used to help.

Realising that I like to use music as a way of distracting myself, this also makes sense listening to music before sleep, as loads of people when laying there unable to get to sleep, just lay and ponder things, until they finally doze off.

When thinking about some of the subjects my mind often tends to wander to during these quiet periods where I'm not thinking/day-dreaming, I'd probably say that's its nicer to keep me distracted and focused on other stuff.

Out of all the things I talk about in these blogs, this probably does sound like one of the most odd topics to talk about, but I wanted to have my say. If nothing else I've learnt something new about myself, and now probably have a better reason to finally upgrade my MP3 player from this 4Gb player to something more modern.
