Your mind may dwell on everyday routines, family and friends, parental responsibilities, jobs, conversation, socializing, spiritual matters, financial concerns, pets, politics, hobbies, music, and entertainment. Some people also dwell on regrets of the past and worries of the future. Our minds are always busy even when we sleep.
A large portion of our thoughts are led by habits, routines, and to-do lists. Other people and events influence our thinking. Busy lives can almost be consumed without time to think beyond present circumstances.
Much of our middle-age is spent on job and parental responsibilities. Been there; done that. We remember and learn from our past but shouldn't dwell there. We need to forgive and forget and stop worrying about things out of our control. Retirement gives us more freedom and time to think about other things. No one knows how much time we have left, so we need to dwell on what is important to us, what we want to accomplish, and what we want to think about. As many have said before, "A mind is a precious thing. Don't waste it."
