Dwelling Upon

   
   
     Your mind might like to go to a dwelling place where you think, rethink, and overthink particular topics or events, perhaps reminiscing, analyzing, or seeking comfort.  You may have reasons to spend more time thinking about the past, the present, or the future.
     Some people wish to live in the moment, keep the past in its place, and not worry too much about the future.  Others may have strong emotional attachments to the past and either like to relive pleasant memories or have trouble forgetting unpleasant ones.  Some people get stuck on trying to solve problems and delay decision making.  Others worry about the future and things that are out of their control.  They may even seek comfort in unrealistic ideas.
     Unfortunate circumstances may force people to dwell upon solving certain problems to survive or improve their lives.  They may not have the luxury to think about other things until their problems are solved.  Tragedies can monopolize our thinking until we are able to move on to a more balanced life.
    Spending an excessive degree of time on a particular subject can take away time better spent on other more pertinent concerns.  Vary your interests, what you think about, read about, and talk about.  Get beyond your own personal story.  You will become more interesting to yourself and others.  Consider the things you have been dwelling upon.
