Supervising Your Brain

AJ Jacobs has a post that caught my eye if only because I once had an unruly Boston terrier…

I don’t trust my brain. It’s got some good qualities, sure, but it needs constant supervision. It’s like an unruly Boston terrier — left to its own devices, it will scamper off and rummage through the garbage can, spreading rotten guacamole all over the house. In my brain’s case, this means the hours spent wallowing in unrealistic worries, time-wasting regret and revenge fantasies.

My brain needs constant tugs on its leash to redirect it. And I think I’m not alone. Most brains are like that.

So who should supervise my brain? Since I’d rather not have an NSA-implanted chip monitoring my thoughts, I have to monitor my thoughts myself. I have appointed myself my brain’s babysitter.
