Stepping Up to the Plate with Mind, Body and Spirit

Submitted by LauraPratt33 on Feb 25, 2009 - 8:40pm

The thing about me is this: I have a hard time controlling my own mind. That sounds ridiculous, I know. Who else has control of her mind, after all, if not the person providing the comfortable, well-appointed skull that contains it? I remember being quite haunted by this reality when I was a kid. I remember letting wicked, terrible thoughts creep into my brain (my parents dying if I didn't clean the kitchen; the house burning down if I was careless with money; fiercely believing that just because I thought something was true, it must be), and then freaking out at my apparent inability to keep a lid on my world.
