Momentum

I discovered something today: it's all about momentum. As long as I was moving forward today, bravely writing and working on my self-assigned tasks, the meanie didn't get a chance to talk. Whenever I paused or slowed down, or took a breather, the meanie was right there, whispering in my ear, fluttering in my gut. Now I know why I like being in perpetual motion - so busy I don't have time for a break - it keeps the inner demons at bay.

That's a profound realization. Perhaps you need to deal with the inner demons rather than expend energy keeping them at bay. Certainly a subject for prayer and meditation.

Oh no, the demons do not need attention.
They have been dealt with.
I just need to keep the door shut on them.
