Intervention for a Problem Thinker

by Christine on November 3, 2005

This hits home!! Are you a Problem Thinker? I’m about to go away for a weekend with some girlfriends to a Spa. It is a nice annual gift our husbands give us. I am really fearing the weekend. I can’t think! Thinking is not allowed. Reading deeply is forbidden. Our talk is of the latest Desperate Housewives show (saw my first episode last year on this trip, will get to see my second episode this year), why Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are not married, who cut their hair in a cute style, how much weight we want to lose this year etc., etc., etc.,. My husband says it’s good for me. My girlfriends say it’s good for me. The Spa insists it’s good for me.

Between a massage, yoga (where I try to think of nothing – less I think about some inner-power), Tai-Chai meditative walks my mind gets empty and gets increasingly desperate.

So what am I doing? I’m sneaking in my Ipod filled with John Piper’s talks from the Sovereignty of God Conference, I’m bringing Bruce Ware’s book on the Trinity and Grudem’s, Systematic Theology, and I plan on working on my 4-6th Shorter Catechism questions for memorization. For fun – I’m also taking my new camera and hope to get some great autumn shots of New England.

I’ll also try to not obsess about not thinking. I’m sure I’ll do less thinking and reading than planned. I’m sure on some level this is good for me. But it is bitter medicine! I’ll survive until next year’s intervention.

Hi Glen, I n-joyed reading this article, .. which blogger hasn’t experienced a writer-block? Here are some good tips I didn’t know about (like Postrank), so thanks for sharing! What I sometimes also do is check my webstats and look at the keywords, .. why? Most of the time people search on Google when they’re on a quest for a solution to a specific problem. If there are lots of people looking for the ‘same’ topic or issue (or solution), it shows in your keyword-stats and you know what to write about! Once again, great post! Cheers & Ciao …

If a cat was born alive with that deformity, it wouldn’t be alive long. Kinda looks like something inspired by the game Spore :)
