Have you ever had a week where so much has happened that by Friday, you feel comfortably numb? A state where so much has gone on that not only do you feel neither here nor there, but disorientation circles around you? Comfortably numb! Why does this happen, we may ask? Perhaps it is the mind’s way of giving us a “time out,” a chance to reflect, relax, regroup and prepare to get back on the treadmill of humanity.
Many of us are constantly looking for ways to deal with the pressures of life. Some use medication, others alcohol and some exercise. Unfortunately, more and more are just choosing to tune out and float. You know what I mean? Just look around, you can see it. It’s one thing to daydream; it’s something else entirely to look vacated.
Have you ever gotten into a car, driven around few blocks and wondered how you got there? Comfortably numb! Have you ever had a conversation with someone, tuned out and tuned back in before the end of the conversation? Comfortably numb! Have you ever had a cup of coffee and then the next minute the cup is empty and you’re wondering who drank it all? Comfortably numb! How about this one; you think it’s Tuesday until you get to the office and find out it’s Wednesday! Comfortably numb, indeed!
