Your brain loves to play tricks on you. And one of the ways it does this is by throwing all sorts of random thoughts at you. Bacon and eggs while you’re in a meeting, cats playing baseball while you’re at lunch with a colleague, wildfires and hurricanes coming together while you’re settling into bed. Your brain doesn’t care what they are. And the more fantastic, outlandish, or terrifying, the better as far as it is concerned, because it is utterly random and completely made up. Your brain is amazing. It can produce inspirational ideas for you to move forward when faced with a challenge and it can create crushing scenarios that keep you frozen in time and space.
