It certainly is not unusual if you are currently experiencing shock, horror, disbelief, anger, grief, numbness or other range of emotions. It’s possible it could be affecting your sleep, causing you nightmares or insomnia, consuming your thoughts, causing anxiety, or an inability to concentrate. Or perhaps overwhelming grief and sorrow.

It only makes sense that our brains have default settings. Those are the settings that our brains default to when we are stressed or things we can do with little to no thought. For example, my default setting for when to eat is when I’m sad, happy, tired, stressed, or when I’m awake! This eating default setting has been a well-worn patterned default in my brain for many years. Unfortunately, unlike being able to go into your computer default settings, make a change and click “save,” we cannot do that with our brains. Instead, if we want to make changes to our default settings, we must make them bit by bit, by starting a mini habit that we can do without one ounce of motivation on our part; a simple thing that can be done by sheer self-willpower.
