ridingjoker. Letting things go tends to leave something unresolved. If a person gets into the habit of avoiding smaller points, the many small points become noticeable. More to the point, avoiding smaller points also becomes a habit.
As for "not thinking" for a bit. Sadly that doesn't happen often. I might be fortunate enough to get myself into a position where I don't need to think or be distracted in the next few weeks - time will tell. I Analise everything and dissect problems over and over. I look for solutions and if there isn't one, I look for counteracting steps or if nessesary, I look for an agreement - worsted case (if it's worsted) is to agree to disagree.
I don't have much free time, but if I get the chance, I like a good game of chess. My mind focus has to shift to playing the game, which does make a change. I like to play real people and there usually needs to be some sort of reward/penalty for the loosing/winning person.
Holly23. I didn't used to focus on words as much as I do now. That change has been a recent one and in fairness, that change has helped me in quiet a few ways, particularly to expect and look for crystal clear answers to be able to completely understand.
