I've been considering this very same dynamic lately when it come to such things as setting intentions or even approaching life in general. The mind always wants to "get things right," to know that I'm doing things in a proper way in a proper order and such. This comes at a great risk, which for me shows up as feeling flat, uninspired and even depressed. There is great wisdom sometimes in the cheesy cliches.
the mind really wants to be in charge. it's so hard to get it to chill out. i think it's why a lot of creative people use mind-altering substances. just to force the mind to take a holiday.
