Hi, it could mean this:

you are allowing wayward thoughts to get the better of you!.

Our heads at times can get worn out by some of the thoughts we let dwell in there!.

if you are tired and stressed physically, it can sometimes be easyer to let wrong thoughts go haywire, rather than make the concious decision within yourself that "no i choose not to let myself dwell on that thought, or thought process"

thoughts of shame, or jealousy, or condemnation to oneself are detrimental even to our physical self if dwelt on too long!.

Best way to clean out the dirty water in a glass that you cant empty is to put it under a tap of clean running water and shortly it will fill up with good things washing out all the junky water!.!.!.for me it is when i focus on God and how good he is!. also for many, reading a good book, listening to positive up beat music, or some excercise!. maybe even doing some good old hard work will clear the head,,, this is a war you can win

trust me, i know
all the best,

I believe people want to associate themselves with rational thinking, and their passion (emotional factors, faiths, etc) is sometimes considered as the other half of their persona!.

If your mind is telling you something (rational) which is against your heart, then you are on a battle with yourself!. Weighing things,!.!.and if one say, that he is losing the battle against himself, i'd wanna think that his emotions are winning, not his reasons!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably feeling the effects of addiction, preferably drug addiction, but it doesn't have to be!. For example, maybe you crash into a parked car and there is no one around and you don't have insurance, you know the right thing to do is to leave your information for that person but it would save anxiety and money to just leave, this could be another example of inner struggle/war with yourself!.!.In black and white it means to be divided within yourself, trying to reach a solution (victory), not sure what kind of answer you are looking for because you're question is vague!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It could be situational where you were not able to make a decision or take an action that was formidable and caused you to experience some adversity,short term hardship or discomfort!. Or it could be a prolonged condition where a defeatist mentality has been embraced by you that directs and controls your life in a manner that oppresses your spirit and inhibits your ability to experience any real joy!.
