Bothered With OVER-THINKING?

Bothered With OVER-THINKING?

Bothered With OVER-THINKING? Or is OVER-THINKING not that bad, not worth our time today?  True, on the surface it seems there is NOTHING worrisome but hey dude, when we OVER-THINK, our judgments can get 'CLOUDY' and even your stress levels get elevated.  You end up spending too much time in the negative.  In the end, OVER-THINKING is difficult to act on💴💷💵

So, you might ask, can we avoid OVER-THINKING?  YES and NO.   YES if want to.  NO if we are NOT fully committed to a 'YES'.  So, where do we start?  That journey starts in our AWARENESS.  Unless we are AWARE, we can't even take the next first step.  In many cases, OVER-THINKING is caused by a single emotion spelled "F-E-A-R".  When you FOCUS on the negative things, it is quick and easy to become paralyzed📗📙📘

Next, let us DISTRACT ourselves into HAPPINESS.  Sometimes, it is helpful to have a way to DISTRACT yourself with happy, positive and healthy alternatives.  Things like mediation, exercise, learning a new instrument and other activities of interest can help DISTANCE you from issues enough to shut down that OVER-THINKING, OVER-ANALYSIS❎❎❎

As you start to get a direct handle of things, PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.  It is always easy to make things bigger and more negative than they need to be.  The next time you catch yourself MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL, ask yourself how much it will matter in five years.  OR, for that matter, next month.  Just this simple question, changing up the time frame, can help SHUT DOWN OVER-THINKING.  And if there is something you must STOP PRONTO, STOP WAITING FOR PERFECTION❌❌❌

Waiting for PERFECTION is a 'big one'.  For all of us WHO are waiting for PERFECTION, we can stop waiting RIGHT NOW.  Being ambitious is great BUT aiming for PERFECTION is simply unrealistic, impractical, and debilitating.  The moment you start thinking 'THIS NEEDS TO BE PERFECT', that is the moment you need to remind yourself that you got to dump OVER-THINKING pronto☝☝☝
