Thanks Tanja for your thoughtful and helpful tips about overthinking. Is overthinking the same as worrying? I'm not sure about overthinking - I'd never really considered that idea until I read your post and then I realized that it was something we all do. Run things around in our heads before we say something or again after some unfortunate incident has happened.
On the other hand, there is the law of sowing and reaping - that helps us to understand where we have gone wrong: as we sow, so shall we reap - and so we need to reflect on what we have done that contributes to the situation we find ourselves in. I can see your main point, however - don't dwell on things and replay them because that can just have us stuck in the past.
Great photo and strange for we southern hemisphere people where we are facing up to a very hot summer.
My dear Reuben, thank you so much for your comment. I believe that overthinking is the stage that comes after worrying, when you see yourself unable of letting something go and keep playing the myriad of different scenarios over and over again in your head and get stuck. Getting unstuck can sometimes be a huge challenge. Wishing you a great start to your week. Tanja
Miss Tanya - thank you for the Blues Brothers - Aretha smile this morning‼️ The only way I stop overthinking is to stay so busy that I must switch and embrace the next blossoming topic to think about... in the past, I’ve undertaken many practices to stop overthinking - to no avail. Now, I just drop the useless topics and overthink the good ones! If a useless thought returns repeatedly; then I solve it - but mostly, I believe “thinking time” is finite and therefore time is precious and it’s SO healthy to release the of running mental laps...
I’m currently overthinking the chore of Christmas decorating - which you addressed beautifully - Your fireplace is lovely!
