Today’s question – “One thing you should stop doing”
There are so many things that cross my mind for this question. But if I have to choose one thing it would be overthinking.
I tend to overthink about situations. It has lot to do with my upbringing where we were pushed to perfection and the what if I didn’t succeed has led to the overthinking as an adult.
While I know overthinking is useless and one of the key drivers ti stress, I can’t avoid it. I am learning to be aware of it and then trying to contain it but it is a work in progress. It does not help that I am married to an over thinker, so talking to him is futile.
There is a quote “Overthinking: the art of creating new problems out of ones that never existed in the first place.” It is a fact and while I know it, learning to unlearn is a skill that I am pursuing. I am hoping that I can get there one day at a time!
