Problem is not with over thinking...
But thinking over and over again and again onto something way out of your league...
Thinking is good...
Thinking straight is even better....
Next time you find yourself falling in such loop...
Pull yourself out just for 3 simple questions...
Make yourself answer
- Does this thought trail lead me anywhere...
- Am I talking about ifs and buts... both out of my action scope...
- Am I getting better or worse with this...
You answers will show you if the trail is worth tracking...
If you are stuck in such situation... Try this...
Don't plan 10 steps ahead... Just plan one step ahead at a time...
Going for a walk in a rainy day------ carry an umbrella...
That's it...
You don't need to prepare the whole damn playlist..
You don't need to pack a snack pack..
You don't need to decide the destination too..
You just need to plan one step ahead.... that's it..
As you master this one, you can plan for two... Then three... And 4...5...10 again...
But this time it won't be termed as over-thinking..
It will be called forecasting..
That's the magic of thinking straight and not in loops...
Find one problem at a time and reach out to solution... Not a series of problems and problems in the solution offered..
Thinking is good when directed... Just give compass to your brain and let it head the road...
Next time you find your brain doodling thought noodles... Take the damn pen out and ask those three damn questions..
