Overthinking.

Your Thoughts.

   You ever just sit and ponder on a situation and think of 1001 ways you could have made a better decision or somehow it could have gone a better direction. You draft possible situations to an already happened event and the other side, drafting scenes for a future event.

    I have had conversations with lots of people, read articles, listened to podcasts talking about overthinking, the good side, the bad side, how to control it and what’s not, I’m not going to do because I need to also know how to stop overthinking myself.

   I will be writing about certain situations that I overthought and they did or didn’t work out the way I thought. First thing I’ll tell anyone who overthinks is, your thoughts counts, always have and always will, just don’t stress about everything being perfect. One thing that any overthinker deals with is we have the idea of perfection stuck in our minds that when it doesn’t go that way, it’s not what we want. We’ve seen wedding ceremonies, or artworks or architectural drawings or coding and they’re near perfect, if not perfect, ask the creative behind it and they’ll tell you of times they stressed about getting some things near perfect, you aren’t anything different.

     My situation, I have love & interests for so many things, some I want to take long term, some for fun, some as the time goes, some I love when others do them, not necessarily me. The ones I want to long term are my constant turmoil because I have a picture in my head of how I want things to be placed, how things should pace out, when things should roll in, lots of things but the one thing I haven’t actually done is START. I have spent a lot of time thinking and thinking that I haven’t spent a minute starting. 

    So here’s to the overthinker, we will always want to figure out plan A-Z plus extra and this isn’t a bad thing. The only bad thing is if you spend the bulk of your time thinking than doing, because no one is seeing your thinking, they’ll only see it when you actually do it.

   So pick up that project, that thing, that paper, anything you’ve been thinking about and start doing. You’ll figure out the rest as you go, you always have and always will.

   START DOING.
