Are you overthinking?

Overthinking is when…

laying still in bed becomes the loudest moment of the day,

thinking about work stresses you more than work itself,

the biggest challenge is presence in the moment,

one thought can set off a whole avalanche of thoughts, just like a snowball rolling down a hill, rapidly gaining speed, size, weight, and momentum,

one small decision becomes a life-defining moment, accompanied by anxiety,

hope, doubts, and uncertainty can become unbearable burden,

the thought of endlessness and infinity creates a black hole that pulls away the floor under your feet, resulting in a sudden feeling of shock and falling,

you have the feeling of being held in prison in your own head,

you doubt your own thoughts and desires,

you can draw at least 3 potential realities from just one tiny decision,

you turn up the music just to overtone your thoughts,

you, at times, are overwhelmed by it all,

you are a bit proud of your overthinking because it makes you feel somehow complex and special,

you realize that your overthinking doesn't make you more or less special than anybody else,

you realize that your overthinking is your gift and burden at the same time and will always be part of you,

you finally accept your overthinking and start learning to listen to it, control it, love it, and shut it down at times.

Are you overthinking?

How do you deal with it?
