overthinking

If I really break it down, perhaps this trait in my personality is the way I check my moral compass. Perhaps this is how those of us ‘overthinkers’ keep ourselves working at being the best people we can be? Either way, I’m tired of it – and I’m tired from it. For the love of Jah, let me sleep! I want to be one of those people who can just let it go; who doesn’t look back. You know the people – they’re the ones who routinely wave a dismissive hand and use word “whatevs” (a word they should spend a little time re-thinking, incidentally). As an ‘overthinker’, I feel like I spend most of my time re-tracing my steps in order to ensure the day has all gone to plan and there’s nothing I need to go over, to improve on. (Wow – I must really be a hoot to hang out with, right?!) Nonetheless, perhaps it’s time for the members of Overthinkers Anonymous to re-think this strategy. Maybe it’s time to trust that all is as well as it needs to be at the end of each day and the perception of others doesn’t actually matter if we’re being our true, best selves. (Either that, or we need adopt some pharmaceutical assistance, but most would argue that’s not an ideal first step).
