#70: A Few Thoughts On "Paralysis By Analysis"

Are you an over-thinker? I sure am! My brain loves to work over-time. Especially when I'm trying to sleep... or worse yet, when I'm trying not to think or worry about something. The human mind loves to think... which of course is a good thing. But sometimes it never seems to want to stop. Over-thinking can become a toxic habit that causes more damage than many of us realize. In fact, most of us over-think so much that many people consider it a worldwide epidemic.  If you ever suffer from over-thinking, here are 10 quotes for you to keep in mind: You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts. Before you talk, listen. Before you react, think. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try! Stop worrying about what can go wrong, and get excited about what can go right. Overthinking – the art of creating problems that weren't even there. Ouch, so true it hurts. Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere. Stop overthinking. You can't control everything, just let it be. Dear mind, please stop thinking so much at night. I need sleep. Overthinking is one of the biggest causes of unhappiness. Don't ruin a new day by thinking about yesterday. Let it go. A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear. So, if you ever find yourself over-thinking, try to quiet your mind. Maybe try and remember some these quotes Hopefully they'll help you to keep things in perspective.   Simplicity University will be open for registration this spring!
