RE: Thinking about thinking, and what you're thinking

I think I'm an overthinker. There are times I try to imagine what would happen then I also think about what to do, what other choices do I have when I face that scenario. I also overthink about some details in whatever I watch, read, or hear. Must be the effect of watching too many crime/detective shows.😅 Then I go back into thinking that I shouldn't think too much because it probably won't do me any good. I think I've used the word think too much now. 😵

Sort:  

A certain amount of thinking is required and I believe at times we need to work a little harder, think harder or more objectively. I guess there's a line between that and overthinking, we need to know when we cross it right? Of course, there's so many things we should move on from out thoughts and not waste time with.

I think you didn't use the word think too much in a comment about thinking that required you to think your comment through. Lol.

That's what I should still learn--knowing whether I'm thinking critically or I'm already overthinking. It can become stressful at times when I think too much and more so when I know that I AM thinking too hard. I guess I should practice yoga or some form of meditation to relax my brain when thinking seems to much. 😅

It's sometimes difficult to see and that's why I use detachment, find a little gap away from those thoughts, to gain some perspective.
