You're right! A lot of times it's mind over matter. Once we realise that and shift our focus, everything gets easier.
I used to be a massive overthinker, but these days I just roll with things and cross the bridge when I get there. This makes me better able to regulate my emotions.
I love that photo taken in Ohio... so stunning!
Thanks for stopping by:)))
I enjoyed it 😉
Thanks for your #KISS
I can't say that I don't still have a tendency to overthink, but I'm getting better and better at fighting my anxiety! Probably traveling across the globe with no solid plan and only a suitcase has helped 🤣
Do you feel that traveling and battling overthinking have gone hand-in-hand for you as well?
I'm glad you dug the photo- sunsets over Lake Erie were always one of my fav things about Ohio 🤗
Hmm, maybe! I think it's just self-growth and experience... and as they say, only a fool hurts himself twice!
I think I put things into perspective and remind myself that I cannot read other's minds, and also, I ask myself the question, "What's the worst that could happen?" ... and just break things down and channel my energy differently.
It took me time to get there though:)))
It's funny you say that, I was considering putting the quote about how worrying is just suffering twice in this post ahahaha
Speaking of cool quotes, I also like "What other people think of me is none of my business"... None of us are mind readers, and maybe trying to be is like mental self flagellation. Our ideas about what others might think seem to often hurt more than the reality of things!
I love what you said here, and that you've reached that point through personal growth 💗
That's exactly the point.
So it's better to work on ourselves, have virtues that we live by, and then understand more about ourselves to know what we're about. That way, it doesn't matter what others think... and living by your virtues you can only trust that others will see you the way you are, and not by how they see themselves.
Always remember, we think what we are... or we see the world how we see ourselves.
