Every moment you interrupt overthinking with action, you remind yourself that fear is only a thought.
Day-to-day life is mindset training.

A simple puzzle to demonstrate how people with university degrees tend to over complicate a simple problem

Just about to jump on a train into the city to meet an old friend. (Well, I'm old and she's young but we've known each other for some years. If she was old, would that make her an old, old friend? #OverThinking )

Anyhow, planning to have lunch at a restaurant I'd totally recommend, but they do enough business as it is, and I want to be able to get a seat. On the other hand, if all the Aussies on here are not from Melbourne, I might be willing to tell you.

Something can appear to be one thing when it is really another. This image may seem like it was captured in Santorini, but the photo was actually taken in Egypt. Likewise, someone can give the impression that they are a confident and carefree individual even though they lack self-belief and are affected by anxiety

I may appear to be cool, calm and collected in some of my photographs, but it is likely that I was worrying about looking foolish in front of other people. Because my mind constantly over-analyses everything, simple acts such as walking along a busy street, sending a text message or engaging in small talk become overly complicated and tiresome activities. These events are then replayed in my head. The curse of the overthinker!

@nev Maybe they have different pay scales for duty in space and at an Earth base?

I love when your brain is giving you all the anxiety about releasing your new #crochet #pattern and now you're overthinking it all...

What Did "Have A Nice Day!" Mean?

The phrase "stop overthinking" is a thought-terminating cliché (i.e., a thought-stopper), expecially when said by those who spend their existence constantly underthinking. How about stop underthinking, and start thinking.

Following on from yesterday's post, in the evening the tradesperson returned to the house next door. Our kitchens face each other and there is only a low fence between them. When I was doing the dishes, I looked up and we momentarily locked eyes

I didn't want to close the blinds, as he may have taken offence (according to my warped mind), so I finished the washing up with my head down for the entire time. I simply could not risk making eye contact again!

Feeling I've been fediversing a bit wrong by not boosting enough. Now hesitating to boost at all as since it feels more significant given the rarity .
Going to try to raise my rate of boosting in future from "nearly never" to "low". Noting it's possible to hide boosts if it gets too much . Boosting does not imply endorsement.
This announcement does not affect my policy on starring of cat pictures. I am compelled to star them, especially if they have alt text. #overthinking

Spinal Tap's backstory obviously draws inspiration from a lot of bands, but I always thought the particular arc they followed drew a lot from the Kinks. The big difference being that the Kinks had one of the greatest songwriters rock ever produced, but there are other parallels.

Arg, how do I dress when going into a school to work with teens, definitely not wanting to give off schoolteacher vibes but not wanting to go "trying too hard" either?

Constant brooding and overthinking often lead to things being questioned that don't need to be questioned at all.

The ball is still there.
