Further to a previous blog, today I'm talking about less thinking. Just like writing, thinking is another thing that is good for me...to a point.
Thinking about something is good. Over-thinking doesn't do me any favors. Sometimes I find myself in a loop of thinking about the same thing over and over.
This affects me in a lot of different areas of my life. I used to be an impulse shopper, but now I've almost gone to the other end and often research things for ages and, in the end, don't make a purchase.
I can easily go off on a tangent with my thoughts. As an example I may decide I want to take a Yoga retreat. Then I spend hours looking at options online, researching, planning. And then I decide not to go.
Thinking is good. Research is good. But I am practicing recognizing when enough is enough and it's time to make a decision.
This goes hand in hand with the Less Writing, a chance to get out of my head.
