Do the thoughts and emotions running through our minds have an effect on the outside world? Quite a bit of the reading I’ve done here of late would seem to say “yes.” Fascinating concept and something to ponder as I go through my daily routine.
I can readily say that I am an overthinker as a human being. From the time I get up in the morning to the last waking moments of my day, I’m thinking about one thing or another. Even as I consider that my brain might need to take a break from all that thinking, I realize that may not be entirely possible.
I also know there’s a fair amount of modern psychology that says that we can get addicted to our overthinking. It would seem this can be the case even when our thoughts are of a negative nature. At first, I couldn’t fathom being addicted to something that was unpleasant but realized I might just be one of those it applies to.
Most of the excess thinking, at least for me, comes in the form of reliving past events or trying to foretell something that is in the future. Needless to say, that keeps me from being in the present moment, which is neither positive nor negative.
So just for today, I’ll try to live in the present moment as much as possible. I’ll try to enjoy each moment and go with the flow as they say. I’ll try to document some of my experiences and share those with readers.
