What You Can Expect Being A Total Life Enjoyer (Instead Of An Ambitious But Chronic Overthinker)
2 min readApr 25, 2022
If these sound familiar, you are an ambitious but chronic overthinker (like I was all my life):
- You are constantly reassuring yourself that “everything is ok” but secretly worry that your life is falling apart
- You try to consciously analyze and interpret every situation
- You are planning for every single contingency multiple times but it does not help
- You have past regrets and low self-confidence that both torture you endlessly
- You tend to drift off to wanderland many times, not being here
Despite noble intentions, there are drawbacks (as you probably know):
- You are removing yourself from the present moment and are not fully aware of your current options
- You expel precious energy while not getting further ahead
- It is straining your temple and face overall
- You are overreacting to noise and forgetting the signal
Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle –they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments. ” (Alfred North Whitehead)
