As I get older, I notice how over thinking became a habit over the years. Over thinking is the voice in our head that over analyzes everything; for instance, we may over analyze the actions a coworker did today at work or that comments your supervisor gave you about the project you are working on. Does he hate me or the project? Do they want me to wear this red shirt? Why did he do that while filling his coffee cup? Our college years taught us to think critically; we have to look at a subject from different angles and perspectives and try to understand why this or that happens. This all deem good in school and when we go out in the real world, we realize applying this critical thinking skill can be harmful to our health. We over think about our life; are we living the life we want? Is our life good enough? Over thinking can sometimes create frictions in our lives; we compare ourselves to people who seem to have better life and become unhappy when we don't have what other people have.
Here are a few harmful effects of over thinking:
1. It stops us from doing what needs to be done.
2. It hinders your growth. The more you do something, the more you will grow as a person.
3. It wastes our time.
4. Last but not least, we stop enjoy our life.
What must we do? Sometimes we just need to put thoughts on hold and leap, or in another word, just do what needs to be done.
