I've experienced overthinking first-hand and the analysis-paralysis from overloading my brain with so many "what ifs" esp. this summer. But I am going to change this habit for sure. If we create our reality with what we "think" then I sure as heck don't want to create un-necessary negative consequences for myself, because I over-thought a situation.

"Analysis paralysis" is the most perfect way I've ever come across to describe what this does to our minds and our lives! Life on its own is hard enough without us sabotaging ourselves with this. But it sure is hard to change a lifetime of habit.

Great post!
