Overthinking
How we feel is not because of what happens, but because of how we think about what happens.
If you make the effort to structure and organise your time according to your values and goals, you will naturally find that your stress levels become more manageable, and overthinking ebbs a little.
It might feel a little obvious and cheesy to literally write your goals out, but just try it and you may be surprised by how unclear the vision really is. Tighten you goals up a little and you’ll discover that being more focused in your approach makes you more determined to satisfy your plan.
A good day is one in which you spent the most time possible on those tasks that genuinely enrich your life and help reach your goals, while minimising how much shallow work you have to do, and how stressed it can make you.
You could begin the day with something enjoyable, rather than dive into chores and stressful tasks. Make a habit of taking ten minutes break every hour for a cup of tea, stretch, or a little walk.
