Well if this isn’t incredibly relatable…. and I’m 35. I work with small children so I do feel like I have an impact and it’s what I want to be doing but this is still very, very relatable. I may not be the one to give advice but I’d say, write down on paper exactly where you’d want to be in five years. Describe the person you’d like to be a little ways down the road. Start there. If you can look at your goals then you can start thinking of the ways to accomplish them

Just do it every day. Fuck results. Fuck loving it. This worked for me.

You're right, but some folks lose motivation and give up. "Love" might be too strong a word, but finding joy in what you do and celebrating the small achievements is key to maintaining motivation IMHO.

Indeed. I present you .. "a tiktok influencer".

Taking weeks to think about investing life savings into housing: not overthinking, just thinking.

Taking hours to figure out what the absolute best TV show to pick: overthinking.

I don’t need to fight a bear.

It will be miraculous and hard, and at times you will have a pink cloud. Congratulations, I am a friend of Bill W. myself for two decades, it changed a life that would have been ended years ago.

My psychologist calls this "effective" thoughts as in "effectiveness". It's the best way to think about it IMO.

Is the thought/sentiment (rumination in the case of overthinking) effective, aka is it productive and serves the current situation? The hard part is asking yourself that question at the right moment.

I ain't fucking no clowns

Thank you haha, it's my first ever one!

That's a great idea. I wish you a successful experience.

I'm not crying - you're crying!

External validation is like salt water; the more you drink, the thirstier you get. Someone will always have an opinion about what you should, or shouldn’t be doing based on their experiences. All you can do is what you feel is best for your own life.

Dude… have you ever heard about commas, periods, and the like? My lord!

Congratulations 👏👏👏 and I hope you continue on your positive journey

Same here, just bought a vibrator and am hoping to get even more dopamine lmao.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself...."

I guess we need fear.

This is the second time I’ve seen this today. I’ve caused myself so much anxiety and lost sleep and lost appetite because of overthinking the past couple of weeks with a situation. I’m trying so hard to relax and let it go. This helps a bit.

That's not how my mind works... It piles up until I drown.
