13 Quotes To Remember When You’re Overthinking
I hear all the time: “I can not turn off my brain”, “I often work
myself” or “I just complicate everything”. If I don’t watch myself late
in the night, I can hype my mind up and fixate on the past or future.
Our mind is a tool of memory and thought, left unchecked it will just go and go and go with no productive guidance.
We can not get angry because we do its job, but we can make arrangements to make sure we stay productive and happy. Save this article or write these quotes somewhere where you can see it when you’re likely to be overthinking. Or read them and form your own quote or mantra to recite whenever your mind starts to race.

2. “They say, “Look before you leap.” So look. But do not look for too long. Do not look into the void of uncertainty trying to predict each and every possible outcome, to evaluate every possible mistake, to prevent each possible failure. Look for the opportunity to leap, and leap faster than your fear can grab you. Leap before you talk yourself out of it before you convince yourself to set up a temporary camp that turns into a permanent delay on your journey into your own heart.” ― Vironika Tugaleva
