I got this piece of advice from the internet not too long ago. And so whoever "Anonymous" is, I thank him for that quote. It's useful for over thinkers like me.
I've had several practical applications for this tip. Like when I drink coffee and get both shaky and nervous. Expecting the worst result always leads to an inner satisfaction...whatever that result is.
But I've found another piece of advice more appropriate, and it came from...well, my brain.
It's when I tell myself to "Stop Thinking" and just live in the moment. I mean, how am I supposed to over think if I don't think at all? It usually gives me no choice but to act naturally, rather than have my decisions altered by weird thoughts.
What are YOU worrying about?
Is it worth the time you spend thinking about it? Does worrying help you at all? Does it improve your actions or does it take you down the darker road?
Right now I have to answer those questions too. I'm losing my optimism...and it scares me cause it's the exact same thing I need to get by smoothly. I've always been an optimist. And now I'm changing. How do I live life without my positive thoughts?
Maybe I should just go with the flow of my own mental waves. Maybe it's time to be flexible. Maybe its time to accept that things change...including me. I have to learn how to adapt to this new me. After all, I was the one who wanted an improvement. It's not right to fear my new self anymore.
I have to do it right now: Stop thinking before my thoughts destroy things that are perfectly fine...and you should too.
I wasn't planning on blogging about my worries at all, 'cause it felt like adding fuel to the fire. While typing this, it felt like I was worshiping my negative thoughts--letting my fears run my own blog. But the first step towards the cure is acceptance. After all...
What's the worst that could happen?
Smile Ark. Your halo is glowing again. :)
Dude, I try this: Whenever a negative thought springs in your head, mentally yell "Drama queen!" In our homophobic environment, it's practically foolproof.
