The Opposite of Overthinking Is…
What answer are you thinking right now?
Each of us is an intelligent piece of creature. Because we do operate our brains almost everytime. There come thoughts, assumptions, words, pictures, sounds, and whispers passing by our mind without consent.
Between silent thoughts of your mind throughout the day;
Between strokes of teeth-brushing, waiting for the bus, steps you take to reach the room, logging in the computer, … queues and whatnots.
You could walk further and wander away, but then you have a point where you think you are going to stop, even for a while. Yea, true that. Your muscle fibres could cry then you feel ache, yet your brain never aches but you dound yourself suddenly cry. I need to accentuate this part — crying is good, crying is okay. Self-vulnerability is an asset inside a loving soul of your own.
Embracing self-vulnerability starts from the core, the inner mind of the owner. It is from our thoughts that we translate burden in our shoulders into pat in the back — translate experiences into epaulettes.
If overthinking is that oh-so-wrong, so what are we supposed to do?
(Reality check: You were thinking of too many answers at this moment… I assume?)
Overthinking was said to be negatively-charged your life as it build assumptions. By overthinking, you were creating millions of circumstances that were not natural to occur. Unconsciously, you also conspire the whole part of your life to make the less-desired occur in real life. Think of all good outcomes that might happen. Not what you desired to be, but how good life is to give you the outcome you are deserved and righted.

Be prepared for other circumstances is always a good thing. Create plan B, plan C, plan D for your possible solutions, but you don’t need plan Z. The moment you think too much of a thing… Congratulations. You just wasted your precious life on enjoying the present. Feel your existence in present to have the ease knowing you have future to go. Feel the presence as a present itself whereas you could appreciate how the past have given invaluable lessons for you.
You are your thoughts. Say what you wish to say, as in your words and in your thoughts. But don’t let it drives you wild. At this phase of life, I could prove you that pessimism does not always let you down. Overthinking, indeed, has the chance to do so.
So what would be the possible way we could have ourselved prepared but not over-prepared?
Overthinking is allowed only if you could overthink the better and the best possibilities. But that would be built from assumptions too. Assumptions kill.
The answer is simple — it is honest and sincere that your brain might even asks but does not think.
Acknowledge your true power within you. It is greater than what you would expect of yourself, but it is definite. Infinity of strength, peace, and clarity comes from the Higher power. Name your God, Saint, name the universe or whoever you praise.
It is not about faith, belief, nor religiosity, dear you logical-thinkers. It is about doing our portions of responsibility and enjoy the ride. Self-consciousness, of your strength and vulnerability, is the essence that make you whole. Your core, your thoughts, is you. What flourish from the thoughts it nourished also belongs to you. Make it dense, tough, like diamonds by the pressures. Not by overthinking, but by acknowledging these two components of you.
Do the delegated task whole-heartedly, delegate the rest — whole nine yards, all the way. Tomorrow, enjoy the bus ride with a graceful heart. Queue the long line with beautiful chants over your thoughts.
Presence matters, yet present is your only time to be less overthinking.
Were you overthinking just now?
