“Telling the difference between overthinking and helpful thinking is like separating good wine from spoiled wine. Both come from the same place in our minds, but overthinking leads to getting stuck while helpful thinking leads to solutions. Good thinking turns confusion into clarity and problems into answers. A good thinker knows when to analyze and when to rest their mind—using wisdom instead of fear to guide their thoughts. Like walking on a tightrope, a balanced mind moves carefully between thinking things through and taking action, not spending too much time on either side to avoid falling.”

I deeply appreciate this analysis! I saw myself in the article and can start to deciepher when I'm being a good/helpful thinker!

Mr Pandher: what an excellent article! This is me...found out not long ago that I have been doing this most of my life. I blamed it on the fact that I am a business consultant and I am constantly looking and analyzing everything at this point. I have been told by others that my anxiety comes from the fact that I cannot stop overthinking. I appreciate this insight and have passed this on! Thank you!!
