It’s been a while since I posted here but came across this as I was reminded the other day that my hyper vigilance can be incredibly useful at times

is there an ex-overthinker in the house? i would like to know what was the final “this flipped the switch for me” moment after trying to not overthink for years
do people who’ve always been overthinkers ever actually ever stop overthinking?
does anyone want to form an overthinkers anonymous group w/ me?

Why is this in my movie? is such a great question to ask whenever something challenging or irksome presents itself - what is there to learn, understand, reflect on that this is pointing to. And is this an opportunity to do something different (even if only slightly different) than what I’ve done before?

A person’s behaviour in moments of friction reveals more about their moral reasoning and emotional maturity than their stated ideals ever will; action is the psyche made visible.

The primary purpose of therapy is to help us become aware of the unconscious parts of our mind, understand and accept them so we can then begin having mature control over them.
It's recognising the parts of ourselves that got stuck in survival mode and teaching them they don't have to live there anymore.

I wake up at 5.30 three days a week - sometimes four (depending on dinner commitments 😉)
It’s changed my relationship to discipline - I find waking up pre dawn, meditating, working out all before everything is buzzing around you is a deeply soothing and satisfying practice.
