It’s not just your overthinking but what you’re thinking of, have you noticed overthinking is almost always negative? There are two things we can do to temper this relentless dampening stream, one is to change the thoughts themselves and the other is to create quiet gaps in between. When we accept that stillness gives us a break from almost constant inner dialogue, it’s easy to see the benefits and not think of meditation as weird or odd. These are the firebreaks that halt the thinking blaze, and you’ll look forward to the next one, and how they frame your days.
