It happens to us all,
We go through our lives
With so many thoughts in our heads.
“How can I do this?”
“Where shall I go?”
“Why is he doing that?”
“What was I thinking?”
These thought go through us,
Go though us all the time.
When do we relax,
Relax and think of nothing?
The problem is that we think,
Think too much.
If we keep doing this
We could end up with a problem,
A problem that wasn't even there,
Wasn’t even there in the first place.

I suspect this was a main part of why I mucked it up in 1066. I thought of all these ideas, etc!
But - when an event, problem, etc is here - there's no time left to worry about it! lol.
Thanks Orchi.
Well Said !! Half the problems are there and we add more on top if it with our thinking !!! nice one Gold !!
Very true VS, thank you.

Must admit, This is me to a tee.
The problem of the problem is the problem.
Of course it is Paul, maybe one day those problems will all be solved.

Yes there are times when these thoughts go through our minds and simple issues become aggrandized
beyond their importance - often when we lie awake at night.
So very true Michael.

OMG you've described my mum to a tee. What a worrier she was. I think she created an opposite in me.
A thinker needs a good book to get lost in and a river to bring harmony.
Thank you d a, yes a river and a good book can be so wonderful in our lives.

I am an over thinker
And I can feel the after effects it brings to me
It’s a very important advise
Thank you so much dear Andy
My pleasure spilleronsheet.
We must clear our minds more often.
Andy
Makes me wonder, what happens when an overthinker bumps into an underthinker? Maybe they both walk away thinking they're brothers from another mother? 🤔 Don't think about it for too long.
OK AP I will take your advice and not think about for too long.
Andy
The truth resides in the brief pause between two thoughts. Beautiful write.
Thank you Coyote, much appreciated.

Once that was me, but now the living is easy and I have no problems....until the next time...
A very truthful write Andy.
Thank you Dave, I do hope the living will always be easy for you.

Overthinking breeds worry, and half the things we worry about never happen anyway. We really do fuss. Thank you Andy. Well penned!
Thank you Garth, yes very true.
