OVERTHINKING AND ADULTHOOD
What clothes did you wear on your 10th birthday? Had you had them planned a week before or did you wear whatever your parents decided because you never actually cared. Had you ever thought about how you looked in 5th standard or all you cared about was what your mum packed you for lunch. Have you ever wondered why making friends is hard in adulthood than it was when we were little. WHY PEOPLE WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TIME WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE? Was the world a better place back then or was our little brains too wrapped up in our ALL TAKEN CARE OF worlds. Adulting is hard no doubt, after hitting puberty all those hormonal and body changes make you a different person. Some grow confident in their skins, some had to go through that acne, hair loss, body dysmorphia. Kids who were happy with their B grades, now had a social pressure of getting good grades to get into good universities, secure good jobs. All this to EARN good, to support the families they made. All this race gets more difficult when you start adding more people in the picture. No doubt Comparison is the thief of happiness but even if you control your brain strings the society outside is a continuous reminder. It’s there to tell you where you stand and where you should go.
But the Question Is Overthinking a solution or a problem? Many people know the answer to that, but they are unable to stop themselves. All these new challenges are a gift from adulthood, and this is something inevitable. But if it’s inevitable, what should you do? According to Prophet Muhammad “There is no intelligence like planning”. And thinking about something you can’t control is of no good. SO why make yourself suffer twice by thinking about it. There are some lessons that you learn as you grow old.
You start time management, you start multitasking, you start cooking your own meal and start going on your own little adventures and all these are not a result of overthinking, is it? It comes to you naturally. my advice would be Take a Deep Breath. Take one day at a time. Live in the moment Let the future unfold naturally Learn self-love, learn about mental health and boundaries. Grow kinder each day /<3 AND BELIEVE IN YOUR DESTINY
