I think I think to much

In Stoicism, the focus is on controlling your own thoughts and actions—not the thoughts or actions of others.

Emptying ourselves of our jumble of thoughts requires courage, because without our thoughts as distractions, we are left to sit with uncomfortable questions about our future and our purpose. That is why building a Second Brain is a journey of personal growth.

I thought to myself, Wait a minute, I can feel horrible and still do what I need to do? Yes, Mel, you can. And it worked. In those five seconds, I had interrupted the cycle of overthinking. It felt like a small victory, but it was also a revelation. If I could push through those five seconds of fear, maybe I could push through anything.

A common challenge for people who are curious and love to learn is that we can fall into the habit of continuously force-feeding ourselves more and more information, but never actually take the next step and apply it.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. —Henri Bergson

Perfectionism is most famous for its relationship to procrastination; it stops you in your tracks and prevents you from starting, finishing, sharing.

You must use your mind to get things off your mind.
