How to stop to Rationalize?

Question

People worry over a lot of things everyday. I'm sure you do it, and I know I do it too.

It can be something very minor from an article of clothing, to deciding what to eat.

I make a big deal out of everything. I need to be able to say, "Screw it." and just see where my day takes me.

I think too much into things. Like deciding if i should eat or not, depending on many factors such as if i already ate and the nutritional value of the food. (im not overweight or anything)

I think too deep into too many things. so much that my days consist of a lot of thinking rather than doing.

how can i stop this?

for a long time now i have been a thinker, rather than a do-er, because of this.

help!

Answer 1

Deciding over article of clothing, obsessively, is not thinking deep, it is obsessing.

A deep thinker assesses deep things and is not self centred. He may be self focused. He is meticulous but he is not fussy. He exercises care in carrying out a task but he is not devastated if his hair is out of place in the wrong place.

Whose approval are you trying to gain by doing what you're doing?

Answer 2

Your problem is with Prioritization. Unless you have more time on your hands than a newly invested Tibetan Monk, you need to do some things at certain times. If you make yourself late deciding between a blue or white shirt, you have failed to judge the Importance of what you are doing and what you are about.

Make a list on paper of ten things that are more important to finish doing than answering a ringing telephone. Make a list of ten things that you want in your life. Make a list of ten things that are NOT important enough to ask about on Yahoo! Answers.

Don't think about whether to do these lists. Start now.

Answer 3

If you are a thinker, think.

Then you can tell the do-ers why what they did didn't work.
