Being an over-thinking, over-analytical and over-the-top Virgo is one of life’s not-so-little fuck-overs, but I’m doing my best with the cards I’ve been dealt and the cards I’ve been choosing. Winter has arrived, and like so many other winters before it this is a time of rumination and contemplation. My daily meditations have resumed and my mind is in a more settled place because of them. Additionally, I’ve re-introduced elements of well-being into the daily routine, which has calmed my riotous heart as well.
Along those lines, a book by Joseph Nguyen – ‘Don’t Believe Everything You Think’ – is tailor-written for someone like me, who tends to overthink and dwell much too long in my thought process rather than simply living. It’s already unraveling some knots that I’ve had for decades, knots I assumed I’d have to live with for life. When you finally untangle a delicate necklace it’s such a relief and joy you wonder why you didn’t tackle it in the first place, slowly and carefully and deliberately.
I’ve just started the book, and I invite anyone who overanalyzes to join in the journey. More quotes like to come…
