So, is analyzing things the same as making excuses? Many times in my life, either at a crossroads or just when I have to make a simple decision, I find that my mind is critiquing and thinking about EVERYTHING, back and forth and round and round...I have thought so hard I've given myself headaches. Interestingly enough, I'm sitting her thinking if my thinking and reflecting is really thinking and reflecting or just making excuses and rationals for...everything? Does this do me any good? Or like with anything; do you just go with your gut when thinking? If not, how much thinking and how much listening to your gut should one do?
Sheesh, I dunno. Sometimes, I think thinking too much is bad - just bad and uncessary. It only allows me to run my mind around in circles and make excuses and irrational rationals. I wonder if it's possible to realize when this happens, I know I don't...the more I think the better I assume I'm "doing" in my decision making - but really, I think I may just be driving myself crazy!
I read this and had to think on it a bit (ironically enough). I think sometimes thinking about something over and over again is just a way to delay making a decision, but sometimes I think it helps bring at least a little bit of peace with a decision, because you at least feel like you did your due diligence.
