1-Don't think too much
It seems so straightforward but for someone who thinks way too much like me, it's such a gargantuan task. monumental even.
It's advice I keep hearing a lot especially in my SPM days. "Don't think too much," as Cikgu Chan used to tell me. In my head, it's always playing a lot of scenarios of what could go wrong, how much of a disaster things would be if they do went wrong - but unlike other people who can see solutions and act on it? All I see are problems and I panic. And then things do get wrong and I blame myself for it (thumbs up)
It's such a tiring, never ending cycle of self-prophecy that I'm only very thankful and grateful that I haven't ended up homeless on the streets, and survived up to this year. I never gave myself grace for deciding I want to live, so preoccupied with my fears of what could go wrong as it is, how a lot of things could branch out. The "what ifs", the "what could have beens", the regrets before and regrets borrowed from the future.
It's enough to just be alive today and go "wow, I survived", doesn't it?
