In a world brimming with information and choices, it’s easy to fall into the trap of overthinking.
.
We ponder the same things repeatedly, and decision-making becomes a slow and painful process.
.
This is known as “analysis paralysis,” and it can cast a shadow on our lives.
.
It’s important to clarify that thinking itself is not the issue.
.
Thinking is a natural and essential part of our lives.
.
The trouble begins when thinking transforms into overthinking, fueled by fear and anxiety.
.
The more we overthink, the less clarity we find. It’s like a maze of worry that leads to the reality we fear the most.
.
Planning is wise, but it should not steal the joy of living in the present moment.
.
As the song by Marilyn Sellars reminds us, “One day at a time.”
.
Each day brings its own set of challenges.
.
So why rob today of its peace by fretting over tomorrow’s problems?
.
Worrying is like carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength.
.
Attempting to carry the burdens of two days at once can overwhelm and exhaust us.
.
Instead, focus on what can be achieved today. Set realistic goals that encourage growth.
.
In moments of anxiety, remember the wise words from Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
.
Let this season in your life be marked by the song’s resounding message: “Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.”
.
Embrace each day as it comes, tackle what’s in front of you, and let go of the burden of overthinking. 🌞✨
