Brain Strain (side effect)

Remember that episode on Spongebob where his brain was overwhelmed and it caught on fire, that's how brain strain feels. The amount our brains have to deal with is incredible to me, performing numerous task constantly and daily. Overthinking is just another huge package to sort out and deal with, in other words it will increase the mental activity of the brain and cause it to strain. This is why they say don't think about anything if you have a headache or don't think to much or you might get a headache.

Time wasting (side effect)

Overthinking has multiple side effect, one includes time wasting, either you never act or you act to late. In the end it all falls under productivity, but in general if you think to much you expand your time. Once you expand your time you do little to nothing and end up frustrated, yes Rome wasn't built in a day , but productivity sucks if your plan is a discombobulated mess(like the art of overthinking). So think of it this way, excessive thinking is a lengthy activity that threatens your productivity and is a unwanted side effect.

Math

Okay so lately all my post consist of the negative aspects of overthinking , but don't get me wrong sometimes it does help. For example it was around the first week of school, my math teacher allowed us to get into groups. He then had us do these sort of brain exercises , reminding us to think first do later. The whole time he kept repeating "think outside the box" and the thing is that's exactly what overthinking is ,just thinking outside the box analyzing every aspect multiple times in a time span. In this case it helped those who really did overthink the problem and didn't just go hands on first. I guess the lesson I'm trying to state here is that sometimes it can be better to just stay thinking, till of course you feel ready to solve the problem.

Food

That moment when you reach a restaurant with a wide variety of food and you have no idea what to choose from. Okay this is more of a silly topic , but honestly how troublesome is it walking in a restaurant or anywhere in general and going "I want that.. no wait that.. no wait..". This also falls under decision making , but I know particular people who like food a certain way that they overthink the ingredients and end up never buying at all.

Decisions

Should I or should I not ? simple enough right. Something so simple like a yes or no question can strain your brain in ways that in my opinion should be stopped. Here's why I say this, the moment you make the decision it's done no point in dwelling. Why would you overthink especially when you know you can't fix or rearrange the situation. Sometimes you can change the outcome, but anything otherwise is not worth bother. No matter how you feel about an unchangeable decision  , you should know at the end of the day your mind was made up. You should feel proud you could make a decision nonetheless cause what's worse then overthinking decisions is being indecisive.

Education (Feedback)

Due to my last post I explained how I've been currently overthinking my education, but I asked a friend to see if he could relate, According to his response I can tell that a problem will eventually require him to overthink what might happen because even if he believe he has everything figured out, the chances always differ in the future. Take a look this was his response...

Me:What do you want out of your education?

Him: Usually it's school then a job, but others sadly would prefer to drop out and maybe get a GED,  which eventually leads to mediocre job. For me I'm planning on graduating high school with an AA degree then going to college to study medicine. in high school I will be taking many different AP classes and go into duel enrollment so that I can graduate with an AA degree. After high school I plan on going to college. What College do I plan to go to ? now see I haven't worked my way to that quite yet. When the time comes I will fill out many applications and that's all I can really say.

Education

The road to success or should I say the road to stress. It is now my Junior year and probably the toughest, but it's just the beginning for a better tomorrow, most would say. However the moment I feel like pulling out my hair and screaming at the top of my lungs is when I realize I can't keep overthinking where my tomorrow is going to be. Just a couple of days ago our school had a college fair I went through every booth and saw the different things each school had to offer. I went home just to wreck my brain and ask "where do I want to go?" then my back forth began (yay overthinking). I have no idea what I want to be , where I want to go and what I'm gonna do. I guess in the last few years you acknowledge this idea, This is where I am now , don't get me wrong my grades are top notch, but does it really matter if I don't know what I want. Currently and almost always will I feel like I need to do more more and make more of myself at least educational wise.
