Over-(pick your suffix, but I'm thinking of thinking)

"You should think that carefully".
"Think about it".
"Deep thinkin'".

And the problem regarding all these afirmations, or general advices, is that they can pretty much fuck up everything when thinking becomes overthinking. Blasting your brain out with the supposedly careful consideration about one decision, issue, task. And yes, general advice consists in examinate with precision, rigor, and enough time how all the facts may or may not affect the outcomes, and how will they affect them.

However, as humans (and this is only an opinion) we became in extreme confidents on how our rational behaviour can solve or problems. Indeed, as "rational" beings, that's one of our most useful tools. Thinking help us to make choices, as we cannot rely totally on instincts. Also helps us to build an entire world for us to live in, as we seem to be ill-prepared to exist in raw nature. Nevertheless, when we rely, or better said, try to rely completely in reason, we make mistakes, took bad decisions, and ask ourselves "why did this happen?".

If we try to consider every little aspect of decision making, we miss the big picture and fail to consider the other sides of our own well-being. It may not seem reasonable to make a trip, try a new dish, do something new, but in fact, that may bring us joy, snap us out of routine and boredom. And even if a decision is supposedly made up considering just facts, emotions can be actually biasing the choice. Fear to change, extreme desire to a change. clinging on to something.

We are always bound to our passions and emotions. Reason is just a part of us. Guess the only good advice that can come from these musings is: try to balance. Thinking, acting, feeling. Juggle with them.
