The Trap of Overthinking

In our daily lives, we get stuck overthinking. We constantly look for more than what is right before

us. I see this most clearly in my life as a parent. I spend so much

time worrying about my kids. I analyze every little behavior. Why are they acting

out? Is it something I did? Is it a developmental phase?

I turn into a detective trying to solve a crime that hasn't happened. But usually,

it's much more obvious than I make it. Are they acting sad? They're probably

just hungry. Are they grumpy? They're probably tired. Are they finding

it tricky to share? They're just worried about losing their toy.
