I feel you! I struggle with both: the fear of known as well as the fear of unknown. I once read a quote that I remind myself in such situations “We often suffer more in imagination than in reality”. So whenever I am slip into overthinking mode I just remind myself that this is my imagination and not my reality; and as soon as I realise that my anxiety calms down. I also just give myself the permission to overthink everyday. That way it does not take over my entire day.
Also, how about you start with small doses of spontaneity? Like maybe 10 mins a day or something like that? Just a suggestion 😊
Thank you for sharing. This quote is definitely an affirmation I will be reciting to myself, it's so needed! It's also very true that once you allow the overthinking, it begins to slowly settle down which is fascinating to me.
The goal is to find balance, and 10 minutes doesn't seem very scary. I promise to try and I will keep you updated my dearest Priya! It's so good to read your words again.
