When we obsess, we mentally stir up a pot of worry, anxiety, fear, and angst. Overthinking doesn’t give us a reasonable perspective, it turns us into hamsters, mindlessly repeating the same sentences and scenarios until we’re worked into a near frenzy. Our thinking created the agitation. The way out is through feeling. Mentally scanning our bodies and noticing our sensations brings us back to a state where we can most effectively respond to life…

With balance.
