This mindset mistake is costing you years of the good life

It took me almost three decades of worrying, overthinking and grinding to exert more control before I realised it.

Behind me was a wake of struggle, frustration and dissatisfaction.

I’m not Mr. Perfect. But, by golly, do I have less of ‘those’ days. Much less.

What changed?

If I had to distil it into one sentence, it would be this:

I learned to stop trying to think my way out of my anxieties and frustrations.

Your mind is inconceivably powerful when you stop interfering with it.

First of all, what does this mean?

Life is uncertain. We get doubtful. We feel resistance to life, often.

When we do, we take this feeling as an indication that we’re supposed to do smart things. We think we’re supposed to worry to exert some control over the situation.

We assume we should apply some clever thinking we read in a mindset book.

We fill our minds with more thinking and doubting and controlling.

What happens with this new onslaught of thought volume?

We are weighed down in the mind.
