Let Go to Grow: The Perils of Overthinking

The mind often clings to past fears and anxieties, interpreting stimuli from the outside world through a lens of negativity. This habitual overthinking creates a relentless cycle of stress and anxiety that cannot be controlled or resolved through mere thought. Attempting to manage the world to avoid triggers is futile; the desire to think one's way out of problems only exacerbates the distress. True spiritual growth requires recognizing the futility of this destructive pattern and relinquishing the need for control, thereby allowing for a healthier mindset.
