"Happy" "Positive" Life: What is the Point?

-
I can tell you firsthand how I arrived at this epiphany of developing a lifestyle of having more happy days. After 30 years as a public school educator slash administrator, I was exhausted. I complained daily. My very patient husband listened to my moans and groans regularly. It saddens me to report this, but it was a constant gripe session.  In my honest opinion, the workload, bureaucracy, behavior concerns, lack of parent involvement, and pure exhaustion of balancing it all, lead me to a breaking point.

Many of us have had experiences where we cannot stop thinking about something, no matter how hard we try. Often there is no action or doing involved just thinking. When we get caught up in a loop of overthinking, time and energy are wasted. Most importantly, it prevents us from acting, doing new things, and making progress in life. When we get caught up in the loop of overthinking, there is more likelihood for worry, anxiety, and lack of inner peace. I think it is safe to say we can be more efficient, more peaceful, and happier by training our brains not to get caught up in the everlasting loop of thinking and thinking over and again. Over-thinking can be detrimental to performance, and lead to anxiety and depression. I chose to write about overthinking so that we learn to recognize and name triggers and stop harmful patterns.
