Music and thoughtfulness make me happy so I enjoy combining them in #threetunetuesday? I usually post #thoughtfuldailypost (@Wesphilbin waves the @thoughtfulposts flag) on Thursdays and have incorporated music for quite a while. So, why not switch it up and join the fun on #threetunetuesday as well?
Trying to pick a song that ties it all together and these fine Canadian Boys in Sloan might have it right. If it feels good do it.
Overthinking
I searched far and wide for the source on this one and only came up with a dozen social media accounts that shared it with no source. Well, there is a thinking man so it must be deep!
I have been thinking lately about overthinking. Mainly because I am probably a life long overthinker. Constantly replaying and rehearsing conversations in my mind. It usually gets to the point where I have to step in myself and declare enough is enough is enough and time to move to a different topic to beat to death.
Looking at this advice to overthinkers, we obviously are overthinking in an effort to take away tomorrow's trouble, but at what cost? When taken too far, as one does it certainly does rob us of our peace today along the lines of suffering our imagination in the present.
Maybe this is good advice for me to step in to mediate those internal debates a little earlier.
Triumph has been a guilty pleasure of mine for decades and I am pretty sure I have shared them before on TTT. This one features the fitting lyrics "Living for today forget about tomorrow" which is a good way to Follow Your Heart.
Discipline, Consistency and Belief
Another seemingly untraceable source of wisdom with some solid success principals to share.
Thinking about the things it takes to be successful, or at least make progress, and it can't be pinned down to 1 thing. Discipline is definitely a key to success but without a little fuel can lead to a thankless grind. Consistency can contribute to progress down a line but consistently not doing the right things will take you further from winning. Belief is the fuel for them both but without any action or hard work, can just be empty.
So, when I think about the things I want to achieve and what it takes to get there, it is a nice salad with those ingredients working together. Consistently doing what will produce the results and believing in both the process and the place it will take me.
Let us consistently do the things most won't feel like doing, knowing it is a marathon that we will get through on our belief in ourselves.
Possibly one of the greatest and overplayed songs of all time but don't stop believing in yourself and let discipline and consistency get you through the marathon.
So happy to be combining #threetunetuesday and #thoughtfuldailypost with some thoughtfulness and music. If being thoughtful is up your alley, you have the option to delegate to @thoughfulposts to increase the rewards for positivity.

Here's to introspection, discussion and MUSIC!

I'm also an overthinker, similar to you, and it's true, who doesn't overthink lives more relaxed 😂 but we are made like this

Worrying--oh my do I have to remind myself of this. If there is nothing to be done about an impending event, why ruin today worrying about it. This comes in handy why I'm flying (actually, came in handy, because I don't fly anymore). I work myself into a frenzy before the trip, on the plane. Ridiculous. If it crashes, it crashes. Worrying isn't going to stop that.
I think in a way, worry is a way of trying to control an event. It's a kind of guarding. We think if we aren't vigilant, then bad things will happen.
Totally irrational :)))
