I recall getting this lesson from a mentor who after listening to me tell stories trying to validate myself in a relationship proceeded to respond with “you do a lot of overthinking, have you considered underthinking?” I respond defensive in the moment and I knew his words held truth. I’ve spent a good majority of my of time on earth creating stories in my head that almost never meet reality. Stories that create unspoken expectations and shape who I think I am. Underthinking for me is a reminder to be present. To be here now. Remembering I can rehearse stories if I choose or meet reality with presence one moment at a time. - @homeiswhereyouparkit
