Brain dumping

 So I recently listened to a Podcast on building habits and one of the point discussed was on reasons why we procrastinate. Among the reasons we procrastinate is fear of the unknown, fear of failing and overthinking. I know and am fully aware that I overthink like crazy. Sometimes I take forever to draft a simple thank you email for God knows why. But it has soon become a habit of mine to overthink and this led to me (I think) being inefficient (because I overthink, I want to make sure I cover all areas and that make sure there's no error/ almost perfect hence I take time to do things). And even when I was being too careful, I realise that I am still open to error. I still can make mistake. So really, there's no reason to try to make things perfect (of course you need to try your best) because at the end of the day, nothing is perfect, making mistakes is part of life, part of learning.  

Anyway, I digressed.  So, the method to overcome this overthinking is of course - to speak to Allah swt about it. Make lots of duaa to keep your heart firm and confident. I mean, I (think) speak to Allah all the time. I (self-diagnosed) am always and easily get anxious over things. So I always always (deep in my heart) seek Allah swt's help and guidance. But sometimes, I take it for granted.  Like, we know He knows so we assume that we don't have to tell Him anything (coz He knows! right). But He loves that we speak to Him. He promise to listen! Even if He knows already. Talk to Him not because He needs us to, because we need to. Although we don't get responses like when we speak to our friends or partners. But He gives comfort that knows no bounds. 

I don't know the purpose of this post. But I feel the need to just jot something down. It is rather timely to remove the cobwebs. Hehe.
