"Over thinking: The art of creating new problems out of ones that never existed in the first place."~ Anonymous
The original definition of an over thinker is to think about (something) too much for too long. The older I get the more I realize what loving yourself really means. Being an overthinker can make most simple life task harder to deal with than necessary. It is a consistent everyday battle of what-ifs . Personally for me, with being an over thinker I find myself fighting internally with negative thoughts daily, and what I wanted to change most was how I thought about the outcome of these everyday situations. 
So I decided to set a goal for myself and that is to remain positive, no matter the possibility of the situation or the actual outcome of that situation. I had to realize that I can not dwell on the past, on the present or the future. That I take everyday as a new day and let the next day give room for better opportunities. 
I know that I am not the only overthinker in the world, but I know sometimes being an over thinker can be overwhelming and hopefully as you pass by this blog you can use this goal I mentioned that I am using to strengthen my mental, and to work on becoming a better me, and gradually learning to love the way I think.

    Hello Jordyn! You bring up an interesting topic with your blog here, which is one that I often suffer from as well. I enjoyed reading about your experience, and also your solution to this problem. Overthinking can put us in a direction that we do not want it in, therefore affecting people mentally. Overall I am glad you discussed this topic, and your input was enjoyable to look over.

    Hey Jordyn. I as well am an over thinker and stress about the little stuff. I really liked what you said in your blog. What I found interesting about this was how you broke it down and set a goal for yourself . I am going to practice what you suggested and "not sweat the small stuff". This will be hard, because I live in a home filled with over thinkers. My family comes from a law enforcement background and they sweat everything down to the smallest detail! Maybe, I can convert them!

After Innocence - Reflection

Image
                   After Innocence is a documentary centered around bringing awareness to the many people that were wrongfully convicted due to the mistakes of our justice system. Many of these people in the documentary were fathers, husbands, as well as sons, whose lives were forced to be put on hold because of the lack of evidence given to provide these men their freedom.   Guided Reflection: There were many scenes in this documentary that got to me but one that particularly stood out to me was a scene about an inmate who even though there was evidence that proved this man's innocence the justice attorneys that put this man in jail were committed to keep this man in jail because they didn't want to apologize. This scene not only reached for my heart but it kept me interested all the way to the end because I wanted to see justice for this man who was locked up for the 20+ years of his life.        ...

Thanksgiving

​ Since thanksgiving is something that is quickly approaching, I wanted to take time to share some of the things that I have been grateful for this year. The first thing that comes to mind is life. It may sound kind of typical, but this year has been very hard especially when it come to this whole covid situation. Even though it is typically compared to the common cold I have come to real size that it is more than that. Covid is something that can be caught so easily and has made most life hard having to being put on hold. When it comes family gatherings or certain holidays it is not the same when everyone is over the phone. Although I am thankful for life and having the ability to still see my family. I am hopeful that things can get back to the way they were one day.
