Self Observation and Reflection

I have realized that I have a tendency to beat a situation to death in my head. By that I mean I am prone to over-analyze, over-think, and generally deconstruct certain situations. I think I do this in the hope of willing a glimpse of how the situation will unfold- essentially wanting to know how the future will go and subconsciously thinking such over-analysis will aide in such an endeavor. It will not- and logically I know that. However, I still have times where I find myself meticulously going through past events and running potential future scenarios in my head. It is not fun yet somehow I illogically do this. Perhaps by being aware of it I can take a step back and prevent it. Sometimes it would be really nice to shut off my brain.

Those are my thoughts for today.
