The vortex of What-Ifs

Do what makes you happy, and try not to look behind💜because if you keep looking back, you won't be able to go ahead and if you are not happy, then what's the point of this life ? Everytime I overthink , and I do that quite often, I know the possible outcomes and the results but the uncertainty combined with the fear of worst case scenarios always put me in some sort of anxiety. I sometimes wondered what if I just let go and did things without fearing much on the consequences but somewhere it's so hard to open a lid that would be either freedom, happiness and everything holding you back but or everything that destroyed you. It's deep rooted and psychological ! It's so much processing that we have to do for the same outcome , like you think much or don't think what's gonna happen will still happen, and we don't know if it will be good or bad. It's a chance, take it or leave it. So choose what's making you relaxed, go easy on yourself.

PS: Have you been in an overthinkers mind? It's a vortex swirling with fears and what-ifs , even if you peep in through a window you might get sucked inside.
