1. Thinking is fine, over-thinking is unhelpful.

2. We love to analyse our feelings and we should be neutrally observing them instead. You are not your feelings, you can watch them with a dispassionate distance.

3. Think of the cow, who ruminates on food to gain more nutrition from it's sparse diet. That's what we're doing! And even the cow eventually shits it out. We are chewing grass forever, for comfort not new insight.

5.Thinking over your problems can reinforce them, but trying something new can create new pathways.
