you can waste a lot of time wondering if your thoughts are true, your mind will always tempt you into that discussion, however its all a ruse to detach from your emotions; truth or not, thoughts are no more than words, and if they are not good or constructive to you, free yourself

One foot in front of the other is the only thing that works

Too much self reflection is harmful

for sure! I think the idea is to let go of thoughts that nudge you to the wrong direction (esp bc thoughts aren’t always a reliable narrator),& this could be a good way to keep a check on it! not like a 24/7 on switch, but more like a check in switch for when you feel like you’re getting a lil carried away

Yeah - but for a long time psychotherapy/self reflection was portrayed as "do it all the time!!!!" 

More recently its been shown that's actually not a good idea lmao. Feels like ppl knew that to some level intuitively but were pushed in the wrong direction
