What I have realized is how much I over analyze and obsess over things that are complete. I need to move past re-reading and reviewing items already brought to conclusion. There's no sense. It's just madness.
Case in point:
Reviewing letters/emails more than once prior to sending
Analyzing letters/emails after having sent them
Obsessing that I made a fool out of myself and rehashing in my mind the ways in which I screwed up interactions [this occurs primarily in the workplace]
Detrimental effects to this over analysis:
It wastes time and is unproductive
It makes you feel crappy
Sets off anxiety
Diminishes one's self esteem
Lessons derived from such over analysis:
Be yourself [if others have a problem with it, that's not your problem; as long as you're not hurting anyone, you're good], we're not perfect, what's done is done [be content with past activity, or at least accept it for what it is and don't dwell on what you deem to be negative components of the past], there's a reason they say, Let Bygones be Bygones
Spend time on more important matters, like the present moment
Let go [free yourself of the past to appreciate what's in front of you]
